>Moana finally reaches the land of the rising sun, saving its most luxurious international territory for last thanks to an impressive opening weekend. Its estimated opening weekend is ~46% ahead of Zootopia; ~8% ahead of Big Hero 6; and ~15% behind Frozen. If you're only trailing Frozen, you're in good company.

There was little doubt that the Polynesian animated adventure was going to be a hit in Japan, and it's likely setting course for a total north of ¥6 billion ($50 million+), with potential for much, much more; perhaps even as much as ¥7/8 billion ($60-70 million), and if it's a WOM success like its studio predecessors, who knows how far it'll go.

Japan is a lock to become Moana's top international market by a considerable margin, and should propel the film above the $400 million mark at the foreign box office and $650 million at the worldwide box office.

>Doraemon, despite facing major competition, secured a strong second weekend hold as its past predecessors have enjoyed, and depending on the actual, its second weekend might come in as the highest gross in the long-running franchise. The 37th entry in the series is on target for a ¥4 billion ($35 million+) total.

>La La Land has begun to slow down a bit following the Oscar buzz it benefited from last week, but it's still showing signs of a long run ahead with a very good third weekend hold. There's still a likely possibility of it reaching as much as ¥3.5 billion ($30 million+) or more, which could make it the third highest-grossing live-action musical in the market (behind only The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miseables).

>The latest Precure film actually came in higher than the past few films in the franchise if estimates turn out to be accurate. It's still down a good bit compared to some of the earlier this this decade, but an increase is an increase, and the franchise surely needs the positive news.

>Your Name. seemed like it may have been bumped out of the Top 10 this weekend, but another good hold has kept it there for yet another weekend - its 29th-consecutive week in the Top 10. It broke Spirited Away's 26-consecutive week run in the Top 10 two weeks ago, and it's simply adding to its incredible record that may never be broken.

Remaining in the Top 10 is also pretty crucial at this point, too, with Spring Break coming up in two weeks. There's still a lot of notable films to be released to take advantage of the holiday period, and films that have fallen outside of the Top 10 are usually victims of harsh screen/showtimes cuts, so a Top 10 ranking this weekend is very important and should maintain its presence at the box office into April.

Moana 

Sat+Sun 466k adm 589.5M yen

Fri-Sun 569k adm 715.3M yen

 

Your Name total up to 24.65B

 less than 850M yen to beat Frozen.

 

This is a very good start for Moana. Hoping it can at least become second highest grossing WDAS film in Japan after Frozen.

 

I think Your Name will end up around 25B yen, +/- 100M yen. I don't think it is possible to reach Frozen, even with upcoming holiday boosts. Its weekly totals are too low and the drops have become fairly large and steady in contrast to earlier in its run.

>Moana finally reaches the land of the rising sun, and although it came in lower than estimates due to a surprisingly low avg. ticket price, it still posted a strong opening weekend selling 466,480 admissions over the weekend frame on 568 screens. And since opening on Friday, its 3-day total admissions reached an impressive 568,882. Its opening weekend is 42% greater than Zootopia; 2% lesser than Big Hero 6; and 23% lesser than Frozen.

There was little doubt that the Polynesian animated adventure was going to be a hit in Japan, and it's likely setting course for a total north of ¥6 billion ($50 million+), with potential for more; perhaps even as much as ¥7 billion+ ($60 million+) if WOM is similar to its studio predecessors.

Japan is a lock to become Moana's top international market by a considerable margin, and should propel the film above the $400 million mark at the foreign box office and $650 million at the worldwide box office.

>Doraemon, despite facing major competition, secured a strong second weekend hold and claimed the biggest second weekend, and two-week total, ever in the long-running franchise. The 37th entry in the series is well on track for a ¥4 billion ($35 million+) total.

>La La Land has begun to slow down a bit following the Oscar buzz it benefited from last week, but it's still showing signs of a long run ahead with a very good third weekend hold. There's still a likely possibility of it reaching as much as ¥3.5 billion ($30 million+) or more, which could make it the third highest-grossing live-action musical in the market (behind only The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miseables).

>I mistakenly kept calling Let's Go, Jets! the latest Precure film all weekend, when it's not! The Spring Precure film opens this upcoming weekend - my bad! Anyway, the Cheerdance film came in fourth, selling 159,935 admissions over the weekend across 300 screens. This is a solid debut, and one that should result in a ¥1 billion (~$10 million) total.

>Your Name. seemed like it may have been bumped out of the Top 10 this weekend, but another good hold has kept it there for yet another weekend - its 29th-consecutive week in the Top 10. It has now sold 18,988,172 admissions. It broke Spirited Away's 26-consecutive week run in the Top 10 two weeks ago, and with 29-consecutive weeks in the Top 10 now, its record may never be broken.

Remaining in the Top 10 is also pretty crucial at this point, too, with Spring Break coming up in two weeks. There's still a lot of notable films to be released to take advantage of the holiday period, and films that have fallen outside of the Top 10 are usually victims of harsh screen/showtimes cuts, so a Top 10 ranking this weekend is very important and should maintain its presence at the box office into April.

Stronger than expected for Sing, aint it? I mean...given an OW no that far away from Moana OW, maybe 25% lower, but looking at Moana mediocre hold...is really possible for Sing to outgross Moana overall at the end of the day? Didnt expect Sing to pull off a Pets run.

I don't believe Sing will outgross Moana WW. I also think that Moana will make good money in Japan, we should not jump into conclusions [emoji6]

Ok. I thought you mentioning "Sing will outgross Moana overall" you meant WW.

Do you think Ghost in The Shell will get to #1 in Japan when it's released? I can't find any real sources regarding to the box office performance of the 1995 original animation in Japan, so I am unsure whether the film will become huge or not.
