[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

lol.  No.  He is a hater.  WIsh he would just come right out and admit that he wanted Frozen to fail in its efforts to topple Spirited Away.  Now, all of a sudden, in the 12th hour, he somehow finds a way to make it even more difficult for Frozen to beat SA's dollar record.

Doraemon will 'soon' (6-7 years) have more admissions than the entire population of Japan. Pretty crazy.

Someone in this forum said that the DVD market in Japan is not that great, definitely lower than in North America, so the impact should be lower. If japaneses buy few discs, because this should be more impact than in other countries? Other, it seems that Frozen is beating SA opening weekend multiplier, this means that it had reach the highest level of exploitation of the potential audience ever seen.

 

The rental market is still well alive in Japan.

Japan's next matches are, local time, on the 20th (friday) and the 25th (wednesday). I think next weekend it could stay flat if not increase a bit.

How do you say 'bullshit' in Japanese?

 

糞 which is pronounced kuso.

There is no such thing as a democratic country, nowhere in the world.

But I do agree that some are less democratic than others.

 

Switzerland is democratic, or as reasonably close as you can get.

Looks like it. Bless Japan and their flawless taste.

Frozen doesnt  deserve to beat Avatar I, no worries Juggernaut 2 is going to blow Frozen away bigtime...Im expecting 250-300+M in JApan and over 450M in CHina for  Juggernaut 2016. Lets see Frozen or Frozen 2 hang with that

 

No way. I would even be surprised if Avatar 2 did as well as Avatar in Japan. It likely won't have both the favorable exchange rate and the very high 3D share (3D has declined in Japan since then) that the first one had. 

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

Great numbers. Sure, it's a double digit decrease but it follows last weekend's increase.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

Toho - Saturday :

 

44.460 (-14.5%)

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

After an increase last weekend, anything below a 20% drop would still be fine provided that it doesn't continue to have such drops in the upcoming weekends.

Please pass DH2

And 'The Avengers' OS too.

I understand the dollar total is important for Frozen to beat IM3 worldwide and become the #1 film of 2013 but really at the end of the day, it's the yen total that matters imo.

 

And yes, changing the dollar total almost every week because of evolutions in the exchange rate is completely idiotic.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

Isn't tomorrow a Toho discount day ? In that case beating last wednesday shouldn't be a suprise.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

Obviously you were just not sexy enough for a 40% bump.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

That's a bit disappointing : only an 11-12% increase compared to saturday.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

Yeah, I think it's a bit too early for that. The next weekend will be the ultimate decider : if it drops in the single digits again, or barely above 10%, then we'll be looking at really really big numbers, however if it has another drop above 20% or more than Corpse's scenario could well happen.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

70k Toho would mean a saturday-sunday increase of almost 40%. That's a bit too ambitious.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

Toho : 50,503

 

It was 56,099 on saturday the 26th, 56,681 on saturday the 19th. So down around 11% from those two weekends and down 39% compared to last saturday.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

Spirited Away's 9th weekend was 650 million yen. That's probably the record.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

Are singalong tickets as or more expensive than 2D ? 3D ?

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

They did get tired of Godzilla eventually.

 

That's true. It only took about half a century.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

It's the 18th movie in the series based on a Japanese manga/anime, Detective Conan.

 

I love all the movies, and this one in particular looks really good. It's a mix of mystery, thriller, action with comedy and romance here and there.

 

The japanese really never get tired of their own franchises : 18th movie for Conan, 17th movie for Pokemon, 35th (!!!) movie for Doraemon, and yet they keep pulling in the same numbers, sometimes even improving them. I can't imagine any other country where fatigue wouldn't have set in by now with such a fast pace in the releases.

[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

I don't think competition is the issue here, just the nature of the japanese boxoffice itself : may (except Golden Week) and June are almost always among the weakest months of the year. The question is whether Frozen will follow the trend of the other movies (-50%), have a limited drop like some movies do it (-30-35% like Thermae Romae in 2012) or have an incredibly limited drop (-15-20%). I think the second option is the most likely, but who knows ? And then, there's the strengh of the weekdays too...
