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

[Corpse]

Yeah, children tickets are cheaper, and there are various discounts for parents with children.  Instead of paying for individual ticket prices, a parent can pay for a combo ticket at a discount price.  Pokemon's a good example to use here.  It skews so young, that it has an avg. ticket price around 1,050 yen each year, which is ~20% lower than the national average.

 

Something happened with my last post, so give me a minute to repost it.

Just curious, do kids movies have lower prices? Seems kinda crazy having different prices.

 

Here's a more detailed response:

 

Premium Format (3D, IMAX, etc.): ¥1,800-2,200

General Admission: ¥1,400-1,800

Couples (Parent/Child, Husband/Wife, etc.): ¥2,200 (or 1,100 each)

Children/Teens (Elementary/High School Students): ¥1,000-1,100

Seniors (Over 60): ¥1,000-1,100

Disabled: ¥1,000-1,100

Young Children (Under 4): ¥800-900

 

These are the typical ticket prices, though it varies slightly by cinema chain and region.

But surely it is common everywhere to have cheaper prices for kids?

It'll be very difficult.  It's aiming for $30-35 million, I'd say, based on its performance so far. 

[MinaTakla]

@Corpse- Thank you for your amazing posts and great to have you back at the forum. Can you please post your end of run projections for Pets and Jungle Book after the weekend numbers are in? Would love to see where you think both will end up making. 

[Corpse]

Yep.  I usually include a line on where I believe a film is likely to finish in my weekend estimates/actuals analysis posts.

glad that you've chosen to post in these forums...japanese BO became lot more exciting with your posts

>The Secret Life of Pets is off to a very strong start, and appears to have dethroned Godzilla from atop the box office throne over the weekend.  Illumination has made a name for themselves thanks to the success of Despicable Me, but mostly those minions, and it clearly proves true with this debut.

 

If the estimates is accurate, it'll have only came in 7% lower than Minions from last year, achieving the second biggest opening weekend for a non-Disney/Pixar imported animated film in the market.  Minions opened a week earlier in the summer, so I don't expect Pets' legs to match those, but there is still plenty of summer vacation to go, so I expect a total north of ¥4 billion ($40 million+); that'd easily be enough to claim the title of second highest-grossing non-Disney/Pixar imported animated film in the market, after Minions.

 

>Shin Godzilla holds strong in its third weekend and delivers yet another incredible weekend.  There is a scenario in which it could still claim a third-consecutive week atop the box office (if Pets skewed really young, driving its avg. ticket price down), but if not, a third weekend of this level is very good.  After three weeks, it's already outgross Hollywood's 2014 film, and continues along a reasonable path to exceed the ¥5 billion ($50 million) blockbuster milestone.  

 

>Finding Dory also experiences a strong hold, in its fifth weekend, and has exceeded the ¥5 billion blockbuster milestone.  It does, however, continue to trail Monsters University, now back by about 9% based on estimates after five weeks.  Its projected finish remains unchanged as a result, so expect Dory to finish just above the ¥8 billion ($75 million) milestone.  

 

>One Piece Film Gold enjoys a healthy weekend increase in its fourth week, and likely secured it a total above the ¥5 billion ($50 million) blockbuster milestone in the process.

 

>The Jungle Book experienced a pretty slow start, but I don't believe the property had a lot of potential in the market itself (to warrant blockbuster predictions).  The debut is decent, but I doubt it'll be enough to push the film above the $1 billion worldwide milestone, as a total around ¥3 billion ($30 million) is likely its limit here.

 

>X-Men: Apocalypse disappoints, as expected, and misses the Top 5 in its debut weekend.  Based on estimates, it'll come in nearly 30% below Days of Futures Past, however, it may have opened slightly higher than First Class which opened to ¥158 million in 2011.  The new films are only earning ~60% of the original trilogy, but at least they're remaining somewhat consistent.  Apocalypse is likely to miss the ¥1 billion milestone, though, and should finish around ¥800 million ($7/8 million).

 

>And finally, just outside the Top 10, Ghostbusters finishes its previews week with around ¥100 million ($1 million) in advance of its wide opening next weekend.  It's very, very rare for a film to receive previews in Japan anymore, so it's difficult to say how successful the previews were.  However, given the selected theaters only had it scheduled for one or two showings a day, the figure seems decent/good enough to me.  I don't think it'll breakout next weekend, but it's unlikely to disappoint either.

[Corpse]

Weekend Actuals are coming in sporadically due to the ongoing Obon Festival holiday period, and I doubt they'll all be available until tomorrow or possibly even Wednesday.  So, when I post Monday's estimates shortly, I'll update the Weekend Estimates to include all known weekend grosses/totals, and update earlier estimates.  I'll mark films with actuals reported with a '*'.

 

Based on those actuals reported so far, I was quite close in everything's running totals, but I overestimated the weekend grosses a bit.  The available weekend admissions were in-line with what I was expecting, so the weekend likely attracted a lot of family business which drove ticket prices down a bit.

Could Shin-Godzilla have taking #1???

[Corpse]

You know, that's what I thought when I saw Pet's actual (one of the few films with numbers reported so far), but apparently not - sorry.  Shin Godzilla is still listed as coming in second place, so its weekend estimate will be lowered below Pet's actual until its actual is reported.  

 

I'll have numbers posted soon.

Weekend Actuals, excluding X-Men still, have been released and updated in the ongoing Obon Festival update (above).  Everything came in noticeably lower than estimates over the weekend frame (running totals were accurate though), but the holiday business is being spread out more over the weekdays this year it seems so no worries there.  

 

Wednesday is also looking pretty strong, stronger than usual, so the Obon holiday period still seems to be boosting the box office, too, so I'll post Wednesday estimates as well tomorrow.    

[Cookson]

Looks like Shin-Godzilla is getting imax screens on 8/25 and 9/11. Not sure if it's saying just those two dates or through those dates

[Corpse]

I'll look it up.  I thought it was already playing in IMAX...

 

I'll post Wednesday's estimates soon; the last day that'll see a noticeable boost from Obon Festival.
