I see the chance of Bohemian reclaiming the top is higher if Love Live Sunshine underperform.
Bohemian up 112% from last's week, if the momentum keep on, this weekend maybe higher than any weekend before.
Looks more likely , the stat in yesterday is even outperform the original Love Live's Day 1 stat.
Ralph also have slight chance also overtake it too.
More worrisome stat I gathered, no sold out happened yet in major chain in Tokyo nor Namazu (that the current series taken place in) excluding the live viewings of stage greeting on day 1. (Original series did have multiple sold out in day 1 on pre-sale period). So I suspect if they can hit a 3m mark despite their cd sales looked well (helped by event lottery heavily however).
-
From things gathered in twitter, the pre-sale figure of Love Live Sunshine looked far less from its predecessor (though the original one started on Sat so hard to say a medicare debut yet but not looked good either)
A slight chance of either Bohemian or Ralph get this weekend's win?

*Monday's dailies are mostly actuals (A Star is Born and Nisekoi: False Love are still estimates).
% changes versus same day last week.
Note: During the pre-New Year's Week, or Christmas Week is you like, films targeting children and families benefit the most. Films that target an adult audience receive a slight boost, but are mostly unaffected since they still have work to attend. Then, during the actual New Year's Week, adult films see a substantial boost since their audience have some work-free days. Children/Family films do well during New Year's Week, too, but it's a more subdued boost.
Christmas Week = Stronger for Family/Children films.
New Year's Week = Stronger for Adult films.I would put doubt Ralph would hold the lead in new year week due to the existence of Love Live Sunshine, and more surprisingly no one mentioned up to now.
Even essentially not really a sequel of the Original series in 2015 (relationship betwen the two are something like FB and HP, or DBZ and DBP), consider the original series still managed a 400 million-ish in Day 1/2 and current group's Kouhaku performance few days before on screen. Really need some strong finish to beat it and their gift factor too (see page 49x-ish for what really had happened in BO for original series)

Weekend Actuals (10/14-15)
Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel Ch.1 delivered an excellent debut (the biggest since August), selling a very impressive 247,507 admissions over the weekend on only 128 screens. The first film in the trilogy sold nearly 45% of its available weekend admissions. I'm sure there'll be a certain degree of frontloading here, but a total over ¥2 billion (~$20 million) is very likely.
CORPSE
It also unseated Love Live!The School Idol Movie as #2 top gross/attendence "late-night animation"(sort of, ufotable did make "Unlimited Blade Works" Chapter as late-night anime, but fate was originally a game aeries) in process.
The gift factor again played very well this time(see back my post in 2015 for what that mean, although item code more in this case like Monster Strike did)
Note: Ch.2 lost butterfly will be in 2018.

Love Live and Mad Max, right? The only movie that I recognize this June that might break out is Deadpool. I know that Japan generally doesn't go for superhero movies, and there are a lot of pop culture references that I have no idea how they plan to deal with, but it's far more romantic than the typical superhero movie, which could help with such a female-dominated movie-going demographic. He's also linked with Spiderman (overall design, making jokes, meeting up in the comics, crack fanart), and Spiderman is by far Japan's favorite superhero.
this is enough to make a questionmark, even I believe the odds of Zootopia crossing the mark is still high, for now.

Zootopia didn't really come close to selling out all of its seats across the country, so it's not like the movie is being suppressed.
I think Zootopia can keep the pace until July. in normal cases. June is not really a strong month for films.
last year didn't however, mid-June was dominated by two films that did far beyond their expectations, plus their fan base and chain did not overlap overlap each other much. So you should hope there is nothing like that happen this year.

I saw that too. So Girls und Panzer was released November 21. Is it still in theaters? That's even longer than Frozen!
Oh well, it won't matter that much for Zootopia's daily gross estimates if it's not being included, since UNITED accounts for the lowest percentage of tickets of the six; it accounted for 4.5% yesterday, for instance.
Yes. There is still 1 theater showing so still counts as consecutive record.
Speaking of that issue mentioned above, probably due to 153 theaters (this is 38 more than their original screen count in Nov 21, 2015) will be (re-)showing it starting from 21st May till 31st May to conclude their long release, as a celebration of Blu-ray release. So even it don't matter in this week's weekdays, but certainly mattered a lot in result in this weekend since unknown number of 4DX joined in it.
Should this ended at 31st May the consecutive records it would be 193 days. However, for longest showing in 2015 releases, still 9 days short to Love Live! The School Idol Movie (13th June till 31st December, 202 days)So consider margin of this and Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion (2013) is less than 0.1BJPY. They are determined to overtake the latter to be second-highest gross film based on a late-night animation in their final 10 days sprint.===
Edited 10th June:
- It has officially passed Love Live! The School Idol Movie's 202 day record as longest run in 2015 releases. Particularly, Cinema City (the only theater showing them before expansion) has no plan to end the showing too soon, they even added another format starting from 18th June. I would not be surprised if Cinema City are going to show this for a whole year, as their tickets are still popular among the fans. (The are not 4DX but tailored audio-adjusted version)
- As expected, it has already become the second-highest gross film based on a late-night animation (currently 2.2B), it is very difficult to climb at top place even they got a 0.1B/wk pace on last two weeks, however, as some of them chosen continue to show them for a forseeable time, the final of this is yet to be determined.

