    In 1950s &1960s, Imported Films were usually screened in Metropolitan Areas such as Tokyo and Osaka for a period of time, and then gradually transferred copies to other parts of the country. This was mainly due to the fact that it was difficult to distribute film at that time, and New Films could still be released in two or three years after they were released Overseas. Tram was developed, and people in non-metropolitan areas, especially students, have the habit of going to Tokyo for leisure and entertainment every few months, which can provide stable passenger flow support; In addition, the first round of cinema ticket prices is very high, more than 4x ATP in Japan, and the Share Ratio is also between 60% and 70%, which is quite a lucrative business for Film Distributors.

     

    The most famous of these is the epic blockbuster "Ben-Hur", which was screened at the Tokyo Peking Opera Center in Ginza on April 1, 1960, and ran for 469 consecutive days until its release on July 13, 1961, with a box office of ¥316,733,201 / 954,318 visitors (Official Data - ¥314,543,757 / 950,714 admits), setting a record for the Highest Recorded Gross in a Single Movie Theater at that time. This record was later broken by "West Side Story", which was screened in Marunouchi Piccadilly for 511 consecutive days, from December 23, 1961 to May 17, 1963, with a total of ¥449,681,514 / 1,525,849 admits (Official Data - ¥449,473,123 / 1,525,150 admits).

     

    With the popularization of TV in 1970s, the commercial film single-theater screening model came to an end. In 1975, the record-breaking movie "Jaws" was released in 83 cities and 126 theaters on the same day, no longer giving the first round of theaters in big cities an exclusive advantage, with a cumulative box office of ¥7,864,506,210 / 6,824,097 admits in 7 months, and the highest single theater Shinjuku Tokyu Milano (closed in 2014) earned ¥371,348,074 / 298,377 admits in 140 days. In 1982, "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial", which broke the record in film history at that time, was released in Japan in the first week of its release in 35 theaters in 9 Metropolitan Areas, and after a limited release of one week, it expanded to 164 theaters in Japan the next week, and after its release 182 days later, it had ¥13.483B and 10.693 million admits on 264 screens in Japan, of which Shinjuku Tokyu Milano, had the best single theater performance, earned ¥722.2M / 526,588 admits. Although the ticket price has set a record with the increase in ticket prices, the release time of the top blockbuster single theater has also dropped to less than half a year, and it has become a legend to exceed 1 million people. @BOfficeStats

    FYI there is an extremely high chance that they are just repeating what @ThatWaluigiDude posted in the Brazil tracking thread 3 hours before they tweeted.  

     

    Here is what was posted in the Brazil tracking thread:

     

    "The first 24 hours of pre-sales of Dune 2 are just a little above those from The Flash. That is decent actually, given that The Flash opened with R$16M+ and the first Dune opened with "only" R$5M."

  4. Thank you for your analysis.  It is interesting.

    Civil War - the trailer is pretty effective and outside of the April releases it seems like the most likely to gain some traction here

    Do you think the setting and overall theme will harm the movie overseas compared to if it had a less America-focused narrative?

    Godzilla -1 has hit a 4x domestic multipler! It's a WOM monster.

    godzilla-minus-one-has-now-hit-a-4x-dome

    It's even more impressive when you consider that Wednesday + Thursday previews ($2.1M) made up 44% of the opening day ($4.726M).  Considering how it was competing with Renaissance for PLF showings, it might have opened closer to $10M if showings started at 7 PM on Thursday (same time as Renaissance).

     

    The -1.6% 2nd Saturday drop was incredible.

    imo this is the most impressive box office run of this year in any country: only one that compares is 12:12 the day which also has had crazy legs in Korea, or maybe Mario in Mexico

    Personally, I would put Cheburashka at #1.  It is easily the most attended film in Russia since 2004 (23.6M admissions versus Avatar's 14.3M).  12.12: The Day, SMBM, and C'è Ancora Domani won't be even the most attended films in their markets from 2019-2023.

    She's the reverse Rihanna. Riri has hit songs, but not massive albums sales. I'd take Rihanna ...her songs will be played for generations to come like Umbrella, Diamonds. I feel Taylor Swift doesn't have a massive hit as those two Riri songs

    At least in the United States, Taylor Swift  has songs which are as big, if not bigger, than Rihannas hit songs.  If you look at the RIAA certifications Umbrella + Diamonds have a combined 15x platinum while You Belong with Me + Love Story also have 15x platinum.

    If you look at the most successful sequels post-COVID, except for NWH they are all at least 4-5 years after their predecessors.

     

    You don't even have to look at the most successful sequels post-COVID.  Only 5 out of the 22 sequels that passed $400M WW since March 2020 had less than a 4 year gap and only 2 of them (John Wick Chapter 4 and Fast X) came out after April 2022.  John Wick Chapter 4 had a 46 month gap so it was basically a 4 year gap.
