Korean Blockbuster ‘Exhuma’ Debuts with Huge Global Box Office Haul
The Korean film Exhuma made an impressive debut on just a few screens, hauling in a total of nearly $70 million.
The Korean-language horror film Exhuma 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. Exhuma debuted in Korea a month ago, and has since emerged as the country’s biggest hit of the year, with nearly $70 million in box office revenue, according to Variety.
