The Sewol sinking has hit the movie industry as well.
The number of moviegoers on Saturday the 19th, as compared to previous weekends and previous years, has been cut severely. Last week on the 12th, almost 500,000 people were watching movies, including Hollywood movies such as 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and Korean movies such as 'Wandering Blade'. The number is already small, because 'Captain America' has been out for some time, and April is not the peak season for movies.

However, this week the numbers dropped even more. Moviegoers watching 'Captain America' has dropped by about half, with the same happening for 'Wandering Blade'. The total number of moviegoers reached a little over 330,000, about half of the number of moviegoers compared to the same period in previous years, and a severe drop compared to last week as well.
