So where the heck are you, crazy fans?? aren’t you supposed to support your idol? or maybe all you can do was to encourage poor girl who was a lil bit too close to your idol to commit suicide, eh?
This is from a week ago, but i’d feel guilty if i don’t post it up.
According to SINA, “Attack of The Pin-Up Boys” only sold not more than 100.000 tickets. geezz…This is a contradiction to what the company have said before:
The film did better than expected in box office sales. In reference to online ticket sales, the company was expecting a 22% range, but the sales made passed 41.19%.

or else, they did only expect sales less than 100.000 tickets?
It also failed to fulfill the hopes that have been raised before the release, even with good critics for the movie.
Many critics pointed out that the movie was plot-oriented, not star-oriented. Unlike the past movies touting its pretty boy casting, Flower Boy kept all the viewers until the end with a fascinating mystery.

i haven’t got the chance to check whether the DVD is out already or not, but my hands are itchy to get it.
But still, doomed with the ticket sales, the movie will still have its special screening as the opening of the Pusan Film Festival, October 4th.

Super Junior’s New Film A Failure
Despite failing box office results for SUPER JUNIOR’s film, “Attack of the Pin-Up Boys”, SM Entertainment will still continue to break through the movie industry. It is reported that SM Entertainment will hold an event, “SM Night,” as an opening for the forthcoming Pusan International Film Festival.
According to the 15 staff members of SM Pictures, a subsidiary of SM Entertainment, SM will soon hold a function called “SM Night” for the opening of the 12th annual Pusan Film Festival on October 4th.
SM will also design their own stage at the film festival and will also use different tactics of activities and ceremonies to attract domestic as well as foreign personnel to further understand the goal that SM wants to achieve in the movie industry. They will also announce information regarding the actors and singers under SM management.
Previously, only SidusHQ and Namooactors, two of South Korea’s top film management companies had held this form of ceremonies and presentations at the film festival.
To make a successful break through in the movie industry, SM Entertainment formed SM Pictures, causing SM’s breakthough in the industry full of expectations. Unfortunately, SM Pictures’ first film, “Attack of the Pin-Up Boys” starring Super Junior, was a failure in the box office. No more than 100,000 were sold, a dismal box office result. This has caused expecations for SM Pictures to slow down. Nonetheless, SM Pictures is still making an effort to promote the film.
