The theatrical debut of much-anticipated local horror-action film “The Witch: Part 2. The Other One” dominated the Korean box office chart over the latest weekend and overshadowed the simultaneous …

Distributed by Next Entertainment World, “The Witch: Part 2” conjured up an $8.21 million opening weekend from just shy of 1,800 screens nationwide. That gave it a market share of 48%. Including Wednesday and Thursday figures, the film enjoyed an $11.7 million five-day debut, earned from 1.46 million ticket sales.

The strong start for “The Witch: Part 2” lifted nationwide aggregate gross receipts to $17 million over the weekend, up from $14.7 million previously. In a further sign of normality being restored, the top two titles were Korean-made. “Broker,” the Cannes title about adoption, earned $1.27 million in its second weekend. After 12 days in theaters it has amassed $8.58 million. While the 70% week-on-week may be disappointing, the total is far in excess of the cumulative of all Kore-eda Hirokazu films previously released in Korea. It passed one million ticket sales on Friday, its tenth day on release.
