According to Box Office Mojo, an American movie box office aggregation site, "The Life of Jesus," which was released in about 3,200 theaters in North America the day before, ranked second at the box office with ticket sales of $7,012,750 (about 10 billion won) in just one day.



Hollywood media outlet Variety reported that the animation is expected to earn about $18 million (about 25.7 billion won) in its first week of release.



It also evaluated this phenomenon as unusual. It means that a Korean-produced animation has succeeded at the box office, beating out new films from major Hollywood studios such as "The Amateur" and "The Drop."



This work is a theatrical 3D animation created by Korea's Mopac Studio. Jang Sung-ho, CEO of Mopac, was in charge of directing, screenplay, and production, and cinematographer Kim Woo-hyung produced.



It was adapted from 'The Life of Our Lord', written by British author Charles Dickens for his children. Hollywood celebrities Oscar Isaac, Pierce Brosnan, Kenneth Branner, Uma Thurman, and Mark Hamill lent their voices to the film.



Hollywood media is also paying attention to Angel Studios, which is in charge of distributing the animation in North America.



Angel Studios, which is classified as a small independent distributor in Hollywood, previously set a box office record in 2023 with the low-budget thriller 'The Sound of Freedom', which earned $184 million (about 262.4 billion won) in ticket sales in North America alone.

Livestock Manure Methane Is Soaring, But 'Resource Recovery' Isn't Working [Now is a Climate Crisis]

이미지
It has been pointed out that the methane emissions from the livestock waste treatment process were actually reported to be 2.5 times smaller than the previous calculation standards. It is expected that livestock waste will increase rapidly in the future, but an analysis report has been released that 'biogasification', which turns it into a resource, is only at the 10% level. It is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane, one of the greenhouse gases, is expected to increase rapidly. According to the analysis of the entire livestock waste treatment process for the first time in Korea, the largest source of methane emissions was pigs (73%), and only 14% of pig waste was used for biogas in the public sector. It has been pointed out that it is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane from livestock waste is increasing rapidly but 'resource conversion' is insufficient.

When a star swallows a planet... [Now in space]

What happens when a star swallows a planet? The James Webb Space Telescope has released the results of observing a star 12,000 light-years away from Earth using its observation equipment. NASA reported the news on the 10th (local time). In conclusion, the star did not swell enough to swallow the planet as previously hypothesized. Instead, the planet's orbit gradually approached the star and was absorbed by the star. As the planet's orbit gradually got closer to the star, the planet was finally swallowed by the star. [Photo = NASA, ESA, CSA, R. Crawford (STScI)] The process of a star swallowing a planet revealed by NASA was that a planet the size of Jupiter first orbited very close to the star, closer than Mercury orbiting the Sun. Then, the planet's orbit gradually decreased over time. The planet gradually approached the star. As it approached the star, the planet began to brush against the star's atmosphere. As the planet fell in...
