Thanks, looks she's just put a few other figures on there though not for DBZ or Conan.

You must wait for.

[Olive]

Conan cume: 1.81B yen, DBZ cume 1.83B yen.

[Cynosure]

Conan in line with estimates and DBZ slightly below then.

[scabab]

That'd be about a ¥473 million second weekend for DBZ. I'm not sure about Conan.

Where'd that source come from?

Edit: Got the one for DBZ

If DBZ was at ¥1.83 billion by Sunday shouldn't it be at ¥1.882 billion with the estimated ¥52 million Monday gross?

What do you think the movie will be at after Golden Week?

[edroger3]

Very strong presales for Cinderella on Toho in wed ladies discount day, more than sat and sun. Maybe someone waited this to go to see the movie? Or tomorrow is holiday here?

[Olive]

Tomorrow is Shōwa Day, national holiday and beginning of Golden Week.

[scabab]

You could have answered my question...

[Olive]

You could have answered my question...

Not good at projecting.

[scabab]

No I more so meant the first question. The movie was said to be at ¥1.83 billion by Sunday so with a ¥52 million Monday gross it shouldn't be at ¥1.896 billion.

I was wondering if he'd seen another source or something.

Japan usually does not report mid-week numbers unless movies cross a milestone.

Those Monday numbers were just estimated by edroger based on admissions of 5 chains.

Right, was a monday: 560K admissions and 700MYen in a day in 9th week of release. A boxoffice history milestone. Tomorrow, in any case, will be an interesting day: on Toho almost all the shows in morning/afternoon for Cindy are near to soldout and also Conan is doing well. Basing only on presales, Cindy could have more admissions than the 2-days OW. We'll see

>Cinderella debuts atop the box-office, though comes in a bit shy of, likely, too high of expecations.

Playing across 521 screens, Disney's latest live-action fairy tale grossed ¥556,108,800 ($4.7 million) with 419,796 admissions over the weekend. Its debut is 20% lower than last year's Maleficent, but it's still a strong debut anyway.

After Frozen lead to Maleficent which then lead to Big Hero 6 proved to be huge for Disney and the box-office, Cinderella was expected to follow suit, but it's going to finish quite shy of all three. It'll have no problem reaching the ¥4 billion milestone, but the ¥5 billion mark (considered the blockbuster milestone) might be too lofty a goal at the moment.

>Detective Conan: Sunflowers of Inferno and Dragon Ball Z: Revival of F experience some high drops after their record opening weekends last week, and both have exceeded ¥1.8 billion ($15 million) after two weeks in release.

Detective Conan is only ¥20 million away from passing Dragon Ball Z after debuting ¥85 million lower, and will no question end up outgrossing it. Both films are aiming for a total north of ¥4 billion, but will likely fall short of beating Cinderella for this Spring's biggest release.

>Parasyte (Part 2) has to settle for a #5 debut behind very heavy competition for this time of year, and comes in 20% behind its predecessors opening weekend, too.

Takashi Yamazaki's second-half adaptation of the Parasyte manga earned ¥270,712,500 ($2.3 million) with 204,691 admissions on 422 screens. Even though the opening is less than its predecessors, it's likely to have stronger legs and might crawl to the ¥2 billion milestone. Combined, the two films will gross around ¥4 billion, which has to be a bit disappointing considering Yamazaki's track record and the known source material.

>Ryou and the Seven Henchmen debuts at #7 with a decent ¥184,658,300 ($1.6 million) and 146,590 admissions on 246 screens. Warner Bros. has had more success distributing local films for several years now, and this one will be another success to add to their list. The #7 debut may look bad (the top 6 is very strong, though), but given the average screen count, it's solid and the film has a good chance of hitting the ¥1 billion milestone.

>Chateau de la Reine comes in at #8, disappointing quite spectacularly. Playing on 258 screens, the film only earned ¥50,508,500 ($425,000) with 40,440 admissions. In general, any opening below ¥100 million for a wide release is considered very poor, but to just barely break ¥50 million is terrible.

>Beyond the Boundary: I'll Be Here II earns top 10 debut despite its limited release across just 31 screens. The first film did very well, and this one did, too, earning ¥46,592,100 ($390,000) and 31,587 admissions over the weekend.
