Mojo hasn't updated their international number since September 11th. I think The-Numbers is more current and accurate. I think it is hitting $1 billion this weekend!
I know Obon gave a boost to films in August. I see that Monday is a holiday called Respect for the Aged Day, will that holiday give any boost to films? Thinking in terms of JWD getting a boost to help reach the billion dollar total.
Official Universal estimate after the weekend appears to be right at $997 million. Probably will be a long process, but maybe by the middle of October it hits $1 billion.
Yeah seems like the opposite of fudging is going on. Brian at The-Numbers is actually adding all the numbers up from each country and getting that total, but Universal is reporting a few million less.
The-Numbers updated Dominion to be at $998.1 million. I am not sure how accurate that is when Universal's "official" estimate on Sunday was only $994.6 million. Japan this week has only done like half a million so far, so not sure how it would jump almost $4 million. Unless Universal has been really underestimating?

How much juice does Dominion have left in Japan? Is $50 million still possible?
$48.5 million would obviously lock $1 billion, but it does seem $47.5 million would also get it there. Do those numbers still seem attainable in Japan?
So I guess The-Numbers was a little off on their numbers from a few days ago, however still seems like the pace is there for $1 billion. It increased $4.2 million since last Sunday, so maybe $1 billion by the end of September?
The-Numbers just updated and as of today (prior to Thursday's Domestic numbers and Japan's $41.9 million as of Wednesday) as $994.9 million. So if that is accurate, seems like $1 billion is very much alive.
