Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday set for same-day Korean release
South Korean theaters are preparing for a busy year-end as box office momentum builds.
The Korean Film Council counted 105.77 million moviegoers so far this year, close to last year's full-year total.
Domestic hits including The King's Warden and The Odyssey have helped bring audiences to cinemas.
On December 16, Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday are due to open on the same day in a rare clash between major Hollywood releases.
The simultaneous launches could add to what is already shaping up as one of the country's strongest year-end box offices.
The next major test for theaters will be how audiences respond to the two films and the other releases scheduled for the season.

The Korea Times described the simultaneous release as a rare clash between Hollywood blockbusters.
