The number of moviegoers during the July-September period also hit a record high of 69.18 million, up 2.9 percent or 1.98 million from a year earlier, according to the data compiled by the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) that tracks box-office sales.
Of the total moviegoers, 43.26 million people viewed Korean films, a figure similar to that tallied during the corresponding period of 2013. Those who watched imported movies totaled 23.93 million in number, up 8.3 percent or 1.99 million from a year earlier.
KOFIC officials attributed the increase in revenue to the rise in the number of people who viewed imported films and a hike in admission fees by about 1,000 won from last year.
