A detailed breakdown shows that CJ 4DPLEX generated revenue of 46.9 billion won and an operating profit of 8.3 billion won.

In North America, the company recorded its highest-ever first-half box office performance.

In Korea, revenue reached 166 billion won with an operating loss of 6.2 billion won. Supported by recovery in the domestic film market, strong performances of Korean films such as "COLONY" and "Sal-mok-ji," the government's distribution of movie ticket discount coupons, and improvements in the domestic business structure, revenue grew by 17% compared to the same period last year, while the operating loss improved by 11.1 billion won year-on-year, continuing its trend of performance recovery.
