JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW

[keysersoze123]

So Furious 7 actually went up. Very impressive opening. Could do 30m in Japan with Golden Week boost.

Any reason why it's Monday gross seems a lot lower than Battle of Gods?

[Meitantei]

Well now it looks like DC19 is going to get over 4.2 billion Yen (assuming DC is good enough to get a X5 of its OW, which I guess it would be) at the end of its run, making it the highest grossing among DC movies and it is surprising how the 19th movie gets to be the highest grossing DC movie.

Why such a huge decrease from yesterday?

Why such a huge decrease from yesterday?

Wed is discount day so many people will go to cinema tomorrow.

[scabab]

So it'll go up tommorow then? Is Tuesday the worst day of the week for movies in Japan?

[Cynosure]

Tomorrow is Ladies' Day : only women get a discount.

After it got to such a fantastic start these past few days for DBZ have been pretty disappointing.

[keysersoze123]

I guess it skews really young and so will do better over the weekend than over the weekdays.

[scabab]

That should be the case for Conan as well though.

[Cynosure]

DBZ probably attracts less women than the other two films hence a weaker Ladies' Day.

[fmpro]

When are TA2 released?

[edroger3]

When are TA2 released?

It seems july 4

[Cynosure]

The 4th of July. One week before 'The Boy and the Beast' which is expected to be the biggest movie of the year in Japan.

Japan is a market that can handle multiple big movies. You saw last weekend with DBZ and Conan breaking out huge but F7 still did great. I would not worry about competition.

 

I still feel A2 is dropping in Yen in Japan as sequels drop here plus 3d percentage will be negligible. On top of it currency is like 25% weaker. I am not seeing more than 25m in Japan.
