    Never thought I'd see another film challenge Spirited Away for #1. Then again, prior to Frozen I never though the 20 billion yen benchmark would be surpassed again since the golden period of box office ended in Japan.
  2. KP1025
    I hope it can leg its way past Titanic too if it surpasses Frozen. #1 and #2 on the Japan all-time BO list would then both be Japanese films.

    How long is it expected to remain in theaters? Has a DVD release date been announced which may affect its run?

    Does this mean Your Name's shot at 25 billion yen is dead?
  5. KP1025
    Corpse says it's unlikely that Your Name will reach 25 billion yen, but what's stopping it? It's demonstrated incredible legs even with the release of blockbusters like Fantastic Beasts. In terms of animated film competition, Sing and Moana also won't release until mid-March. Is Rogue One going to hurt its legs in the coming weeks?
  6. KP1025
    I think it will be very frontloaded either way. But since it is a co-production it will have more than one month in theaters. We'll see if it can keep high number of screens after opening week.

    Would be nice to see Warcraft take down F7 as highest grossing import in China.

    You should do some research before trying to correct someone. The Chinese yuan uses the same currency sign as the Japanese yen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C2%A5

    I'm curious how much more Frozen could have made if they postponed the DVD release in Japan. It was still pulling not insignificant numbers in theaters even in July.
  10. KP1025
    This list is for 2015 imported films only.

    Didn't people also predict $40-50 million for Frozen in Japan based on Tangled's performance there? Not saying Zootopia will come anywhere near that level of success, but I think it has the potential to do a bit more than the usual Disney animation.
  12. KP1025
    It's too bad it isn't better received in China. The analysts in the China board are saying it has a chance to finish under $100 million, which is less than half of Ultron's $240 million gross in China.
  13. KP1025
    Zootopia's success in China is one of the biggest surprises in a long time for me. I thought it would gross $50-60 million, in line with other animated films not named KFP. I can't believe it might go over $230 million. That's far far higher than any Disney animated film ever grossed in China. What is it about the film that is causing it to break out and have such good WOM? Anthropomorphic animals have never had this level of success in China.

    Avatar 2 should also be released 2019 in China, assuming a January release like the original. Avatar was $204 million in January 2010, so 9 years of growth could push it close to $1 billion. Depends if the sequel is a must see cinematic experience like the original.
  15. KP1025
    KFP2 grossed about 4.4% of the yearly box office in 2011. Box office has been growing around 50% each year, so I'd say 2016 is heading towards $10 billion. Based on that, KFP2's performance would be equivalent to more than $400 million in 2016.
  16. KP1025
    Mermaid's numbers are amazing. It already surpassed KFP3's total gross after just 3 days.
  17. KP1025
    Agreed. I'm still surprised it grossed so much.
  18. KP1025
    After seeing the new trailer, I think ID2 will be top Hollywood film of the year. 2012 (same director- Roland Emmerich) was the highest grossing movie of the year in China, beating even Transformers 2. If ID2 gets a good release date, I think Transformers 4's gross should be the floor.
  19. KP1025
    I thought F7 had a bigger opening day, or am I mistaken?
  20. KP1025
    I think F7's OS run is amazing but it falls behind TFA and JW for me overall, if only because its domestic run was hardly record breaking and paled in comparison.
  21. KP1025
    Shaolin Soccer has always been my favorite Chow film.
  22. KP1025
    That is great to hear. Potentially a film to challenge Monster Hunt's record after all.
  23. KP1025
    2 billion yuan possible for Mermaid? Reminds of the article posted not long ago here. http://www.china.org.cn/arts/2016-01/14/content_37577525.htm
  24. KP1025
    Do we know what kind of competition it will face yet?
  25. KP1025
    Will have to see how Mr Nian is received. If good, it could attract some of the younger audience away from KFP3.
