- by LEE Ji-hye / Dec 22, 2014
- ODE TO MY FATHER Tops THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES
After a close game, Ode to My Father took the top spot at the domestic box office. Both released on the 17th, Ode to My Father and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies rivaled on the chart. Prior to their release, they were taking turns in the first and second spot in the reservation sales. On the first day, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies was in the lead with a minor advantage of 4,000 admissions but throughout the weekend, Ode to My Father caught up and secured the top spot.Although Ode to My Father gave number one to The Hobbit on the day of release, it recorded high scores over the weekend. According to the Korean Film Council’s Integrated Ticket Sales Network, the film collected 184,972 admissions on the 17th alone, a satisfying number for a well anticipated film.On Sunday the 21st, the seat share went up to 54.9%, predicting a bright future for the film. The cumulative admissions count is 1,555,380 after the weekend. Ode to My Father was also invited to the Berlin International Film Festival’s Panorama section, which is taking place in February of next year, while it also plans to be released in North America in January. How the film will do in international markets will be something to pay attention to.However, Ode to My Father may not continue on the stride. Indie film My Love, Don’t Cross that River is still doing very well and the upcoming release of The Con Artists will be attracting many young audiences. Ode to My Father will have to wait and see if it can keep its place for their 2nd week.
