Finding Dory Tops Korean Box Office

Just like back in the US, Disney’s “Finding Dory” is dominating the box office in South Korea:

The blue tang fish Dory swept the box office in Korea over the weekend.

“Finding Dory,” the much-awaited sequel to the 2003 hit “Finding Nemo” debuted third on its opening on Wednesday but climbed up the box office over the weekend to the No.1 spot.

“Finding Dory” sold 852,140 tickets between Friday and Sunday.

According to the Korean Film Council, the animated feature film produced by Pixar Animation Studios has already sold an accumulated 1 million tickets since its release on Wednesday. None of Pixar Animation Studios’ work has achieved the feat this fast in Korea.  [Joong Ang Ilbo]

You can read more at the link, but I have watched “Finding Dory” and I thought it was pretty good, but I think “Finding Nemo” was funnier.  However, if you have kids they will love this movie regardless.

Finding Dory tops Korean box?

I highly doubt that.

…oh wait… didn’t notice “office”.

That kinda changes things. Nevermind.

Probably not even worth mentioning but some critics are judging the new Ghostbusters harshly. Complaints range from: the jokes just aren’t funny to there being no balance between the humor and tension.

The SJW crowd is having a fit, saying that anyone who criticizes it is sexist. The director is apparently trying to use the controversy as a way to either generate ticket sales or to explain in advance that the film bombed because of sexism.

I wonder if anyone will pick up the cause for Ghostbusters at the ROKDROP. No one in particular. Just some soul who isn’t championing a cause they found via liberal rags, but inherently knows gender bias in remakes of classic films when they see it.

Time Magazine tries to smooth over the abject failure of the new GhostBusters by claiming the original was teh sux. http://time.com/4404569/ghostbusters-nostalgia/
