Bong Joon-ho’s ‘Parasite’ crosses $100M mark worldwide

November 04, 2019


Korean director Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” continues to be the buzziest title of the indie film world — and it broke a record for its director over the weekend as his first movie to cross $100 million worldwide.

The thriller about social class in Korea won the Palme d’Or in Cannes and is tipped to be a big presence at the Oscars, including a possible Best Picture contender.

It’s being released in the US by Neon, which put out the Margot Robbie movie “I, Tonya.”

The movie’s been so popular, theater chain Alamo Drafthouse renamed one of its Austin, Texas, locations the Bong Joon-ho Cinema.
