Feels like ￥40b is inevitable at this point.

Thanks! I'll edit.

Damn! 37% day-on-day drop, when everything else is dropping 50%+!

Damn, 22%, so no chance of ending up above the US box office for 2020?

There was some crazy winter storm in January in most of the US that dampened its gross a bit, but it still managed to make almost $200m after crushing Avatar. However, it was strongest in its first 17 days. The second and third weekend records still stand even after Avengers 4 obliterated the opening weekend record.

Marvel engaged with the Japanese market early. They even made an officially licensed Japanese live-action Spider-Man TV show back in the 70s.

Oh my, we're literally less than 2 weeks away from Spirited Away being overtaken!

What do worldwide numbers look like? Is number 1 of 2020 still in play?

Why are there 2 numbers for Titanic?

What if it does ￥40b+ in Japan?

Sorry, LPLC asked if it was 100% locked that DS will surpass SA. Can you honestly agree that it is a 100% lock? I would personally put it at 99%. There is always that 1% chance that it might not happen. Sorry if you consider this 'another dose of doubt'.

I mean, nothing is ever a lock. COVID-19 numbers are on the rise in Japan as well. I'm not saying they're gonna do it, but closing the cinemas again or asking people to avoid them again is certainly something that can happen.

My money is still on ￥40b being the floor. By the way, how do the 4th and projected 5th weekend stack against the before-DS opening weekend record? Is it still above? What do the top 10 weekends (opening or non-opening) off all time in Japan look like right now?

Here we go! $1b worldwide! Top movie of 2020