That is not true. There are many arthouse films that get only 1-3 theaters (Cinematheque and/or IFC and/or The GRAND). This theater arrangement is not new to Japanese anime films either. Doukyusei only got a release in 1 theater last month and played fairly strong as well. There are quite a number of Japanese anime films that have gotten less than 5 theaters in the past few years so it is nothing new.
The main point is that is unusual move for utilizing 4DX for a film having low screen count AND non-3D.

And Finding Nemo happened more than a decade ago too... Zootopia is the recent original animation sleeper hit.
10 years is a long time to wait for a big original animation bit
Truth be told, I generalized quite a bit when I said Zootopia is the only top 10 original animation because I didn't want to make my post too long.
Points I omitted:
1.) Frozen probably would have been in the top 10 (or even top 3) without its Princess fan base or marketing advantage
2.) Finding Nemo would have still made top 10 without the re-release
3.) If Zootopia isn't in the top 10... no.10 would have been Inside Out, another original animation, anyway
Seeing as now i am spending more posts explaining, i guess it's safe to say that backfired spectacularly.
The point I'm trying to make is that most top grossing animated films came from films with pre-established fan bases (at least 7 in the top 10, 11 in the top 15, and 13 in the top 20)... and my hope is that the success of Zootopia will help decrease those numbers in the futurewell, i can only hope that it will in the process inspire more original animated films to be made in the future
Frozen hit is special case in Japan particularly on its dubbed songs rather than princess fanbase. But I did agree Zootopia is original animation sleeper hit.
-
Just a reminder (did mentioned a few pages ago):
Girls and Panzer der Film has a 4DX screen along with two normal screen (a very rare case as a non-3D film and having very low screen count), so don't be surprised if this produced a non usual total Today.
(The evening showing of 4DX has been full few weeks ago, the earlier one almost too as of this writing)

Lol Zoo actuallly underperformed in South East Asia, although it was incredibly strong in East Asia. Let's see what Japan can offer. Not to sound insensitive but hopefully its performance in Japan isn't highly affected by the earthquake.
Seeing today's performance, unless a bigger earthquake happened I don't think it will affect too much.
However, as released too near with Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare (1 week after), and has no special guest dubbing like Frozen did, I think it would called success if they can pass 4B JPY (Inside Out did despite facing heavy competition, particularly The Boy And The Beast)
-
A bit early to mention, but quite interesting stuff happened in Girls and Panzer der Film 4DX presale today. (This has only 1 4DX screen plus 1 standard screen only)
Although the 4DX version has only one showtime and one screen per day, all 4DX showtime (5/12-5/18) has been sold out within 30 minutes once they are available.

Don't think it will affect Cold War 2 much to be honest. Because Aaron Kwok won best actor (There is also controversy on this on weibo though), but I think the negative effects caused by giving Ten Years the Best Film award, is negated by the positive effect of Kwok winning Best Actor, so Cold War 2 is safe.
But HK Film awards is totally rigged, really brought the entire HK film industry backwards. Very disappointed with the jury.Since I had not watched the film itself, I have no right to judge whether Ten Years should be awarded or not.
But I believe if only political reason affect this result, that looked more like controversy between Zero Dark Thirty and Argo in Academy Awards. Or better saying, rigging controversy or are not limited to Hong Kong (or certain extent, China) but all over the World.
I did agree the nomination should be revised, but not necessary to alter the result unless there are more politically controversal film flooding the scene.

