How Korean Films Are Performing In Global Markets Since The Pandemic

This week, I’m sharing an article I wrote for KoBiz about how Korean films are being received internationally since the pandemic. Since I wrote this, a few mid-budget Korean films have been performing relatively well at the local box office, including Pilot, Handsome Guys and Escape, which is encouraging. But Korea continues to be a test case of what can happen to theatrical revenues when there is an over concentration of talent and investment in the streaming space.

KoBiz is a film industry online magazine run by the Korean Film Council. If you’re not familiar with it, I recommend you check it out because they have fantastic coverage of the Korean film industry, companies and talent, along with solid box office information. I only wish other territories in Asia had something similar..
