Wonderland lost its box office throne, lost billions, and even Gong Yoo couldn't save it

After nearly a month in theaters, Wonderland only sold nearly 620,895 tickets, equivalent to 5.8 billion won (about 107.3 billion VND). This achievement means that the famous movie lost money and was not as "big" at the box office as the audience had expected.

The most famous project in Korea today is Wonderland, which failed at the box office, and a series of superstars could not change the situation. Right from the announcement of the cast, the movie Wonderland has made the audience restless because of its novel content and all-star cast including Thang Duy, Suzy, Park Bo Gum, Gong Yoo... Wonderland was originally expected to "make waves" in Korea this summer, unfortunately the film had to face failure and was in a state of heavy losses.

According to many netizens, the famous superstars couldn't save Wonderland because the movie's script was too bad. Although Wonderland has a new idea, the script is disjointed and the details seem to be patched together, as if the writer just added whatever he could think of. Furthermore, Wonderland is considered to contain too many illogical and unclear details, thereby creating confusion that makes the audience no longer interested.

One audience commented: "This movie has a very interesting idea but lacks logic, it feels like the writer wrote whatever he thought of. So I couldn't get into the movie, the more I watched it, the more I saw it." awkward. There is no reasonable explanation for Gong Yoo's appearance and disappearance, Jung Yumi and Choi Woo Shik's relationship seems like nothing."

With the current situation, it is impossible for Wonderland to change the situation in its last days outside the theater. The media also predicted that it would be difficult for Wonderland to surpass the 1 million ticket mark and that the producers would have to accept the huge losses that the film would bring.

The movie "Wonderland" tells the story of people reuniting with their loved ones through Wonderland - a video calling service that uses AI (artificial intelligence) technology to revive the dead. The film debuted in Korea on June 5 and quickly topped the box office. However, as soon as the animated film "Inside Out 2" by Disney & Pixar was released, "Wonderland" lost its throne at the box office.

According to statistics from the Korean Film Council, the movie "Inside Out 2" reached 332,286 audiences in 2 days of screening, while "Wonderland" reached more than 536,636 audiences after 10 days of screening. With "Wonderland", this is a fairly low number compared to the film's investment cost. According to media reports, to break even, the film needs to sell a total of 2.9 million tickets. However, this is considered quite far from director Kim Tae Yong's new work.

In fact, despite receiving attention right from the preparation stage with a cast of famous actors such as Suzy, Park Bo Gum, Jung Yu Mi, Choi Woo Sik, Thang Duy and the special appearance of Gong Yoo, but When officially released in theaters, the movie "Wonderland" still did not create much buzz.

Accordingly, there are 5 main characters in the movie "Wonderland". Suzy and Park Bo Gum play a couple, while Jung Yu Mi and Choi Woo Sik are the developers and operators of the Wonderland service. Thang Duy as Bai Li - a mother who commissioned this service to be able to talk to her daughter even after death.

Ten Asia commented that the characters could not convince the audience because neither their narration nor their background were explained in detail. In addition, the stories of the main characters are not connected or intertwined, leading to viewers being emotionally disconnected and having difficulty immersing themselves in the story.

Also according to the Korean newspaper, another minus point of the film is that the message is not conveyed clearly. On the other hand, "Wonderland" was also criticized for not making good use of the material and taking advantage of its release date.

The reason is because the film completed filming in 2020 and took 4 years of "production". During that time, technology has advanced a lot and AI has become too familiar to people, however, when it was officially shown, the movie "Wonderland" had a slow and somewhat easy narrative. guess. This is also the reason why many viewers left negative comments after watching the movie, because "So many good actors can they only make a movie like this?".

Notably, in the cast, Suzy and Park Bo Gum are the couple that receives the love of the audience. Right before the movie premiered, the "chemistry" of the two young stars and their dating rumors helped heat up the movie.

However, when the film officially premiered, Thang Duy was the actor who received praise for his acting when portraying the emotions of the story of motherhood. However, the talent of the Chinese star, or the hotness of the two co-stars, are not enough to overcome the film's major flaws.

So it's not too surprising that at present, while "Inside Out 2" is expected to set a sales record in the next week, the movie "Wonderland" is silently falling behind.