The post-Spring Break weekend, like every other post-holiday weekend, is a dead weekend.
The only wide opener is Suspicious Woman, and its pre-sales and morning/afternoon ticket sales are expectedly awful. It doesn't have any chance of making a run at the Top 5, and will likely barely settle for a Top 10 debut.
Also, it's definitely worth noting that the final Love Live! performance from the Tokyo Dome, titled μ's Final Love Live! Forever, is being broadcast in theaters on Saturday. It's a 2-day event, which began yesterday, and its admissions from yesterday appeared to be high enough to propel it into the Top 5 for the day.
So even though it only has Saturday, that day alone could very well be enough to earn it a Top 10 position for the weekend. In fact, I'd be surprised if it doesn't make the Top 10. Ticket prices are likely absurdly high, too, so it wouldn't even need the necessary admissions to pull of a Top 10 debut, either.
Two corrections:
1. The concert name is μ's Final Love Live! ~μ'sic Forever♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪~
2. The event itself was held on 3/31 and 4/1. The 4/2 broadcast is indeed rebroadcast of 4/1's performance. Although both 3/31 and 4/1 has live viewings and both gets into top 5 in projected bo on that day.
Additional update:
From the data known, the 4/2's attendance from 95 screens is 21736. (each ticket costs 3800, gross 82596800JPY), if that was a film it would have ranked 8th in gross of 4/2 to 4/3 weekend.
P.S. I was at the Dome in 4/1 performance.

HUGE for Assassination Classroom 2. Can't wait for it to be released here. I LOVED the first one. And actually not that bad for BvS, considering DC films are not popular in Japan.
Spiderman and Iron Man are OK, but not the rest.
It would be interesting for next week as quite some of the cinema will be occupied for about 6 hours in 4/2, for a recorded show.

And speaking one interesting thing: Girls und Panzer: The Movie
As a very rare case of non-3D movie and a movie already running for 3 months, 4DX was recently added as lineup (The week returning to top 10, in Week 15). It is announced they will continue to run at least before entering Golden Week.
It is still unknown will they overtake K-On! Movie and Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion, or even dethroning Love Live! The School Idol Movie as the highest gross movie base on late night TV-series, but from the cumulative chart, it is quite possible.
Edited: Seemed more cinemas then I expected used the G&P as a benchmark to show off technology they got. Following 4DX, ULTIRA and imm sound joined the lineup recently as limited lineup..

39th Japan Academy Prize - Nominations
Full List of Nominees
Sea Town Diary, directed by Koreeda Hirokazu, scored the most nominations with a stunning twelve nods. It's the favorite to sweep the awards this year, too. Last year, The Eternal Zero won in eight of its eleven nominated categories, including Picture and Director.
Animation of the Year should go to The Boy and the Beast or The Anthem of the Heart. Mamoru Hosoda's previous three films have all won the prize in their respective years, so the former is a good bet.
Best Foreign Language Picture is interesting this year. There's usually a clear frontrunner, or two, but this year's looks like a toss-up to me. I'm going with either American Sniper or Mad Max: Fury Road taking the prize home this year.(Right, the result has been released, but need to point out the Prize politics)
You forgot a important fact: Movies with direct relation of Nippon TV (the broadcaster) has advantage.
Sea Town Diary and The Boy and the Beast are directly produced by Nippon TV. (So you will understand why Konan series has nomination in almost every year)
American Sniper has feature show on Nippon TV but Mad Max didn't.
Edited 21, March:
Speaking of Prize politics, seemed today's TAAF produced a big result upset: The Boy and the Beast was NOT crowned in the TAAF2016 Anime of Year (Movie division) despite a Academy Prize win. And even more unexpected one, the same prize go to Love Live! The School Idol Movie instead.
If you look at TAAF/TAA previous record, The Academy Prize's AoY winner is almost sure to take the crown in TAAF/TAA AoY in same year, or vice versa (excluding special cases like Frozen), It is particularly a big shocker as Mamoru Hosoda's previous three films have all won both AoY in same year too but not this.

This weekend is very difficult to predict as it's the bank holidays/New Year, but not apart of the strongest days of the New Year, so expect varying differences between the forecast, weekend estimates, and finally the weekend actuals when they're finally released.
The first couple days of January, while strong due to New Years, aren't the strongest of the holiday period. The strongest days occur after the bank holidays (this weekend), which is January 4th and the next several days to follow. So, next week's weekdays are going to be quite humongous (probably 2x or more than this weekend earnings).
Still, the films appealing to adults are looking at potential increases this weekend, or at the very least, very small drops. And all the films targeting children/families or teens/young adults are unlikely to hold (or increase) as well unless Sunday proves otherwise. However, the films skewing toward a younger crowd will perform exceptionally well over the weekdays.
And that massive increase for Girls und Panzer: The Movie is probably due to some giveaway to moviegoers. Its pre-sales are up even beyond the 200% prediction above compared to last week (they're almost even with last weekend's overall admissions), but I'm being "conservative" in case there's a rush factor today. It's also been out of the Top 10 for a couple weeks now and I haven't been tracking it as extensively since, so its running total could be higher.For Girls und Panzer case. Yes, a specific rush factor for the film-roll(reprint) giveaway this week.
Just for reference, in page 504 I did mentioned the film-roll factor.

