The number of films scheduled to be released in August has decreased by 43% compared to the same month last year, to 29 films, which is fewer than during the COVID-19 period. This is because a strategy of avoiding release dates due to the release of major films such as 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' and 'Odyssey' was used. In addition, the number of Korean films has also decreased by 42.8% compared to last year due to a decrease in Korean film production since COVID-19. It is expected that Korean films such as 'Okay Madam 2' and 'Gyeongju Trip' will target niche markets amid competition with major films and offer new attractions to audiences.
