    72 million overseas is pretty much a poor performance for a movie with a budget of 144 million + 100 million spent for P&A. That's beyond pathetic.

     

    Remember, Fantastic Four made 111 million overseas. Yeah, that horrible FF reboot made 111 million overseas and it's basically confirmed that Ghostbusters won't be making 100 million overseas, unless it makes 40 million in Japan, which we both know it won't happen. That's a disaster.

     

    Its domestic numbers aren't the worst thing ever, but the numbers are disappointing regardless. 

    It doesn't need 40m in Japan to get to 100m or more overseas. That's like saying it has stopped earning money in all the other markets it has been released. It probably has more than $10m or so left in its existing markets so It still has a chance in breaking 100m. After Japan, it still has Korea which could potentially add another $5m. If it makes more than 10m in Japan then 100m is already all but assured. The movie already made $1m(estimate) in previews in Japan.

  3. SS is decreasing again on it's pre-sales(SLOP is ahead of it now, currectly) so The Last Princess will most likely top the weekend now in both Admissions and box office gross with SS most likely earning third. 

     

    pre-sales(admissions):

    TLP: 185,272

    Chromite: 148, 162

    SLOP: 127, 904

    Well, it's a very small release, so I don't know what you can expect. Overall, I'd say no, just by going by the latest data.

    I mean for a movie released only in a handful of theatres, It's also not doing well? Hmm. Well hopefully they give it a wide release eventually, considering it seems to be continuously getting rave reviews(specially for a movie based on a video game).

    Jurassic World actually managed a second weekend increase, and even if this weekend was boosted by this year's Obon Festival, it's a mighty accomplishment considering how well it opened last week.

    According to weekend estimates, the Top 10 delivered the 7th Biggest Weekend of All-Time, just after last weekend delivered the 4th Biggest Weekend of All-Time.

    It's also the Biggest Weekend of All-Time without any new openers (the Frozen lead weekend on the list had two openers make the Top 10).

    And that's not all. This weekend makes the FOURTH weekend in the past 9 months that's crack the Top 10 below:

    Biggest All-Time Weekends (Top 10 Films) [1998-]

    01. ¥3.601 billion - 07/09-10/2005 (#1 Film - Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith)

    2015 has been an incredibly strong year at the Japanese Box Office. There hasn't been an uber-blockbuster released, but most films are breaking out and exceeding expectations. There have been dozens of various records broken.

    Before this crazy summer began (end of June), the year was only down 8% from last year. It's likely to close that gap, or end up ahead of last year by the end of August. If Fall of this year delivers in the same manner, 2015 could challenge 2010 as the biggest year of all-time.

    Actuals have already been released. JW gets 7.6m(35.1 total).

    Last Weekend's Top 10 was the 4th Biggest Weekend of All-Time, and the same films are looking to make a play at the Top 10 Biggest Weekends of All-Time once again this week.

    If this weekend does indeed crack the Top 10, it'll be the fourth weekend in the past 9 months to make the Top 10. Three weekends making the Top 10 list in the last 9 months is impressive enough, but four would be an incredible accomplishment.

    Jurassic World will see a minimal second weekend drop, likely under 10%. I would project a potential increase, but it opened so high that I think only a drop can happen. Now, if Saturday/Sunday had been either the 13th/14th, generally the biggest days of Obon Festival, a second weekend increase would have been very likely.

    All the films that are attracting families/children (MinionsInside Out), teens/students (The Boy and the Beast), or businessmen/seniors (Hero 2Japan's Longest Day) should experience weekend increase or very minuscule drops. 

    This is only one of three times every year that all schools and many businesses are closed at the same time. 

    Boruto will still see a sharp drop, since it's a frontloaded franchise in its second week, and Kamen Rider always drops around 50% in its second weekend, no matter there being a major holiday going on or not.

     

    Nah, I don't think JW will drop, it'll most likely get a higher 2nd weekend.
