Is Japan the only market where it won't debut at #1 a la Furious 7 ? Or are there other less known markets where that will happen ?

CW's saturday in Japan (per Corpse) :
45% behind Avengers: Age of Ultron
17% ahead of The Amazing Spider-Man 2
12% ahead of Batman vs Superman: Dawn of JusticeUsing these three comparisons, we get an early weekend range of ~¥425-475 million for Captain America: Civil War. This range also puts it a bit higher than Iron Man 3 (¥414 million), but also a little below The Amazing Spider-Man (¥580 million) and The Avengers (¥500 million).
And needless to say, the opening will be above the previous Captain America films by enormous margins (maybe over 500% higher than the first film; and over 200% higher than the second). The solo MCU films, Iron Man 3 aside, have all be big disappointments in the market.

In Japan it brought in $2.8 million, more than double Iron Man 3 and not comparable to Ultron, which opened on a Saturday.
Mojo...
IM3's opening friday wasn't a holiday unlike CW's friday. They mention how you can't compare CW's friday to Ultron's saturday but go on to make an even more absurd comparison (holiday friday is bigger than saturday in Japan).

We'll know for sure when we get its post-GW weekend drop next weekend.

I think Zootopia has a good chance at getting the#1 spot next weekend. Conan usually falls pretty hard after Golden Week and superhero movies are among the most frontloaded in the market.
-
As of 8 pm (local time) - 2/3 of the market100,460 Conan*99,486 Zootopia*73,511 Civil WarAs usual, Zootopia lost its lead because of its weak evening business. Conan should now extend its lead on Zootopia for the rest of the evening and Civil War should start catching up on Zootopia and Conan.

Genuinely surprised. That lead is just getting bigger and bigger.
It needs to build a bigger lead before the afternoon and the evening sessions start if it wants to keep first place for the day.

Zootopia and Conan up 50% and 15% over last saturday respectively.

Like IM3 but not like Ultron. The latter opened with nearly 800 million yen for the 2 day weekend and it's not touching that.

Kids and their parents. Movies that play strong among the kid demographic always have strong mornings.

^ That third one is Crayon Shin-chan. CA3 (シビル・ウォー キャプテン・アメリカ) is at 10,447.

10 am (local time) - 2/3 of the market (% compared to Friday at same time)
Conan - 12.135 (down 26%)
Zootopia - 11.151 (down 21.5%)
Civil War - 8.399 (down 53.5%)
Zootopia holding the best, CW falling the most. As expected.
Zootopia and Conan are both up slightly compared to last saturday at the same time, which is pretty impressive considering this saturday isn't a holiday.

And that's it. A very close race for the top spot, and the first day of Golden Week probably saw two different winners.
Detective Conan managed to hang onto its #1 position once again, in terms of admissions, but it may have slipped to second place in terms of gross since Captain America's avg. ticket price will be notably higher. Weekday actuals are very rarely reported, so we'll probably never know for sure if there were split winners today, but I'll provide some Friday estimates after this post.
And overall, a very strong start to the Golden Week holiday period.
Terra Formars is the only real disappointment among the Top 10. Its pre-sales represented an unhealthy amount of its ticket sales, and its sales throughout the day were lackluster. The good news is that it has most of Golden Week left, so plenty chances of recovering, but based on Saturday's pre-sales... it's not looking likely.Golden Week: 2016 - Daily Estimates

Well, maybe Disney didn't do their research. Or maybe they did their research and they decided it wouldn't be so bad.
Besides, July is for Alice 2 and Finding Dory. Zootopia has to go somewhere, and Disney had to choose a time between February and June.Ah, yes, good point. I guess they've never had such a busy schedule animation wise in nearly 2 decades (with Moana taking the New Year period).
-
Did you know that Zootopia is the first non Detective Conan/Shin-chan animated movie to be released just prior to Golden Week since at least 1998 (Frozen was huge during GW but was released in March) ? I wonder why Disney picked that period when they could have waited for summer which generally provides slightly better legs.
-
Well it doesn't because theater owners have identified the demographic.
Though it's never too late for a change I suppose.

Just now, cannastop said:
Zootopia has the potential to really catch on with the older demographic. Lots of commentators on Yahoo movies remark about how mature of a movie it is.
It has the potential, but its performance today shows it hasn't really happened yet. Its evenings remain very weak.

It was acting the same on the other weekdays too.
Ah, I see. What about children (i.e. under age 18)? Do they typically only watch movies during the weekends? And is Conan's strength later in the day because it has more showings in the afternoon or because it's more male-oriented and gets more of the after-work male demographic?
I would think so, yes, since they have school during weekdays.
Conan is slightly more female-oriented (about 60-40% female on weekends) with a majority of its viewers being adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s. That's why it's stronger in the evening than more children oriented franchises like Doraemon, Yôkai-Watch and Pokemon which attract mainly kids and their parents.

I'm comparing it to Maoyan's numbers for the Chinese market. There, family movies like Zootopia start weekdays extremely slowly, then pick up strength in the afternoons and evenings when adults get off work and kids get off school. I feel like that should be the case in every country.
The Japanese get off work pretty late during the week. Most weekdays are driven by women (40% of japanese women don't work) who go see movies during the day.

I updated with the new numbers, the correct Conan price and I used the percentages the seats represent for each movie based on the seating/showtime numbers :

All three movies should fall on Saturday. CW probably the hardest since the rush factor, even in Japan, will have been bigger for it today compared to Zootopia and Conan.
