Frozen became the third highest grossing film, and second most attended film, of all-time in Japan back in 2014. >Frozen II got off to a record-start, selling 1,210,000 admissions over the weekend frame alone across 878 screens; and selling 1,452,530 admissions after three-days in release. This debut is 117% higher than the first film, and either set some very impressive records or achieved high accolades in the process. Here are some below:Records: *Biggest Opening Weekend Of 2019 - Revenue and Admissions. *Biggest Opening Weekend For An Imported Animated Film - Revenue and Admissions. *Biggest Disney Opening Weekend Ever - Revenue and Admissions. *Biggest Opening Weekend For An Animated Film In November - Revenue and Admissions.Accomplishments: *Second Biggest Opening Weekend Ever For An Animated Film - Revenue and Admissions. *Second Biggest Opening Weekend Of The Decade - Revenue and Admissions. *Second Biggest Opening Weekend Since 2007 - Revenue and Admissions. *Second Biggest Opening Weekend In November - Revenue and Admissions. *Tenth Biggest Opening Weekend Ever - Revenue. *Twelfth Biggest Opening Weekend Ever - Admissions. *Seventh Animated Film to Ever Debut Above 1,000,000 Admissions. *Thirteenth Overall Film to Ever Debut Above 1,000,000 Admissions. So, what sort of path does this absolutely stellar debut put the film on? It's always difficult to project a likely finish, or even pinpoint a likely range, after a single weekend in the market, but it's going to be a lot. Even if it has "average" legs for this time of year for a major animated film, it's likely going to exceed ¥15 billion ($140 million), but the likelihood of it grossing more is very high, and it'll probably approach the ¥20 billion ($180 million+) milestone.- 24,124 replies

China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26
KP1025 replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
Those were in the summer though with kids off from school. I think 80% drop is mostly in-line with a kid-skewing film on a regular school day. -
I think $500 million DOM is still possible with upcoming holiday support, but we'll know once we see how big the drop is over Thanksgiving.

Probably very little effect, just like how Lion King did not affect TS4 in any meaningful way. In Japan, big releases can often exist side by side without cannibalizing each other's business.- 24,124 replies

Yeah, Harry Potter was a true phenomenon in Japan. Although each sequel continued to lose a large portion of the audience (the final film grossed less than half of the first film).- 24,124 replies

It's important to note that Toy Story 4's massive opening had the help of a holiday. Its Friday might also have been a little larger than usual due to the upcoming summer vacation.- 24,124 replies

39 consecutive days over $1 million for Joker is very impressive, beating both Endgame and Lion King (38 days each).

China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26
KP1025 replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
I think a heavily censored/toned down version wouldn't be nearly as well received (Deadpool 2 is a good example), if it ever happens in China. Plus, there is the issue of piracy. Some foreign films have had theatrical releases despite being available online already, and none have ever grossed close to $100 million to my knowledge. -

But it clearly gained a following (presumably on home video) given just how huge Terminator 2: Judgement Day was. T2 is still the 58th highest grossing film ever in Japan after almost 30 years; and T3 also ranks well as the 65th highest grossing film.Terminator: Dark Fate debuts this weekend, so let's see if it can be more of a return to form for the franchise in the market. Japan has been the franchise's top OS market (well, 2nd for Genisys), but it's dropped off a lot. It's not going to suddenly jump back to T2 or T3 numbers, but surpassing Genisys and Salvation would be a nice accomplishment and it's not unreasonable.

But not only does it seem very, very likely to open higher than Genisys, it also looks good to either match or beat the opening weekend of Terminator: Salvation by a bit as long as Sunday delivers. I've been expecting a better debut for Dark Fate, and these numbers are pretty impressive, suggesting a ¥600/700 million opening weekend. So it looks likely to open higher than Salvation as well (in gross). Even if it does end up being as frontloaded as the previous two entries, it has a good chance of reaching ¥3.5/¥4 billion ($30-35 million) with a ¥600/700 million opening.- 24,124 replies

Looks like Dark Fate is having a solid opening in Japan. Perhaps the only major market with a big increase from Genisys.
-
Aladdin and Toy Story 4 both had 52 consecutive days above $1 million.

Like Let It Go or Speechless, I think Into the Unknown will provide a similar boost for Frozen II. Especially in markets like South Korea or Japan where musicals can become big phenomenons if certain songs resonate with the audience.

Frozen grossed ¥25.5 billion, which was approximately $250 million in 2014 according to Corpse's chart. 40% drop in yen to ¥15.3 billion would be $140 million today, a drop of 44% in USD. As for 3D share and average ticket price, 2019 levels are slightly higher than 2014 according to Corpse:
-
40% decline would still be good enough for Frozen II to cross ¥15 billion and win the year in Japan over Weathering With You.

JOKER OS THREAD // 738.5M OS // 1.074B WW
KP1025 replied to PanaMovie's topic in International Box Office
I'm not saying the Joker IP alone is responsible for the film crossing $1 billion WW, but I think it definitely helped make the film more accessible to the general audience. Queen is well-known among older audiences, but the film was still a biopic about Freddie Mercury at its core. It could have easily pulled a Rocketman (Elton John is another huge icon in the music industry) and grossed under $200 million WW, especially with the LGBT angle and negative reviews prior to release. Joker, being an origin story for one of the most infamous fictional characters ever created, was always guaranteed a higher floor. But I digress. Surely, they are both incredibly surprising and amazing runs for different reasons.
