"Ode to My Father," a South Korean box-office hit, grossed more than US$2 million in ticket sales in just five weeks of screening in North America, according to the film's distributor on Tuesday.
The movie, which tells the story of an ordinary father who sacrificed himself to support his family through the country's turbulent modern history since the 1950-53 Korean War, topped the $2 million mark on Monday, the U.S. arm of CJ Entertainment & Media said.
