    It's so blatantly obvious that no footage of Spidey vs Mysterio is shown, and no mention of Mysterio as a villain in the marketing.

    From eiga.com: Aladdin: ¥879m (8m) / ¥7.2b ($66.6m) Far from Home: ¥699m ($6.45m) / ¥1b (9.3m) My Yen to USD conversion might not be exactly accurate, but it's close. So Aladdin only dropped 12% from last weekend. Waaay lower drop than Corpse's forecast.

    There's some kind of Endgame effect maybe for FFH? I'm thinking $32m total, but rooting for ¥4b ($36m+).

    You mean, popularity-wise? Because that is simply not true. I've said it before but I'll say it again. Since the animated movie, The Lion King has gained its popularity in Japan throughout the years, thanks to the musical. I even think between Aladdin, BatB, and TLK, Aladdin is the least popular. That's why its success in Japan actually surprised me. I'm not saying TLK is gonna reach 150m, but it could make more than Aladdin and BatB.

    Sorry double post.

    If you read carefully both the tweet and the first quote from Deadline, $12.2m was through Thursday, and Annabelle opened on Wednesday in some countries.
  7. catlover
    Yes, Sunday is usually higher than Saturday. Not always, but most of the time.

    Looking at these numbers, I don't think Aladdin's drop will be as steep as Corpse projected. More like 15-17% instead of 25%, so easily over ¥800m. FFH will probably be closer to his forecast. Could be higher too depending on Sunday.
  9. catlover
    Yeah, but it's not that popular to have an earlier release. I think it's more because of what are waiting in July for summer holiday. TS4 and Weathering With You both have potentials to make ¥10b+. While late June to early July is empty.

    Aladdin is still going strong with Spidey opening. I guess that's expected since the core demo for those 2 movies aren't really the same. Also, it's very rare for a Hollywood movie to open earlier in Japan than in NA, isn't it? It happened to Pikachu, but it's Pokemon so that's a special case.
  11. catlover
    Honestly I have no idea where those 2 movies are gonna land. Frozen and Your Name made around what, $250m? So Frozen 2 and Weathering with You could go anywhere between $100-200m.

    Then why did Dunkirk only make less than a third of Interstellar?
  13. catlover
    How the heck did Interstellar do that? Is there anything in specific that appeals to South Korean?
  14. catlover
    I think it could. It's at $50.7m now with about $9m 3rd weekend. So it was $41.7m as of Friday. Let's say it has 7x multiplier from its 3rd weekend, which is just "normal". Then it will make $63m after Friday, which means a total of $104.7m. And this is not even an optimistic prediction.

    Aladdin's final number for Sun: 253,822 Aladdin's Sat-Sun: 482,740 (-8.9%) If it drops only 8.8% for the 2-day weekend, it will stay above ¥1B for a 3rd week in a row. Looks like it's gonna be reeeaaally close.
  16. catlover
    Wow that's a low opening in Indonesia. I wonder if TS4 opened bigger despite having only 3 days instead of 5 days like MIB.
  17. catlover
    Btw I was just invited to an advance screening of Parasite here in Jakarta. What an entertaining, thrilling, unpredictable, thought-provoking piece of art. How it shifted from comedy to thriller to drama so seamlessly was amazing.
  18. catlover
    Recent blockbusters that I remember: Up, Coco, Incredibles 2, Tangled, Frozen, The Avengers, Black Panther, Endgame, Into the Spider-verse. I think Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles also got A+.

    Well, I was just translating what's written on that Japanese poster. It literally says "Why was Elsa given a power?". The verb used in that sentence is "give" in a passive form, not "have". So I was just correcting the previous poster, didn't mean anything else. But yeah, maybe the question in that poster is a clue that someone or something gave Elsa the power for a reason, or to serve some purposes.

    You're forgetting that Sunday was Father's Day with increases from Sat for some movies. So it's normal to have bigger Monday drops than usual for those movies. Like some posters suggested, you can look at the week-to-week drops to see how good or bad they are.
  21. catlover
    I posted this before, but I'll post it again because this is important. At this point, BatB had entered the Golden Week holidays period, which lasted for about a week, while Aladdin will not have any holiday boost at all. And that's why, it will be hard for Aladdin to match BatB's total.

    No need for confusion. The numbers from eiga.com are the official reported actuals from Japan. Those will be exactly the same everywhere, including Corpse's chart. Aladdin did make ¥1.099B on the 2-day weekend, which is converted to $10M+.
  23. catlover
    Apparently it's not wrong. Actuals came out bigger than estimated. It made $10M+ on the 2-day weekend, with a total of $33M+.
  24. catlover
    So according to eiga.com, the higher-than-expected reported cume for Aladdin (which was $32.6M) was actually underestimated. Actuals for June 15 - 16 Aladdin: ¥1.099B ($10M+) / ¥3.585B ($33M+) Only 2% drop!

    Whaat? To me, Bao was cute, moving and so relatable.
