    Universal updated OS totals again. OS: $1,016,713,032 WW: $1,668,767,148 http://www.upi-boxoffice.com/

    BOM also has Singapore at $53 million, but the OS is still $485 million. That figure is obviously wrong and should probably be $5.3 million. For reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_Singapore

    I've heard of delays in OS totals (sometimes over a year) but rarely for domestic. Those should be pretty fast to update.
  5. KP1025
    Why did Universal stop domestic tracking so early for F7 compared to its other films? Did it lose screens that fast? I noticed it still had 357 theaters on the last day of tracking, June 18.

    I agree it's really insulting to say something like the Japanese are not smart for liking Minions. Box office gross is a measure of popularity primarily, and Minions simply attracted more of the general public's interest regardless of IO being more critically acclaimed. As I mentioned above, it wasn't just Minions as competition. Boy and the Beast was an even bigger animated film released around the same date. Family friendly movies were in abundance that month, and IO's legs struggled a bit because of that.
  7. KP1025
    Too much competition from other animated movies, including Minions at the same time. I wouldn't say it was rejected since $32.5 million is still good (just not amazing) for an original non-sequel Disney/Pixar film and better than what most Hollywood blockbusters usually earn in Japan. If not for the low yen, Inside Out would have made similar to Wall-E or Up and better than Ratatouille. At least it didn't totally bomb like Brave with its $11 million.

    Minions' success isn't really surprising. It's a sequel to a popular animated franchise. IO is an original film, and those don't usually have the same huge fanbase. That being said, IO's performance both domestic and worldwide is amazing and better than what many people predicted.
  9. KP1025
    Every market has their own movie preferences and tastes. Movie grosses are just measures of popularity, not its quality.

    I don't agree with either the Minions hate or Frozen hate. But you can't say that DM3 is a surefire billion dollar hit while at the same time saying Frozen 2 will make only half of the original because that was a one-off. That's just a biased statement. Minions alone shows that a movie can be hated but still make a ton of money just based on the sequel factor. It doesn't even matter if some people hate Frozen since its existing fan base (sales alone prove this) pretty much guarantees it will be a huge hit.

    I guess BOM has outdated information for IA4. It lists China gross at $67,891,012.
  12. KP1025
    So Minions ends short of $70 million after all.
  13. KP1025
    It's definitely a much weaker performance compared to animated films in recent years (although IO is an original film unlike the many more successful sequels).
  14. KP1025
    I guess this is the final gross unless there's $1 million left in Japan?
  15. KP1025
    Does Jurassic World still have a chance at beating BH6 in yen?
  16. KP1025
    I don't see it making $134 million again in Japan, especially not with how much the yen has fallen since its peak in 2010.
  17. KP1025
    It might still get lucky and get the tail end of August like Terminator 5, but really they don't have a choice but to accept the release date (however bad) China gives them or risk no release there at all.
  18. KP1025
    $1 billion OS would require a Frozen-level breakout in Japan and also a better than average performance in China. Basically Minions' OS run but with Frozen's Japan run.
  19. KP1025
    I'm not sold on the notion that it will increase from the first film. As I recall, the biggest draw was the 3D factor and that novelty has worn off. The film itself had mixed reviews, which indicate the sequel probably will see a slight decrease.
  20. KP1025
    I think Dory will do fine in China. Unlike IO's human-centered and more mature plot, Dory will have plenty of comedy and talking animal characters. It should definitely be better received among young children and families, even if they lack the brand awareness.
  21. KP1025
    Box office was quite different back when ID4 was released. Not a lot of huge CGI blockbusters on the scale that we have now. I don't think the OS number will double but should see a nice increase due to China. Enough to hit $1 billion WW but probably not much higher in my opinion.
  22. KP1025
    After domestic, the highest market was Mexico with $10.1 million followed by the UK at $9.6 million. It's not getting a China release, so it probably won't even reach $120 million OS.
  23. KP1025
    I believe the original adjusts to around $1.25 billion WW after inflation, so the sequel should easily hit $800 million OS. It has a good shot at beating the OS animation record held by Frozen.
  24. KP1025
    Don't expect much from Japan. Corpse is predicting less than 200 million yen ($1.66 million) opening weekend.
  25. KP1025
    I think IO did quite well in Japan given the competition. Not as high as the usual Pixar performance over there, but at least it didn't bomb like Brave.
