Sooo, are those incredible holds and increases for Big Hero 6 kinda normal for december releases?

*Prays that it's above the usual holiday holds

[catlover]

Wow, Corpse was way underestimating them both.

 

Yeah, especially Yokai. 5.4 billion yen already. It could actually get to 7b. If it does, it will be harder for BH6 to pass Yokai's total, but BH6 will get 6b+ I think.

 

Sooo, are those incredible holds and increases for Big Hero 6 kinda normal for december releases?

*Prays that it's above the usual holiday holds

 

Apparently a lot of other movies increased this past weekend (The Vancouver Asahi increased 50%, The Hobbit +8.3%, Gone Girl +4.5%, etc), so I think the increase was kinda normal. But BH6 still had the 2nd biggest increase in the top 10, and a 3rd weekend that is better than its OW. That's pretty impressive. Usually it's a sign of good legs to follow. BH6's holds on weekdays during the holidays were great too. So I'm guessing overall it's a better-than-normal performance for a December release.

[pepsa]

Maybe next time they need to put in a prinses who kicks baymax butt, then it will hold beter I supose.

[CelestialFairyIX]

*Gives Big Hero 6 a smooch* I'm hoping this is a sign of GREAT legs for the movie because this will surely mean that upcoming Disney MIGHT be hits as well, if Japan truly warms up to Disney.  

[TalismanRing]

Maybe next time they need to put in a prinses who kicks baymax butt, then it will hold beter I supose.

 

Hold better than having a better 3rd w/e than a 1st w/e?

Just check frozen, you will get it

[TalismanRing]

Just check frozen, you will get it

 

I get it.  I don't expect it to continue like Frozen but right now it holding brilliantly.

 

I recently saw Frozen and Princess Kaguya on back to back nights.  Frozen was pretty and fun with catchy music but Kaguya is a beautiful emotional moving masterwork with a far more complex and engaging heroine than Anna and Elsa combined.  It made about 1/10th what Frozen did in Japan. I just can't....   Embrace your native genius Japan!

Can someone finally change the title of this thread (I don't know how to do it or even if I can do it)

Additional Notes:
>The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies will pass The Desolation of Smaug (¥1.40 billion) sometime next week. However, it doesn't look likely to match An Unexpected Journey's total (¥1.70 billion)

>Naruto and Parasyte are practically tied (a measly $2,000 and 5,055 admissions separate them). Hopefully both have enough in the tank to reach ¥2 billion, but they'll have to crawl to the milestone.
