  1. Hi guys! :) Another new user here, drawn in by Frozen's insane run. Have finally decided to make my first post because of my dismay at the early release date for the Blu Ray and DVD. Was very optimistic at Frozen hitting #4 WW until now. Do any of you still think it can make it? I'm really hoping it can as that will ensure it stays within top 5 for quite a while longer (maybe until Avatar 2 or Avengers 3) since Avengers AOU will probably beat it next year causing it to drop one spot.

    Welcome. call up disney in cali, ask for bob iger and get him to hold off on dvd and it will beat HP8. Doubt it will get there otherwise.5 emails sent. Write one. Let em know they are about to lose 50mhttp://thewaltdisneycompany.com/contact-us/corporate-communicationsAnybody working on getting hollis' contact info?And some one write the writers of bo or other news agencies. Maybe they'll right an article on questioning this dumbass move and how the movie is on its way to a massive all time foriegn release. Grass roots movement people. That means we need lots of blades in motion.

  6. Funny you mentioned the old Looney Toons, while channel flipping early this week I happened to land on the Toon Retro channel and started watching some really old Looney Tunes (they call them Looney Tunes Classic). I've started watching them regularly now and am surprised how many of them I've never seen. I started watching the dates in the credits and a lot of them are from the 50's, way before my time, although I did recognize a few episodes.

  7. Heh... I must admit my knowledge of movie quotes goes no further than Pirates of the Caribbean and Pixar.

    Have you watched Jaws, the god father, the excorcist, bridge over river quay, Lawrence of Arabia, dr zchivago, shawshenk redemption, glen Gary glen Ross, good fellas. If not, do so, timeless entertainment. Then ill give you a few more. Also, anything hitchcock or frank capra, Cary Grant or jimmy Stewart.The best toons out there are Looney toons shorts from the 40s and 50s. Funny for a kid or an adult, like pixar.
  8. I am afraid that google makes this far too easy...but its nice that you got some Princess Bride in there as well :) and damn... calling this run a rollercoaster is a bit of an understatement!

    I was dragged to see princess bride by a girlfriend. Had no idea it would be so funny and a well quoted movie.I say "thats inconcievable" all the time.Or when hung over. I feel "mostly dead"When a girlfriend wants her way andvit give up " as youuuuuu wish!"Im fighting lefted hand so that I dont win so easily. Ah! So am I.Beware of the R.O.U.Ss!Surrender! Very well, I accept!As she is about to commit suicide w a knife to the heart. "In a world short of perfect breasts it would be a shame to damage yours."
  9. That's not boxoffice history, it's knowledge of movie quotes.

    Or just knowledge of movies themselves.Name the movies. These are well known classicsFrankly my dear I dont give a damn.We need a bigger boatPlay it it again samLeave the gun and take the canolisGet busy living or get busy dying.No prisoners! (Actually quoted in animal house) a double movie quote.Fat lady is about to sing. I dont hear no fat lady!Is there any chance you would go out with me? About a million to 1. So you're saying I have a chance.Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me!?You think im funny? Like funny as in wierd? You mean funny like a clown?I am indigo montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!
  10. So, how many admissions is it? And how is it in dollars? can we expect 5 million on sunday?

    the highest day was 116000 admissions for toho during GW w 10% more seats. ave tix price will be 11.50 instead of 13.50Edroger is saying this is as good or better as that day, 90-100k is possible for toho x 5(mrkt share) x $11.50= 5.75m would be the highest. Tohi has done 80k on a non holiday sunday. Im starting to believe it should do at least that based on the presales. 4.6m4.6 - 5.7m80 - 100k toho adm140 -175k TMK1 adm400 -500k total admIll post the 20m runsthere will be 33 updates. Well see if it can average 5000 per update
  11. You really need to learn some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor

