    Where did you get $86m? The highest grossing (and most attended) Doraemon film was last year's with $43.2m. Also, Frozen won't do Miyazaki numbers (but I can see The Wind Rises as the ceiling). Even if it does, it will do it not because of zero competition. Due to how leggy Japanese market is, Movies that make Miyazaki numbers will do it in a span of several months. During that time, there will be competitions no matter what.

     

    Unless wiki is lying this one did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doraemon:_Nobita%27s_Great_Battle_of_the_Mermaid_King

    Ok It's actually $83m I must have mistyped it.

     

    I guess we'll see how well frozen does. everything is speculation at this point.

    The Saturday number may not be huge, but it's an impressively massive increase from Thursday, over 4.36x more.

     

    The nucleus of frozen's audience is still families. With kids back at school now, weekday admissions are hit really hard, more so than films of other genres. It's still got some life left on weekends though :) Here's to hoping it still has one or two similar weekends left in the tank! 

    300 Rise of An Empire (2014)

    in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)

    Posted

    The original was the better film for me. It had more iconic battle scenes and lines (this is spartaaaa!!! still gets to me :) )

    Having said that I really enjoyed 300: RoaE  and more so than I'd imagined I would. The plot in itself was pretty pointless. I mean it's great that the Athenians fought as well as they did but in the end it's (predictably) the Spartans who have to bail them out and win the war (did anyone think there was going to be any other outcome?)

     

    Eva green's stellar performance was the difference between good and bust for me. I could literally feel the bloodlust and hate radiating from her eyes at times.

    Frozen moves into its 51st day in SK. 

    Daily admission: 42,346 down -57% from last saturay.

    total admissions are 10.1m and total gross is $76.63M (5th highest gross of all time in korean won-unadjusted for inflation)

     

    With winter break ending this week admission numbers were hit hard across the board and frozen was no exception. It was pushed to 7th with new releases 300:RoaE, Diana and dallas buyers club taking frozen's screens. Sing-along had little to no impact, due in large to the lame advertising effort by disney korea.

     

    Frozen moved back up to take 5th spot on saturday and looks set to take keep that spot for the weekend. Frozen's daily numbers aren't that big now but it's legs are still great. It has never placed outside of top10 during it's run  :)

    for rysu..

     

    I am convinced that you will be satisfied in a few weeks ....... 

    but:

     

    original animated movies in billion club: 1

    original animated movies in top 50 WW: 1 (The Lion King and Finding Nemo re-released)

    original animated movies in top 51-100 WW: 10

     

    I do not think a little thing

     

     

    Yeah didn't mean to imply it was little or unimportant. All of frozen's achievements have been just amazing and the fact that we're quibbling over which title is the best is just one more testimony of the success frozen has had  :D

     

    What I was trying to say was that I personally think highest grossing animation film is the more impressive title. nothing more nothing less.

    It's true, a number of factors contributed to its sudden loss of momentum

     

    1. the day it reached 10m admissions (sunday) was the last day of winter break. The following monday, movies across the board suffered huge drops in admission as a result. Frozen more so because it is targeted towards family sized audiences.

     

    2. New releases, mainly pompei, nonstop, 300 & 12YAS did/are doing better than expected

     

    3. Digital release on Korea's biggest portal site

     

    4. Pulled a lot of screens for sing along but sing along wasn't properly advertised

     

    5. It's been out for 50+ days. 

     

     

    Tbh I'm just glad it passed 10m admissions :)

    Frozen is almost dead unfortunately. It's unfortunate, Disney has a such small presence here(it had no success prior to frozen) so the sing-along was extremely under-advertised to the extent some people who went to watch put in complaints because they didn't know what sing along was (its a new format in korea) It was an exhilerating run but now it's time to let it go :D

    Argentina Box Office - Minions: first movie ever to do $35m+!!!

    Argentina:

     

    Very good OD for 300: Rise of an Empire!!! With 38020 tickets sold it took 55% of the market yesterday!! That's the second best OD for 2014!! It should do more than $1 M during its OW!!! 

     

     

    Also in Peru 300 did very well with 30299 admissions!! It also was number 1 in Bolivia. It didn't open in Chile yet, where with the kids at school and no important releases Thursday was pretty weak.

     

    Cool! Looks like 300 roae is doing well there :) what film had the highest OD in Argentina for 2014?

