Wonderland is a new South Korean movie that premiered recently, starring big stars of the industry such as Bae Suzy, Park Bo Gum, Gong Yoo, Choi Woo Shik, and more. However, the film has failed to live up to expectations despite the stellar cast list and massive promotions.

Wonderland struggles for viewership in theatres

The new sci-fi movie titled Wonderland could not attract enough audience to the theatres and performed less than its initial projections. Although the film consisted of major names from the industry, it struggled to even cross 1 million viewers in cinemas. Moreover, Wonderland quickly fell out of the top 10 box office movies and will be leaving theaters with sub-par viewership in total.

The movie managed to garner just 617,690 audiences, which is significantly below the break-even mark of 2.9 million. The reviews by the viewers of the film remain mixed, as several expressed that they were disappointed with the unconvincing storyline. Moreover, the movie will soon be moving on to VOD services, which indicates that it underperformed in cinemas.
