    See, F2 only lost around 35% seats. I don't know where that 50% came from. Isn't it exhausting to constantly be in overreaction/panic mode? 😅 Usual locations 14.00 update: SW9 - 88,466 Frozen 2 - 13,926 (-4.5% from LW) Both are doing great.

    Corpse has explained this. Frozen 2 had been holding an unnecessarily huge amount of seats anyway, due to light competition. So cutting it 50% will not effect it that much. But where did you get 50%? Because I don't think it's that many. Also, it's still very early, but it looks like Frozen 2 is holding really well so far today.

    So apparently SW had some kind of previews today (Thursday). It did 14,699 at usual locations (35 theaters and 64 showtimes). Meanwhile Frozen 2 dropped only 9.5% from last week. This weekend's gonna be very interesting. We will see how big SW9 opens and how well Frozen 2 holds.

    That GG nom is the only one I could think of. So maybe there is a boost from that.
  5. catlover
    It means it stops dropping big.
  6. catlover
    Yeah I think this small drop on Tuesday could also mean it's stabilizing. GG might have effects too, but not that big, especially compared to the Oscars. We'll see on Wednesday.

    It's doing amazingly well in Indonesia. Without any real competition until SW9, which will take a lot of screens but is not really a huge threat, it will outgross the previous one easily.

    I saw it last week and I enjoyed it a lot! Better than the first one. It's fun, hilarious (more funny jokes), with exciting new game locations/setting and action scenes, strong characters, and a surprisingly solid story. I think DeVito and Glover's characters really elevated the movie. Johnson and Hart were also spot on and hilarious as those two characters. It's flawed, but overall very entertaining. And I don't understand why it's failing in China. After seeing it, I though the people there would really enjoy it.

    Yes, on the last week of December, weekdays will be strong, but New year holiday will be waaay bigger than spring break. Not only schools are off, offices are closed too. It's one of the 3 biggest weeks for box office in Japan, aside from Golden Week and Obon.

    Looks like the last $10m+ of 2019. Unless SW9 surprises. But very unlikely.
  11. catlover
    It's gonna rise to #1 this week. Or at least #2. Christmas will be good for Frozen 2's album sales.
  12. catlover
    Oh wow bigger than estimates. Less than 11% drop! Weekly drop on Monday is looking good too. It could even be deflated because of yesterday's craziness.
  13. catlover
    Unfortunately that's unlikely. #10 is Age of Ultron with $15.5m. Frozen II needs exceptional holds for that to happen. But with Jumanji taking many of its screens in several days, that would be really hard. I think #12 is the highest it could get. Btw what an interesting yearly ranking. MCU, action and supernatural horror films are expected to be there. But to see a Disney princess/musical film, an animated/musical film, and a psychological drama on that list, is pretty absurd. I mean I was one of few people who believed that Frozen II could cross $10m, but this is waaay more than I expected. Maleficent 2 also came out of nowhere.

    That's what I love from Frozen 2. It's about growing up, moving forward, and taking that first step out of your comfort zone. In the process, some things may change, but don't worry, because there are always things that will never change. All of the songs have this theme. They really carry the story and character developments. Btw, the songs are doing great on iTunes US. Idina's Into the Unknown is #4 and #32. Combined, it's #3, just below The Weeknd's 2 new releases. While Show Yourself is at #11 combined. And it looks like the album will rise to #3 on Billboard 200. Will it be the number one Christmas seller? It seems like a perfect album to gift.

    But judging from the huge increase on Saturday from Friday (last week and this week), it does seem that Frozen 2 might skew younger for some reason. It will though. Tomorrow is a school/work day, so less people will go to the movies in the afternoon/evening. Maybe the discount will even it out, but still, it will slow down.
  16. catlover
    I think $500m is happening. Even if it barely gets there. Christmas will help. Especially because it looks like Frozen 2 is a very weekend/holidays-heavy movie (big increase on 1st Sat, and doing really well on Thanksgiving week).
  17. catlover
    That's very possible. In fact, that's what my Japanese friends would usually do. Back when I lived in Japan, they would made me wait for the discount day to go to the movie together. Meanwhile, I always got foreign student discount everyday.

    The main demographic of Frozen is family, with small children. When do you think they prefer to go to the movie? 4pm to 9pm? Or 10am to 4pm, before the sun sets? Remember, you cannot generalize that for every movie. It depends on the demographic of the movie.
  19. catlover
    It was on its way to challenge Spirited Away. It at least could have beaten Titanic. But we will never know.
  20. catlover
    Yes I was talking about this weekend. And maaaybe next weekend. That's why I mentioned spring break. After that, I think everybody knows it's almost impossible to have the same kind of run as the first movie.
  21. catlover
    The first Frozen was released during the spring break I think, so weekdays were stronger. While Frozen 2 will have stronger weekend (Sat-Sun).
  22. catlover
    Why are you forcing your belief? Besides, the biggest elephant ever is still an elephant. In a venn diagram, it's a subset. So how is the biggest blockbuster not a blockbuster? I don't get it. Please elaborate?

    Frozen II OW estimate: $6.2m, or around 1.94m adm Some notes: - Biggest OW ever for animated films - Already beat the first Frozen's $2.7m total - Will easily beat Minions ($8.8m) to be the biggest animated film ever - Will be the first animated film ever that crosses $10m
  24. catlover
    Yes, but not that fast. It will make $12m+ in the end, which is more than 4x the first movie. Also, animated films since Frozen in Indonesia: Minions (2015) - $8.8m Incredibles 2 (2019) - $8m TS4 (2019) - $6.2m Big Hero 6 (2014) - $6m Despicable Me 3 (2017) - $6m As you can see, despite the growing market, the animated film record has not been broken for 4 years! Should've added this: TS4 (2019) - $6.2m vs TS3 (2010) - $2.4m DM 3 (2017) - $6m vs DM 2 (2013) - $6m vs DM (2010) - $1.6m KFP 3 (2016) - $5.3 vs KFP 2 (2011) - $5.6m vs KFP (2008) - $3.2m HTTYD 3 (2019) - $4.6 vs HTTYD 2 (2014) - $3.7m vs HTTYD (2010) - $1.56m WIR 2 (2018) - $4.6 vs WIR (2012) - $1m Only WIR 2 made more than 4x its predecessor.

    $6.2m in Indonesia! That's already the total of TS4. And also a superhero movie level of OW. For a Disney princess musical animated film lol. A combination of genres that are really hard to generate big box office numbers here. Will easily beat Minions's $8.8m (and TLK's $9m if you count it) to be the biggest animated film ever and the first one to cross $10m! Btw, the first Frozen made $2.7m 😂. Also, that Philippines $6.1m is even crazier.