    Highest grossing original film of all time (Cameron excluded) is one hell of an achievement, in my opinion definitely more relevant than 'highest grossing animated film'. Of course, those two combined are even more amazing.

     

    (Cameron excluded) haha love how you put that in brackets :D That's a great title but I disagree on the irrelevancy(or less-relevant) of the "highest grossing animated film" title. Frozen is first and foremost an animated film so that should be the most important title in my opinion, even if other titles carry more weight to them.

    I don't know if you also have note this: frozen actually rank #18 WW but rank #4 WW for original releases:

     

    1 Avatar Fox $2,782.3 ORIGINAL 2 Titanic Par. $2,186.8 ORIGINAL 3 Marvel's The Avengers BV $1,518.6 FRANCHISE 4 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 WB $1,341.5 FRANCHISE 5 Iron Man 3 BV $1,215.4 SEQUEL 6 Transformers: Dark of the Moon P/DW $1,123.8 SEQUEL 7 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King NL $1,119.9 SEQUEL 8 Skyfall Sony $1,108.6 FRANCHISE 9 The Dark Knight Rises WB $1,084.4 SEQUEL 10 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest BV $1,066.2 SEQUEL 11 Toy Story 3 BV $1,063.2 SEQUEL 12 Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides BV $1,045.7 SEQUEL 13 Jurassic Park Uni. $1,029.2 RE-RELEASED 14 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Fox $1,027.0 PREQUEL 15 Alice in Wonderland (2010) BV $1,025.5 ORIGINAL 16 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey WB $1,017.0 PREQUEL 17 The Dark Knight WB $1,004.6 SEQUEL 18 Frozen BV $1,001.5 ORIGINAL

     

     

    Soon to be ranked #3 original film of all time :) personally I don't think that's one of its more impressive titles though. Highest grossing animated film & top 10 grossing film of all time has a nicer ring to it  :D

    Y'know, that actually sounds really cool. At the singalong I attended, I'm not sure anyone except my group of friends was singing along.

     

    I've kinda been hoping that Frozen becomes the new Rocky Horror Picture Show: At least in the US, weekly showings at various theaters throughout the country and people come and do re-enactments while the film is playing and have specific responses to certain lines.

     

    As awesome as that would be, I don't think frozen has enough of a cult appeal that RHPS seems to have. A re-release every winter would be excellent though! It's a great cinematic experience and I'm sure people would love it :)

     

     

    I never got to see it in 3D  :(

     

    3D really brings the snow in the movie to life :( I'm sorry you missed out on that

    Just came back from watching sing along in SK. There were some loons who kept repeating the words of the film as well as the songs(don't they get that it's a sing-along not a talk-along??) and quite a few people stood up during Elsa's cornoration(You know when the bishop says "all rise for queen elsa of arendelle") and one guy even ran up the steps when Elsa did her run up the stairs during let it go.

    Basically, movie ettiquette took a back seat for this film which was quite annoying and funny at the same time. Still overall I think I enjoyed the experience, but it's definately not something I'd do twice.

     

    I'm going to go see the 4D version for my fourth (and last) viewing tomorrow b4 they pull the screens which means I'll have completed a grand slam for frozen (2D, 3D, 4DX and sing-along) :D

    I just wish I knew Japanese so I could tell what they were saying about it. Hopefully there has been a lot of positive hype building over there the past few months  :)

    It must be a hot issue over there to be t.v broadcast worthy. We had nothing like that leading up to it's release in south korea! Of course Frozen wasn't a fullblown worldwide phenomenon then either :D wish we had some Japanese people on here to give us a sense of the hype

    I think a lot of people (myself included) got a little carried away with frozen's box office performance, it was never going to do avatar numbers here. The vast number of illegal downloads before and during frozen's BO run and the early release of the downloadable version by disney pretty much saw to that.

     

    still, considering it is a foreign film and an animation to boot (unpopular genre in SK) makes it hard to be anything but amazed at it's performace :D 

    I'd even argue that considering it's handicaps, it is SK's most impressive box office performace ever. It quadrupled everyone's expectations in style B)

    Yes, I download it from one of the biggest movie distributors MegaBox website.

    I said it's not being advertised. Putting a poster up on a movie distribution site isn't advertising. Also that poster doesn't say anything about sing along.
