The Big Picture The Korean-language horror filmExhuma finally debuted domestically this weekend, after a blockbuster run in its home country of South Korea. Exhuma grossed $65,000 from exactly three screens, for a sturdy per-theater average of $21,000. The movie will expand in North America next week, potentially setting itself up to become the next big Asian crossover hit.
It’s also the fourth-biggest post-pandemic hit for Korea, which generally measures success on the basis of admissions. Exhuma has reported over 9 million footfalls so far, and will likely conclude its run with over 10 million ticket sales, which is typically considered the benchmark for blockbuster success. Exhuma grossed over $5 million in Korea this weekend, topping the box office for the fourth time in a row.
Starring the iconic Choi Min-sik, best known for hits such as Oldboy and Nameless Gangster, Exhuma focuses on a US-based family haunted by a generational curse. They summon a feng-shui master and a shaman to investigate, and free them of the trauma. Exhuma also stars Kim Go-eun and Yoo Hae-jin. It currently has a perfect 100% audience approval score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, albeit with fewer than 50 ratings.
Can Streaming Be Credited for Opening Up Domestic Audiences to World Cinema? Directed by Jang Jae-hyun, Exhuma comes on the heels of major foreign-language hits in North America. Three of them — RRR, The Boy and the Heron and Godzilla Minus One — went on to win Academy Awards. Godzilla Minus One ultimately ended up grossing $56 million domestically, putting it ahead of the last Korean-language hit on domestic shores, Parasite.
