China Film Insider: As predicted, Japanese anime Your Name scored its second straight weekend victory at the Chinese box office, grossing RMB 106.6 million (US$15.4 million) and sending its 10-day total to an impressive RMB 492 million ($71.2 million). Sometime next weekend, Your Name will become the highest-grossing Japanese film ever in China, surpassing Stand By Me Doraemon (RMB 530 million).

Screendaily In its third weekend, Moana sailed to an extra $23.5m from its 32 territories for $93.8m so far overseas and $238.8m globally. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ latest posted an overall drop-off of 31% from last weekend, with the likes of France ($11.5m to date), the UK ($6m to date), China ($26.2m to date) and Mexico ($6.2m to date) enjoying strong holds. Moana remained at number one in France, Spain, Russia, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela, among others. Its next major releases come in Germany and Italy on December 22. Uk number: lw was 3M$, so only 3M$ in the entire week? or 6M$ is this week total?

So Moana fell 32% on its first tuesday when Frozen was flat. However the difference between the two movies is still only 10%. Giving the same run until week 4 , we should have 160MO-180Fr, then giving a -40/50% for the Polynesian in the rest of the run (when Anna&Elsa went crazy), we will have a final total of 270/290M that isn't so bad.

So finally is clear what "equal to Frozen" means, in fact according to Allocine Anna&Elsa have collected 1,04M admissions in OW including previews (with a total near 5M). This year Zootopia opened with 1,55M and ended at 4,7M - Dory 1M/3,4M http://www.allocine.fr/boxoffice/france/sem-2013-12-04/

Your Name (Japan 2016) IMDB page Release date info English site After the successful Chinese release is almost certain that Your Name will become the highest grossing anime movie ever worldwide. In fact, correct me if i'm in wrong, Spirited Away still leads with 274,92M$ (BOM page) while the Makoto Shinkai's masterpiece has collected 243,1M$ as at Sunday 12/04 according to ComScore/Rentrak, but is playing in seven market including China and Japan and others are coming soon in Asia and Europe. So I think is time that it has its own movie thread.

Moana, at the moment, is doing "normal" (it's a bit behind Frozen, that had a "normal" run until week 4), if it will do "well" or "very well" we will know in next weeks. Frozen maybe has some simple concepts in its story that are recognizable all over the world.

Perfect analysis. Add to this what I said about the internal competiton with the first Disney's latina princess.

Regarding promotion problems, don't forget that maybe for the first time a leading character of a Princess movie isn't the Disney's most important new brand for girls in Christmas season, as Moana is overshadowed by DCH's Princess Elena of Avalor in merchandising and licensing programs.

It seems Europe don't love Moana at all. It is well under Tangled everywhere. I Think Asia/Pacific saves her (despite China is a bit disappointing by now) from a Good Dinosaur/like OS run.

Frozen 2 was officially announced in March 2015. After Iger said that Disney stocks rises over 4% in a day and so did Mattel (at that time official licensor of Frozen products). http://fortune.com/2015/03/12/disney-frozen-star-wars/ So if someone knew in advance an information like this could be ... insider trading.

This site https://piaofang.wepiao.com seems to be in "real" realtime (updated every few seconds) Are that numbers "real" or just a fake? (last saturday daily total are very similar to the actuals posted here)

It seems Moana (called Vaiana there) opens at #1 in France, but we don't know the numbers.

Civil War combined opening (in $) + 70% vs TWS and + 75% vs Avengers 2 but under GotG (that however had its opening in Christmas time). 2nd biggest in 2016 behind TFA.

but the real reason that sparked the craze has been the almost total lack of related item for sale in front of the huge demand in spring and summer 2014 (maybe created by some marketing genius)

Yes, and in a worldwide view much much more.

Maybe their movie tastes are finally changing for the better.
