SK Daily Box office (04/30)
The Fatal Encounter delivers the biggest OD of 2014. Expect good numbers throughout the holidays.
The Target's opening was less than impressive. All the buzz went to The fatal encounter and seems to have killed this film.
TASM2 held well against competition from new releases, almost staying flat over yesterday. Overall admissions are down -7.5% compared to TASM having played a day more.
CA: TWS drops -48.2% compared to LW. It's crawling towards 4m admissions

Midterms ended today so I caught a late viewing of The fatal encounter. I'd like to share some of my thoughts on the film.
-It's long (135 minutes). It feels long too, which is the bigger problem. There were a lot of flashing smartphone lights around me from people checking the time.
-The plot is too convoluted. The story keeps switching back and forth from different times and it can be difficult to follow. It kills the tension building up too.
-Some great acting from the cast, especially Hyun-bin and Jung Jae-young. They truly carried the film.
Overall I'd give it a B. Good acting, interesting theme but overall poor script and direction. I'd hesitate to call it a failure but I don't think it's one of those films people will want to go back and see more of. Definitely no where near as satisfying as miss granny was which is disappointing. Naver ratings (6.93/10) generally reflect this. People will still go to see this to see the actors though.

The frozen love on this forum isn't as bad as some of the crazy arguments I've seen many here indulging in over comic book films. The frozen threads are one of the cleanest on this forum and thats a fact.

Looks like GW wasn't in full effect today. Disappointing but not surprised.

SK=South Korea. Films are still relatively cheap here thankfully, especially if you have member discount benefits.^^^^Cool. It adds variety to one's passage. Where is SK, I only wish for $7 films to return.

SK Daily Box Office (04/29)
TASM2 drops -30.3% compared to TASM's admission on the same day. It will pass the 2M admissions mark by thursday. Captain america meanwhile reclaimed 2nd spot over broken, squeezing past 3.9M admissions total in the process.
Holidays are coming up in South Korea, lasting up to 6 days depending on whether you take a day off from work on friday (many do). It starts on thursday this week and ends on tuesday next week. It's really good period for movies in general, and Spider-man and The fatal encounter especially really must take full advantage of it.
The fatal encounter's presales are huge at the moment and all signs point to a massive OD
Presales top 4 (Accounting for 92.9% of presales)
1. The Fatal encounter: 151,526 (58.6%)
2. TASM2: 48,187 (18.6%)
3. The Target: 27,662 (10.7%)
4. Rio 2: 14,126 (5.5%)

I got better things to do with $10 than to spend it with the intent to just see the trailer.
Especially considering it's likely to play in front of a movie at some point that I would be seeing anyway.
Waste of money imo.
What Neo said, and I'm interested in both films so I'd be killing 2 birds with one stone.
Also movies are $7 where I'm from so not at all odd.
I can underline and put it in italics too.

Why pay $10 to see a trailer that'll just be online days after? Odd.

No, the system said they modified the programto avoid future mistake. But what was missing can not be retrieved. So this is a crazy day..
So there's a good chance today is the highest Toho admissions day so far but we'll never know for sure....
-
Not bad. What is Frozen's biggest day so far in Toho.
Wednesday of the third week- 83765 admissions. second highest is Sunday of the same week with 80440 admissions
-
Does that figure for frozen include the missing numbers from earlier in the afternoon?
-
Ok I agree with all that, but the does or doesn't boy-centric marketing work isn't the main question here is it? The more important point here is whether or not disney thinks that it works and based on the trailers for the past few films and their success they'll be inclined to think that it does,and they'll probably do the same for the next female-centered film. Why would they market any differently than they did for frozen and tangled?

I laugh so hard when I see your avatarIf Frozen doesn't increase its seat count, I'll kill someone.Word of Blondie Keanu!

Problem is, it seems to be working for them especially for princess themed films. It's a problem but I don't see them changing a winning formulaRightly so. It reflects a pretty severe problem of constantly catering to boys over girls. It is a discussion that needs to be had.
-
In China too?April 29th, May 3rd -5th are holidays, but most people are off too on 4.30-5.2.
-
Amazing! So a chance it could be biggest single day ever ahead of even ladies day during spring break. When the correct numbers are released you should update your tableGood news.The toho system is crashed probablybecause too many people buy the tickets.So, many shows data are missed...48 frozen shows are missed with 15 from toho so the real admissions should be close to at least 45000
-
Third biggest 14:30 weekday from Toho the two above it are ladies days too. Surprisingly only one weekend day (saturday of 3rd week seems to be higher)Definately need more seats and showtimes!!
-
Tbh I'd be satisfied with WiR level good from this with hopefully a little more action

Can we expect a trailer with maleficent? Or maybe HTTYD2? I'd go to see either just for that.

Corpse (WoKJ):
Weekend Ranking [04/26-27]
01 (01) Frozen (Disney) Week 7
02 (--) Thermae Romae II (Toho) DEBUT
03 (02) Detective Conan: The Sniper from Another Dimension (Toho) Week 2
04 (--) The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Sony) DEBUT
05 (--) Partners the Movie 3 (Toei) DEBUT
06 (03) Crayon Shin-chan: Serious Battle! Robot Dad Strikes (Toho) Week 2
07 (05) Crows: Explode (Toho) Week 3
08 (04) Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Disney) Week 2
09 (06) L-DK (Toei) Week 3
10 (07) Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai (Toei) Week 5
Estimates were high on everything except Spider-Man this weekend (very high avg. ticket price for that one).
>Frozen actually had its biggest drop yet of... 9.5%. It earned ¥772,180,200 ($7.5 million) with 566,750 admissions over the weekend. This is the first time it has dropped below ¥800 million ($8 million) since it opened, but it is still slightly above the opening (though this is its lowest weekend in admissions).
The 7-week cume is now ¥12.11 billion ($118.4 million) with 9.73 million admissions, making it the 16th-biggest film of all-time now with way more left in the tank as it'll likely crack the Top 10 All-Time after next weekend.
>Thermae Romae II may have placed second over the weekend, but it actually trailed Detective Conan's second weekend in admissions. The sequel saw a 13% increase over its predecessor and grossed ¥491,342,950 ($4.8 million) with 365,356 admissions on 434 screens. It's annoying that it got so close to ¥500 million, but the opening is still fairly impressive and should get it to ¥3.5 billion ($35 million), or maybe ¥4 billion ($40 million).
>The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was the only film not to be overestimated largely due to high avg. ticket price of ¥1,541 ($15.1). It didn't open too bad actually, taking in ¥420,297,900 ($4.1 million) with 272,709 admissions on 761 screens. It's still down 28% compared to the first film's opening weekend, but it should have better legs with the Golden Week boost and less competition later into its run.
The opening is very comparable to Iron Man 3's (¥414 million) this very weekend last year, and it managed to make it to ¥2.5 billion ($25 million), so this should as well. That's still about a 20% dip (15% at best) from the original's total though, but it was looking worse during the weekend.
>Partners the Movie 3 debuted with ¥274,548,100 ($2.6 million) with 212,534 admissions on 334 screens. The opening is 2% better then the previous film, but that one opened on a Wednesday deflating its weekend gross so this isn't that good. Legs will be strong though, and it shoud have little trouble reaching a respectable ¥2-2.5 billion ($20-25 million). -
How much Rio 2 can do?
Maybe $5-10m if it's lucky.Don't be surprised if it does less though, blue sky studio animation isn't all that popular here.
Rio did $4.3m, all the ice age films did $5-10M so I'd say that's the range.
