If this materialises, it's going to become increasingly complicated for France, the UK and Russia to justify their permanent member seats at the UN security council.

why do u think so??
No plot (unlike last year's movie) and not a crossover with another franchise (unlike DC vs Lupin).
-
Hahahaha, if this beats TA2 OS I'll die with happiness and as of now there's a really good chance it does.
I must admit I'd like to see people's reactions if it happens.

4.06 billion yen was last year's regular movie's gross. DC vs Lupin grossed around 4.2 billion yen and that was before the VTA increase in april 2014. Honestly, I'm not convinced it will top 4 billion yen this year.

"In China on Sunday, Furious 7 opened to $68.8 million, the biggest single-day gross in history for the world's second-largest market. It was also the biggest day ever in terms of attendance."
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/global-box-office-furious-7-788011
Deadline has the $8.05M of the midnights corresponding to 1.3M admissions. That would put the OD at around 11.2M admissions.
Per Uni, that is the highest box office, widest release and biggest attendance ever in one day for the Middle Kingdom. Midnight shows put $8M in the tank with 1.3M admissions at 10,397 dates.-

Just a time matter. We could see next Transformers, Avengers, Furious or Avatar sequels making over 500, 600 or who knows how much... The current WW list will be absolutely ridiculized in few years just for this since China will gross alone what big blockbusters have grossed until now in whole OS countries. In fact we should start to talk about DOM+OS+China figures instead just DOM+OS.
Indeed. In 10 years I think only 'Avatar' and maybe 'Titanic' will still be in the top 10 in the WW list.
-
That would be fucking awesome.
FF7 would beat DH2 WW with that total and my streak would remain in tact, if TA2 approaches 300M. I can't even imagine what the ceiling is in BO for China, Potentially 1B grosser???? 
Well Avatar did $760 million in the domestic market with a population almost 4 times inferior to China's so even taking into account ticket prices and the Chinese not being as big movie consumers as the Americans and the Canadians, $1b isn't that hard to imagine.
-
And even including previews, Canada being included in the domestic OD (around 10% of the population) means China probably had the biggest OD on a country-to-country basis.
Btw what's the average ticket price in China ?

I am sure we will see 100m OD in not too distant future.
By the end of the decade at the latest imo.

The following weekend. Golden Week will be very busy this year.

I think DBZ will open higher in gross especially since it has 4DX screenings increasing its average ticket price but I think Conan will end up with the higher total at the end of their runs. In admissions, I think Conan will be higher both for the opening weekend and the total.
-
Well in the meantime I'm looking forward to the 'Dragon Ball Z' vs 'Detective Conan' battle next weekend. Hard to say which movie will come out on top for the first weekend and overall.

If you think it's bad now, Goldman Sachs said they expect an exchange rate of about 1€ = $0.80 in 2017.That means euro zone grosses in $ could be almost divided by 2 compared to when the Euro peaked.

How does that compare to last year for Doraemon ?
-
I think Spring Break should push BH6 above 9b.
-
What kind of question is that ? Spirited Away, the highest grossing movie ever in Japan, grossed about a third of that sum.

FRI
Five Chains
9112 Fifty Shades (only 6% saturation on Toho)
7364 Ninja Turtles
6062 Mortdecai
4884 Mr. Children Ref.
4826 BH6
Japan once again proving its superior taste.
Corpse :
Fifty Shades of Grey is looking to disappoint in Japan. Its ticket sales so far today (Friday) is only suggesting, maybe, a ¥25 million ($200,000) opening day. If it doesn't see a spike in evening attendance, it'll be lucky to reach ¥100 million (less than $1 million) over the weekend frame (3rd/4th place debut).

I have faith...the french will not fall for this.
Oh, who am I kidding, the hordes of sheep will run in the theaters, as usual. Most of them probably haven't seen a good movie in their life and couldn't tell a Hitchcock from a Michael Bay.

Out of the four main anime movie series thus far, I'm sure Pokemon will gross the lowest. Every since the DP Golden Days, the movies have gone on a downward spiral in terms of gross.
Pokemon Hoopa movie: $25 - 30 million
Doraemon movie: $35 - 40 million
Yokai Watch movie: $50 - 55 million
Dragon Ball Z movie: $30 - 40 million
That's around a cumulative of $140 - 165 for the four main anime series in my opinion and that sum is quite a large one! I'm sure each franchise will have no problem passing $10 million or $20 million. Pokemon, unlike Yokai Watch has a larger older audience to work with and with the obvious appeal of the first trailer, I'm sure this will pass Diancie's gross. Yokai Watch might have already peaked with its first movie and I'm predicting a mild drop from the first movie's cumulative gross. Doraemon films are always high grossing films so it's without question that this film will gross a considerable amount of mullah. Dragon Ball Z is gaining some buzz with Frieza returning but for some, the new character design and obvious (maybe) rehash of the Frieza arc might displease some fans but nonetheless will be a huge film.
You forgot the 'Detective Conan' franchise in your list. It will probably gross around the same as Doraemon and Dragon Ball Z if not slightly more.

Tomorrow is the last day. Next weekend is a three day weekend though.

That's true. But I can't imagine 8-10 countries having a permanent seat and a veto right. Would just make the whole thing even more inefficient.
Since this is a box office thread : just imagine the grosses blockbusters could have when all countries have achieved their full economic potential.
