Korean movie “The Concubine” took the top spot in the box office over the weekend.

“The Concubine” which was released last Wednesday, sold 987,000 tickets through Sunday. The movie, which portrays eroticism and conflicts happening at the royal palace in the Joseon era, is estimated to have passed one million tickets on Monday.

The result is seen as remarkable, since it beat out Hollywood animated movie “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Want,” which was released on the same day.

Korean romantic comedy “All About My Wife” starring Im Soo-jung and Lee Sun-kyun is still in the box office running as well. The movie is third and has sold more than 3.42 million tickets since its release on May 17.

Meanwhile, “Prometheus,” Ridley Scott’s new sci-fi flick, showed disappointing results in fourth place, while “Men in Black 3” and “Runway Cop” follow in fifth and sixth.
