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

[eXtacy]

A shitty copy of Your Name has leaked online hardsubbed with chinese and english, I will wait for theatrical release in my country. The movie remains number #1 on MAL with an amazing score of 9.40 now with a decent sized 17,000+ voters.

Given there is no release date for France I hope for a high-quality leak with English subs..Not my favorite option but I don't have a choice.

According to mimorin at the 2pm mark:

There was a 14.8% decline in Your Name ticket sales from last week. As expected.

Shin Godzilla is going to wiggle it's way past 70m.

[Corpse]

It'll comfortably exceed $70 million.  It'll make around $1.5 million this weekend for a total around $67 million, and has two holidays coming up on Monday and Thursday, so it should be at $69 million, or even $70 million, before next weekend begins I'd say.  It'll likely finish between $75-78 million or so.

WiiU sold more units than PS4.

And it was released more than a year before the Ps4. The Ps4 should comfortably outsell the WiiU in the coming weeks and even more so once FFXV launches.

 

 

Anyhoo, Kimi no na wa is wonderful and is probably my favorite Makoto Shinkai movie yet.

How is Suicide Squad doing in its second weekend?

[efialtes76]

-4.6% on Sunday for Your Name!

[Olive]

By 7PM, it's -2.4%, with strong night showings, we may see zero drop.

[lab276]

Just outstanding. Is an Australian release likely? I'd really like to see it.

[Cookson]

Shin Godzilla is experiencing a 0% drop from last Sunday as well!

 

I wonder if it has a shot at having a 2m weekend now. 

 

Everything is having a pretty decent Sunday it seems.

[cannastop]

There are a few showings left, but Your Name has already passed last Sunday's total! 308k compared to less than 300k last week.

[Corpse]

Yes, it delivered its biggest single day ever today, too.  The Saturday-to-Saturday drop (~16%) will likely prevent a weekend increase, but a single digit drop, possibly as low as 5%, is likely.

 

It "only" needed a 14.3% to beat Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's fourth weekend record, and that record is all but assured now. Also, it's looking very likely that Your Name. will become the first film to ever achieve a fourth weekend above ¥1 billion as well.

 

Weekend Estimates will be up in a couple hours.

[Spidey Freak]

How weird is it that just seeing the poster of Your Name made me instantly remember The Place Promised In Our Early Days, a film I had completely forgotten watching about six years back. And turns out they are from the same director! Looks like I should visit the rest of Makoto Shinkai's filmography.

>Your Name. effortlessly retains its hold atop the box office and based on estimates; finally breaking Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's 15-year highest fourth weekend record, and by possibly over 10%.  Its fourth weekend is also expected to comfortably stay above ¥1 billion, making it the first film to ever achieve a fourth weekend above ¥1 billion, too.   Its fourth weekend remains higher than its opening weekend, too, making it only the second film on record (Frozen being the other) to achieve that feat as well.

 

Makoto Shinkai's incredible high-praised triumph continues along with its unprecedented performance, and its two-week total of ~¥8.4 billion could end up being the second-highest two-week total of all-time, only behind Spirited Away.  

 

Monday happens to be a holiday, the film's first (its doing these insane numbers without any holiday support so far), which should brings its total very close to ¥9 billion ($90 million), thus making it the second-fastest film to reach the mark (behind Spirited Away).  I said it'd probably reach ¥10 billion on either its 30th or 31st day in release, but it's outpacing that projection and could exceed the mark on its 28th or 29th day instead.  If it does it in 28 days, it'll be the second-fastest film to achieve uber-blockbuster status, behind, again, only Spirited Away.

 

>A Silent Voice debuts in second place, and did so by only playing at 122 locations.  An opening around ¥250 million ($2.5 million) is likely, possibly a bit higher since small-scale anime films sometimes boast high avg. ticket prices, making this another big success in Shochiku's near-limited release anime film list.

 

>Rage experienced a healthy Sunday increase, so I'm pretty confident it'll come in above the ¥200 million ($2 million) mark now.  

 

>The BFG also enjoyed a nice Sunday bump, and it should be enough get it over the ¥100 million ($1 million) mark for the weekend, but not much higher.  Overall, I'd still consider the film a bomb for Disney in the market.

I hadn't seen any of his films before, so I've been trying to catch them. So far in the past couple of days I've seen Voices of a Distant Star, The Place Promised in our Early Days, and 5 Centimeters Per Second.

 

And, overall, I appreciate his craft, but I think he leans a bit too hard on the melancholy for my tastes. 5cm in particular almost lost me in the third act, but he almost manages to recover in the final shot of the film. Of the three, I think I like Place Promised the best. It's still melancholy, but there's some interesting worldbuilding, and the ending is a bit more, ahem, promising.

 

I've got Children who Chase Lost Voices sitting on the stack, so I'll probably check that out in the next day or two.

 

He's good, but at least personally, I don't think I'd call him the next Miyazaki. His emotional range isn't as broad as Miyazaki. I'd say that Mamoru Hosoda is more of a spiritual successor in that regard.

 

But if we're talking about box office, then, yeah. Your Name is clearly in the Miyazaki conversation.

Yeah, I've watched 5 cm too. I agree with that assessment.

 

The concept of Your Name sounds intriguing so I wonder if it his strongest work yet. Have heard a lot about Garden of Words too. He is no Miyazaki, Takahata or Kon but I'm happy that he is finding this kind of success. 

 

As for Hosoda, I've only watched Wolf Children, which was great. I've heard the rest of his work have their flaws so didn't prioritize watching them yet.

[BadAtGender]

I really like Summer Wars. Probably more than Wolf Children.