Are you talking about the Hype has faded off, or talking about Piracy options where people in Hong Kong choose to watch the movie online?
Because if it the latter, like what Bluebomb has mentioned before, piracy seems to not be a huge issue in Hong Kong as compared to markets like China or Malaysia. The Wolverine is a good example, expendables 3 did not do well because of its quality, not because of the leaked movie. Ip Man 2 had HDrip version out.. 2 days after its release date in 2010, and it didn't affect its gross and holding power in HK, but it did in China.
I did see your point, quality did play a lot (unless you are trying to pull big trick), but for Yo-Kai Watch's case it has few relationship to piracy as they are dubbed version rather than original Japanese ones. I am not sure for the hype issue but I don't think so.
I mentioned it did its expectations just because as overall, crossing 1M is a really difficult task nowadays as a non-Gibiri/Doraemon Japanese animation (I mentioned before, all but 2 non-Gibiri/Doraemon animations that had crossed 1M-mark are based on pre-2000 franchises). Consider the result (2.5~3M in week 1) I think this did quite well, although there has room to do better.
Probably just cinema's politics?

Superb for Ip Man 3. Bad hold for Star Wars 7. Not that great for Anniversary. Early reviews must have sucked the life of its walk ups because this type of movie should do well with walk-ins too. Opening day score is a 3.8/5. Good hold for Peanuts. Bad for The Little Prince. Horrible for Joy. It'll be interesting to see if it's 4.4 from opening day user reviews will make a dent at the box office. Atrocious for Yo-Kai Watch. Very good for Ten Years. Terrible for Initiation Love.

Funnily enough, only the 2 new openers in the top 10 fell on New Year's Day. Awful for Yo-Kai Watch. Fantastic for Ten Years. Steve Jobs and Secret in Their Eyes sneak previews made the top 10.
In my opinion Yo-Kai Watch did above average and my expectations. If you consider the original movie has already aired in Japan over a year ago. (Compared to Doraemon, however, is released in Hong Kong after only 2-3 months behind Japan.)
At least they not only become the second ever Japanese post-2000 TV animated franchise passes 1M mark but quite near with Doraemon releases (excluding Stand by me of course). Should they put the sequel in Summer I believe can score a better result.
Compared to Yo-Kai Watch, The Boy and the Beast did perform poorly in Hong Kong however. And I afraid it will miss the 1M mark.

What is the other movie?
Love Live! The School Idol Movie , also in 2015. (Only counting franchises after 2000, original animations don't count)
But this data is got from Japanese unofficial reports, I didn't got actual of this (I believe it did barely managed cross 1M).
But indeed, it is still very rare for Japanese animations that is not Gibiri nor Doraemon to cross the 1M mark. Maybe less than 10 after 2000?
-
Quite interesting thing is:
Yo-Kai Watch is the likely contender to become the second animated movie pass through 1M HKD as a post-2000 TV franchise (yeah, only 1 did it in 15 years). Even the original movie itself has already released in DVD in Japan long time ago.

From what I seen in a HK movie blog, the disappointment of SW in HK mainly because ticket price increase of all films (including but not limited to SW).
Both MCL and Broadway raised another $5 HKD (now $85 to $100) for standard 2D Films.
In terms of admission, this December might not be a blockbuster as everyone expected

Although Bohemian looked to poise top in yesterday stat but looked might not be the case after the day performance of Ralph and Sunshine.

Many were surprised Sunshine did far less than the predecessor despite most viewers' response were positive (I mean not biased to gift, but a real one)
Seemed either Love Live's Staff epic miss to put a sub-group fanmeeting in Chiba, which overlapping day 2/3? Or viewers were just too afraid what happened in original movie will too happen here too? (Big Spoilers of two series and related groups thus not tomention here)
(Note: unlike predecessor's fanmeeting on Chiba which on same day of movie, the subgroup fanmeeting is NOT packaged with movie airing)
