The score was enough to fly past “Top Gun Maverick” even though the latter is still speeding along strongly and commanded 33% of the total market.

The Tom Cruise vehicle earned $6.58 million in its third weekend at the Korean box office for an aggregate of $38.5 million.

The power play by the two U.S. tentpoles kept the overall weekend score at $20.1 million, which is at the upper end of a range where Korean box office has settled since mid-May.

But the polarization is stark. Behind the top two, all other titles had to fight over the remaining one sixth of the total.
