    I hope this doesn't mean Japan will increasingly start folllowing the 3D trend.

    Local currency works well for Japan because ticket prices have stayed almost the same for decades, except for a tax hike a few months ago, but otherwise admissions is the way to go imo, especially when comparing films from different eras. I will never understand why the movie industry is the only major industry in the entertainement world that goes by gross. Music sales, video games, books, comics (or mangas in Japan), home video etc, they all go by the amounts sold. Makes far more sense to me. In fact Japan does it.

    In 2011 one dollar was about 80 yen, now one dollar is over 100 yen so obviously the dollar totals have all decreased quite noticeably. For example with a 400 million yen opening in 2014 you'll get around $3.9 million when you would get $5 million for the same opening 3 years ago. If Frozen was released in Japan in 2011/2012, it would have reached $300 million with no problem.

    63,342 at Toho today. That's 114,523 for the weekend which is very close to the 113,873 which the march multiplier gave yesterday.
  5. Cynosure
    This is just...can't find the word to describe it. It almost makes Frozen's run in Japan look ordinary.
  6. Cynosure
    I see. The multipliers will probably not be as good as the usual Doraemon movie with this one attracting more adults but it's surely going to be close.
  7. Cynosure
    51,181 at Toho for Doraemon. Using the multipliers of the movie which came out in march would give us 113,873 for the weekend at Toho and 637,689 admissions overall. That would still be less admissions than Conan's 18th movie...Will it have a higher average ticket price because of the 3D ?
  8. Cynosure
    Hopefully 'Transformers' does even less than your forecast. That seems a bit low for Doraemon. I was expecting a franchise record for the opening. Guess the friday release obviously made that impossible.

    Almost a fifth of the country's population in 11 days. Madness.
  10. Cynosure
    ^ Basically. Because of a strong economy, a population of several hundred million people and a fairly significant movie-going culture, the US were able to make more money from their local market than any other country in the world allowing them via reinvestment to make movies which they are the only ones capable of producing. In a few decades a country like China will probably be able to produce them as well but they will always lack the western culture roots of the US, western culture which has been the dominant cultural force of the world for several centuries now.

    I see, thanks for that. Doraemon's friday at Toho was almost as big as Rurouni Kenshin's saturday.
  12. Cynosure
    A 1 billion yen opening weekend perhaps ? Why are they releasing on a friday btw ?
  13. Cynosure
    Japan just doesn't like Dreamworks, for some reason.
  14. Cynosure
    Corpse, do you have the imported/local shares ? With Frozen being such a huge success, I was wondering if imported films might get over 50% for the first time in almost a decade.
  15. Cynosure
    Wednesday is Ladies' Day (discount for women) and Godzilla is probably attracting more men compared to Malificient or Marnie hence a smaller effect. Wait for tomorrow's numbers before being so pessimistic.
  16. Cynosure
    Why is Godzilla's average ticket price so high ? Just marginally below 1.500 yen per ticket.
  17. Cynosure
    61% drop for Pokemon. Could this become the lowest grossing movie of the franchise ? Or maybe solely the least attended thanks to the tax hike.
  18. Cynosure
    Apparently 'Frozen' also sold 32,249 copies of a 'Frozen MovieNEX Plus 3D (Limited Online Pre-Order Release)' edition so its one week tally is even higher than what you've mentioned. It's still third of all time though for like a thousand copies. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-07-22/japan-animation-blu-ray-disc-ranking-july-14-20/.76915 We also have Spirited Away's Blu-ray release : 9,560 copies sold.
  19. Cynosure
    This. In fact I wish China was more like Japan in terms of Box office.
  20. Cynosure
    ^ Because the Japanese rank by admissions.
  21. Cynosure
    That's Pokemon's lowest opening weekend since 2002 both in gross and admissions.
  22. Cynosure
    ^ In 2011 the average price was 6.33€ (about $8.5). The median is just below 6€. There's some extra data (in french) on Wikipedia : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prix_de_la_place_de_cin%C3%A9ma_en_France
  23. Cynosure
    Frozen : ¥24.88 billion Other WDAS movies since 1980 with a gross superior to 1 billion (Lion King, Dinosaur, Little Mermaid etc.) : ¥39.78 billion That's over 38% for Frozen alone...Maybe close to 40% by the end of its run ?
  24. Cynosure
    For some reason children movies like Pokemon and Doraemon just seem to do better at Aeon compared to Toho. Last year Pokemon was beaten in admissions by Monsters University at Toho but not at Aeon.
  25. Cynosure
    In gross, yes. In admissions, unlikely but still possible.
