The admissions of 2.1 million discussed is solely for S. Korea. International showings is not included in this tally. So it is possible the China screening could be a box office hit for LMH in China. Sincerely hope so. Fighting!

@wisd, I am curious if you are referring to me as a LMH hater because I am definitely not. I just want to clarify that. I want GB to do better than Con Artists. The reviews I read clearly shows that GB is a superior movie to Con Artists.
@KrisSilva, LMH thinks 3 million breaks even and he hopes for 5 million. There are several R rated movies like New World that was 4.8 million, Man from Nowhere around 6 million, and a couple of others that were around the 5 million mark. GB is at 21,000 admissions today. It will take 5 days to reach 100,000 so it will take awhile to reach 3 million. I really wanted this to be a box office success for him and I hope it will at least reach 3 million when the run ends. Hopefully he will get the new actor award and recognition internationally. He deserves it.

@zinnia, thanks for your recent translation of LMH's interview. Really liked your translation. "Lee Min Ho said, "I mulled over the scene a lot. If I had been Jong-Dae, I would have shed tears a lot. In fact, I cried a lot [filming that scene]. But the director didn't agree with me. He said it[my crying] didn't suit the atmosphere of the movie. Talking with the director like that, I could understand the movie [more], and then I tuned my emotions to it." So having watched the movie several times, do you agree with the director's decision of not wanting Jong-Dae to cry?
@pixie0622, I enjoyed reading your review. You wrote "This time, I want to add some notes that relate to some of the nagging questions out there and also as a reaction to some of the comments that I've read about the movie and LMH...There are fans who were disappointed to see LMH in this kind of movie because it runs counter to the image they have of him." Where did you read those comments? I would like to read them too. As fans they should applaud his expanding his roles into new territory. He is actually well suited to this role as an action star and a sexy symbol (according to Ricky Lo), dark and brooding.
@almondcroissant, I would watch GB over American Sniper. In fact, I would not pay money to see American Sniper even though it is Oscar material.

I don't think GB has opened in Japan yet, has it?

@almondcroissant, nice to know that you are from Singapore. I was also from that area. Do you know if GB is already showing in Malaysia and if you have read any viewers opinions about the movie in local blogs or magazines or newspapers? I thought LMH had a large fanbase in Singapore. When he went to promote OSIM, the mall was packed with noisy fans. I think I read only two reviews from Singapore, the Straits Times that claimed LMH is too handsome and has more style than substance and another blog that said his role was memorable. I could not find anything else from that part of the world except someone on Soompi commented that Thailand is more into dramas than movies. So I assume those three areas are not doing well at the box office. Vietnam has banned the movie and I hear it is supposed to show in Myanmar. I have a feeling it may do better in Indonesia. I saw screaming fans there. I am almost sure that it will be a big hit in Philippines because he is really popular there, he has Bench and they are playing the song Anak in the movie. I really hope it will sustain in Taiwan and Hong Kong as someone commented earlier today in this forum. Next hope is China and Japan. Read that there was one billion hits for this movie on China's internet. If there were only 100 million GB attendees in China, it would be a real coup and maybe other countries would be interested. (Western countries). It is really not doing as well as hoped in Korea. The Con Artistes got 2.5 million within three weeks I think and it is not as good as GB. It will take awhile for GB to reach 2.5 million now that ticket sales has slowed down. Poor LMH, what's up with Korean viewers. Don't they love Korea's favorite son? He is such a sweetheart. They should just support him on his first leading role.

@minomi11 Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.
@foodmonster, Thanks for your offer at translation. I wonder if you could translate LMH's interview at TenAsia. Someone mentioned earlier that there might be an English version but so far I have not seen any.

Hi @adlyn13. First time signing on. I have been reading this forum for awhile but first time posting. I am not sure how to post messages and stuff but I have a question and thus I decided to jump right in. You said you were going to post the review on the G'70 thread. Where can I find the G'70 thread as I really want to read your review of Gangnam Blues. Or if anyone else at this forum can help me with that. Thank you in advance.

For US fans, Fandango has Gangnam Blues on its web site. They did not have it when I checked last week but today, when I put in my zip code and typed Gangnam Blues for movie search it came up with a buy ticket button. When you click on the button, it has a fan alert. Give them your email address and they will email you once they have a screening date near that zip code. It is worth a try if you live in NYC or other large cities. I don't know if Toronto has Fandango though. I saw the great news above that DramaFever will screen GB. I saw that they already have the Technicians listed on their web site last month so I knew that they would show GB sooner or later. However to those who want to see LMH on the big screen, try Fandango. I really believe it would screen near my zip code sometime soon. Hopefully in March.
