I assume you mean Golden Week, rather than Obon. The latter seems like it's a bit too far in the future.

If the part I've highlighted is typical of all theaters, and if the same portion of the seats actually sell, we'd be looking at a ~$9M opening weekend. I don't know how accurate those assumptions are, or how the Friday opening will affect things.

In other words, it's working with a fixed potential audience. The big Doraemon fans would have seen it no matter what, and the moderate fans are seeing it because they've heard this one's good. It's not actually competing for audience share, so is unlikely to have a big effect on anything else.

My all-time favorite use of 3D would have to be Coraline. Stereoscopic 3D combined with forced perspective can have very interesting results. Frozen's 3D (which was available only the first time I watched it) was nice, but I don't feel like I'm missing anything in 2D.

I was looking forward to this movie, right up until I read this.

None at all. It's only available in the US iTunes store.

Fun movie, and worth seeing in theaters - once. Any rewatching should be done on video, where you can pause to look at details.

To put things in perspective for Japan: In all of history, 25 movies have made over $100M there. (Unadjusted gross in yen, converted at today's exchange rate). 9 have made over $150M. 2 have made over $200M. One of those is Titanic, at $256M. The other is Spirited Away, at $297M. Unless you're predicting that it will do even more spectacularly well in Japan than anywhere else in the world, 100-150M should be the top of your range.
