The Korean thriller “Exhuma” made a stunning debut with $16.8 million at the box office.
The film follows two shaman and other characters as they try to unravel a mysterious event affecting a U.S.-based Korean family.
Starring Choi Min-sik and Kim Go-eun, the movie directed by Jang Jae-hyun has propelled the Korean box office to its best weekend of the year so far.
“Exhuma” is now positioned as one of the top-grossing films in Korea in 2024, surpassing other successful productions.
Other movies like “Wonka” and “The Birth of Korea” also made noteworthy appearances in the weekend box office rankings.
With a mix of Korean and international films like “Demon Slayer” and “The Sound of Freedom,” the Korean audience enjoys a diverse cinematic experience.
“The Holdovers,” an Oscar-nominated U.S. drama, opened quietly but added to the varied movie lineup available to audiences.
