The South Korean blockbuster 'Taegukgi', which hit U.S. theaters Friday, has raked in some 12,600 dollars per screen during the four days of the American Labor Day weekend. The figure is nearly 2.3 times higher than the performance of Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou's 'Hero', which topped the North American box office for two straight weeks. The president of the film's promotion agency in the U.S. market, TCDM and Associates, said that "Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War" had posted a tentative total of 360,4000 dollars in ticket sales in 29 theaters in 7 U.S. cities as of Tuesday. The film was recently reviewed positively by the New York Times, which introduced the film's director Kang Je-gyu as the Steven Spielberg of East Asia and likened the film to a darker and morally ambivalent version of "Saving Private Ryan."
