However, he total spectator number of 1.9 million is relatively low in September. One of the factors is the short Chuseok holiday which coincided with a weekend this year. Traditionally, the major holiday Chuseok means a significant boom for cinemas.
The market share of local films rose 11% compared to August, but the overall figure of viewers is down by 38%. The first nine months recorded 117 million ticket sales, 5.4% less than last year.
