'Wicked' claimed a 45% share of the box office in Korea, earning $3.58 million from 501,000 admissions, but fell short of sparking a much-needed industry boost.
The thriller 'Hidden Face' debuted at #2, demonstrating the local audience's continued appetite for domestic films alongside the Hollywood blockbuster.
