It sounds accurate to me. Especially the part about not much Eng. information available.
Something also of interest is that S. Korea has been blocking American films(Warner Brothers) since Sept. from showing at almost all Seoul theaters. By doing this Korean films look better in the top ten and the Korean media can brag about it which has been obvious as of late. Congratulation Korea film industry at almost completely blocking Hobbit 2 etc...from Seoul theaters.

"Local distributors traditionally have taken home 60 percent of net profits for imported films in Seoul theaters while cinemas claimed the remaining 40 percent. Outside of the capital, the ratio has been 50:50. Earlier this year, however, CGV decided to adjust the profit share for Seoul theaters to 50:50, and Warner Bros. could not come to an agreement over the terms before Hobbit 2's release.
For similar reasons it was difficult for moviegoers in Seoul to watch Monsters University in CGV theaters in September and Thor: Dark World in October.
A spokesperson for Lotte Cinema expressed a similar position. "For the same reasons we could not show Hobbit 2 in our Seoul theaters, save for five branches in the city," she said, adding, "We are currently discussing matters but cannot disclose details at the moment." |
