Is "Hope" the highest-grossing Korean film released in North America??

‌

Around the first day of release, articles like this were popping up everywhere, and since it looked a bit strange at a glance, I did some searching...

• Hope
  
• Nut Job
  
• Nut Job 2
  
• D-War
  
• King of Kings
  
  Just from the rough search I did, there are already 4 movies with higher box office revenue than Hope...
  Even excluding animations, D-War is still there..
  ====================================
  The records are available with just a quick search, so I wonder why such news is being released and why they are going to such lengths...
