There's no way they leave it at 995m. Will do some math tricks and make it 1001m

The normal is more like 1.8-2% but some things overindex and some underindex, so based on those it goes like 1.5-2.5%. Usually films that does well with Hispanic demo, overindex here, like Minions, Pixar, Venom, anime, etc. What I meant normal for DBZ was that initially all other comps were giving like $3.25M which would mean Harkins was around 3.1% i.e. way more than normal overindex. 2.3% was in expected range for overindexing titles, that's why Harkins came out normal in the end. Beast FRI came around 1.95% depending on where actuals will land. For SAT expecting similar ratio i.e. 1.95-2% for ~$4.5M.

Harkins SAT Dragon Ball Super - 13386/70272 (249 showings) $141,554 Very minor drop. Probably $6-6.25M SAT. $21M+ weekend. Beast - 8771/51528 (216 showings) $88,770 Good jump. $4.4-4.7M. $12-12.5M weekend.

Harkins THU Previews Dragon Ball Super - 8947/42101 (156 showings) $101,768 So Harkins ended up pretty normal with around 2.3-2.35% ratio.

58K OD in Argentina. 94K 2 days. 75K OD in Peru Broly comps:

Dragon Ball $11M OD ($4.5M previews) Beast $4.4M

Dragon Ball 94,151 2 days. OD was 58K.

Not Anime thread. Please take this to weekend thread. @Eric the Lion may be move the last few comments to weekend thread.

Harkins FRI Dragon Ball Super - 12947/70250 (253 showings) $144,879 Beast - 6340/59334 (242 showings) $65,673 Both did a lot better than I hoped and there is still time they can add a lil bit more. DBS probably ~$5.5M FRI for ~$9.25M OD. Weekend may be $18M approx. Beast $3.75-4M FRI. Weekend may be $11.5-12.25M

I guess probably the release time had to do with it. Back when Demon Slayer released, there weren't many movies around. It probably got a lot of casual viewers. Also Demon Slayer was a bit special, DBS:SH, seems like just another DBS movie.

Balls bigger than Beast

Harkins THU Previews Dragon Ball Super - 8947/42101 (156 showings) $101,768 Beast - 1488/22808 (93 showings) $15,820 DBS around $3.5M may be. Beast should comfortably be around $0.9-1M.

I think a universal story can easily do $100M. These animes like DBS, Demon Slayer are based on Japanese comic books I believe, so the audience is limited to their fans. Something like Spirited Away or Your Name may transcend these boundaries to do $100M but will need great content.

Yeah. I had half of MHA sales, so not sure how useful they are. The tracked ones were $27K. Overall may be $60K range.

At 6PM in Harkins Dragon Ball - 7399/42101 (156 showings) $83,934 Beast - 862/22808 (93 showings) $8,798 Around ~9K final for Dragon Ball, which shall normally means $5.5M but I suppose Dragon Ball may be over-indexing here and by A LOT. The lowest I can go is may be $4M but none of other regions is that high, just $3.25M seems peak. I guess $3.5M may be doable here. Beast may be 1.2-1.3k final. Normally $725-775K, but seems like under-indexing here. Crawdads & Nope comp give $800-850K, so probably around that.

I won't say Bad Guy had some crazy WOM. Maoyan is just 9.1. Seems like it just benefitted from poor opening & no competition for a very high OD to full run multiple.

Bad Guys was a random animation. Minions 2 is big brand. It can't be that WOM dependent. It need opening as well. Pre-sales were 2.3M yday which is quite bit low but can still improve a bit with final pre-sales of 9-12M I guess. OD of 35-50M as compared to 138M of Despicable Me 3.

DBS seems like fav to win this weekend but it can be front loaded and does like only 10M after 2.5M previews and Beast seems like will be backloaded, 1M can lead to 10M+.

sure, not from Your Name but there is no way he ain't taking that much from Weathering with you or later.

Cost of production isn't only thing of budget. Majority is talent remuneration. A Shinkai film may have just $5M cost of production, but there is no way Shinkai doesn't cost $50M as his film can do $200M worldwide.

Hmm. So Minions was given release date to embarrass it? Releasing same day.

210-225M.

It will do like $11M this week and total of $676.7M, leaving just $23.3M for $700M. That just need 33% weekly drops, which seems quite easy considering it is able to do sub-20% for ages now.

BT I think $13-13.3M weekend. Final probably around $90-95M but can see hit $100M with dead competition.
