BTS Still Packs A Punch With ‘Suga’ Concert Film

Concert film Suga – Agust D Tour ‘D-Day’ The Movie from Trafalgar Releasing took in $990k for Saturday alone, rounding out the North American box office top ten — testament to the power of concert films post-Covid and the enduring popularity of the K-Pop powerhouse. The band is currently on hiatus as members entered military service required in South Korea. But Suga, the second youngest, got in one last solo concert in Seoul last year. It was released into theaters globally for two playdates on April 10 and April 13, for a cume of $2.2 million.

The film played at 723 locations Saturday in the U.S. ($910.3k) and 64 in Canada ($80.6k). (Total screens 787.)

The showtimes were limited, mostly to one 7 pm screening, although some theaters had more than one. Additional screenings continue at select locations through April 21.

North America Imax grosses for Suga were $705k — a notable 32% of the cume to date.

The Long Game from Mucho Mas Media was no. 8 in North America on 1,030 with an estimated $1.39 million. Julio Quintana’s sports drama starring Jay Hernandez and Dennis Quaid, is the true story of five young Mexican American caddies in 1955 who created their own golf course in the middle of South Texas brush country.