    Son, I know my history quite well in fact as exemplified in this threadYou need to brush up on your movie history. Animal House is one of the funniest and most successful comedies of all time (top 5 adjusted). Its quoted frequently. Hint: the sentence was in quotation marks.Bluto: Hey! What's all this laying around stuff? Why are you all still laying around here for?Stork: What the hell are we supposed to do, ya moron? We're all expelled. There's nothing to fight for anymore.D-Day: [to Bluto] Let it go. War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.Bluto: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!Otter: [to Boon] Germans?Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...[thinks hard of something to say]Bluto: The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!http://youtu.be/q7vtWB4owdEWatch the clip, get inspired dammit.This run is not over until we say its over! Who's with me? Write these bastards! We'll win no matter the cost of of many live!Write Bob Iger, Dave Hollis, corporate and Disney himself! Here is some history, he had himself Frozen so he could come back to life in the future. Maybe Anna will defrost him and he'll put a stop to the dvd release.I actually thought that was true since I was a kid in the 70s. Hard know what was urban legend or not before the internet.

Never say never; all of the above! DOM beatThats about it for now. No more lock raising until mid summer, however, the floor and ceiling could rise. It can have few decent declines but I think we are seeing something unprecedented and it will hold 90-95% many of the weeks and take it deep into the 300s. 

  13. It's down 8% from a deflated Saturday. It has to pick up in the evening to possibly remain close to a 7M weekend. Hard when late showings keep getting weaker and weaker.

    Numbers trickling in now. Down 10% but it could get to down 8% with two late hours to go. evenings aren't what they used to be but the week may hold 100+%. we may get a surprise tomorrow.*1 *72132 アナと雪の女王*2 *31341 X-MEN:フューチャー&パスト*3 *19461 MONSTERZ モンスターズ

    Could Saturday be deflated due to tomorrow's discount. Because it looks a bit disappointing.

    thats what I was thinking.were going to need a 35% pop in admissions tomorrow over last sun to make up today's short fall and over come the discount to get to 7m.Today maybe 2.7mFor 4.3m tomorrow we need.Toho 70kTMK1 135kits possible w so many presale selloutsfor 4.8m sun 7.5m weekendtoho 78.4kTMK1 151kalso possible.

  15. It seems there's significantly less theater capacity in Japan. Despite being a bit over 1/3rd the population of the US + Canada, it seems like the widest releases only get to about 1/6th the number of theaters, give or take. I believe TASM1 was an exception which somehow managed to get into 1000 theaters, but that's still under a fourth of the biggest DOM openings.

    spidey had 1000screens. In the US you can have4000 theaters, 10000 screens. You have HMC at 13m opening but thats just 1,000,000 admissions. Avengers at $9 p ticket and was 22m admissions. 7x per capita
  16. So is there a reason Frozen seems to refuse to drop weekly? Is it same people just seeing it over and over again every week? :blink:

    they dont have large opening weekends and their annual admissions are lower per capita than other countries.this a constant wave of WOM spreading to non movie goers who are spreading to others and they dont have the capacity to burn off 50m+ for one movie like they do in the US. It spreads out in a steady flow. Im sure repeat viewings play a part as well.
  17. *Weekdays [ Mon-Friday ]

     

    wk-6.....616m yen

    wk-7.....610m yen

    wk-10....644m yen

    wk-11....614m yen

    This Wk..620m-630m yen ( mon-thu actual... 533m yen ($5.2m) + 90-95m yen [Friday *est] )

    somebody needs to show and explain these numbers to disney. They have to have a rainman number cruncher that would have a light bulb moment.

    The presales at a glance look like a weekend bump. Another weekend over 13m. There isnt another movie that has held like this in history when comparing the proper proportionality of opening weekend, weekly decline, population etc...

    Who has access to varietyinsight.com ? Maybe someone can search for "Dave Hollis," Disney distribution exec's mentioned in this article. Seems that the website might have his contact information. Or someone might have other way to find his contact information?I messaged the consumer board of thewaltdisneycompany site, but I don't know how effective that may be. If some articulate one can email him personally (without a colorful language of "blowing" ;) maybe a few exec minds can be changed.

    Hey thats a low blow, pun intended. Subers is an idiot, I cant help my self. I wrote a proper email to disney though it would be good if someone more eloquent than I wrote the distro guy. I suck at writing. Im a number cruncher.
