How do you know the presales of Zootopia, anyways?

In japan?

Only way is to check the reserved seating at TOHO cinemas

Ah. Can you do that without email registration?

Yes

I'm guessing Japan's total will be around $80 million, but since Zootopia has surprised on a huge level, it could do even more. I believe Zootopia can get to a billion.

[cannastop]

Looks like the Japanese audience adores Zootopia.

Unless Zootopia exceeds expectations in Japan greatly, it will fall short of $1 billion.

 

BTW, Zootopia currently has a 4.48/5 on Yahoo Movies Japan with 101 votes.

 

Big Hero 6 has 4.15/5 with 2,483 votes.

Yeah, the most likely scenario in Japan is a multiplier around 10 or 11 so a $50-55M total there for a WW total of $980-985M.

[Finnick]

Now ZOO stands at 890M WW. To add on its run 27 DOM + 33 WW (without Japan) = 960m

Needs only 40M from Japan to cross 1B

1B is locked unless the Japan bioxoffice comes short of 40M.

Extremely unlikely.

You are so pessimist.

[Cynosure]

It still has Turkey in June. That could bring in a few million, between $3M and $5M.

You realize that this movie has been out since February in about 20 markets, right? It can't go much further than where it is now.

Frozen was heavily marketed in Japan, marketing budget probably more than $30M...It was bound to succeed.

 

Bound to succeed, perhaps (as an original foreign animated feature in Japan? ), but succeed the way that it did, no way!

I don't see why Zootopia can't make what Big Hero 6 made in Japan ($76m).

 

That's a lot of money for Japan at the current exchange rate, and these two movies may be perceived rather differently.  I'm not saying that it can't gross more, I'm just saying that whatever made Big Hero 6 gross so much (and with such a huge multiplier) may not apply to Zootopia--what the latter does it will do on its own (Disney/WDAS branding aside).

In Germany Zoo managed to increase despite the Opening of JB. Where drops in other countries that bad?

 

The drop in NA (43%), for one, wouldn't be bad for most movies, but it was for an exceptionally leggy one like Zootopia.  I'm usually one to downplay the effects of competition ("cannibalization"), but in this case I think it was pretty clear that The Jungle Book impacted every other movie (except for BvS, which would have dropped like a stone anyway ).

Also Big Hero 6 did so well in Japan and China and with how well Zoo did in China, it would make sense that it'd do gangbusters in other east Asian countries like South Korea and soon hopefully Japan

 

These are three very different cultures, so in general I think that very little can be taken for granted.  For example, there have been many western animated features that performed well in either Japan (usually Pixar or WDAS) or South Korea (usually DreamWorks), but not both, and based on a more limited set of data, the same seems to apply to China.

It is not likely to earn more than $15M after this weekend. 

But Japan could over-perform so ...

He was just being realistic. It'll go aroung 930 million WW max without Japan. Will make around 970-1B WW depending on Japan total.

I'm going to have to disagree strongly. Zootopia doesn't have direct competition until Angry Birds on May 20.

 

And maybe Ratchet and Clank, but that movie is going to flop hard.

When I said $15M it is domestic, not global.

Say what you will about live-action vs animation but Alice 1 is around the corner.

And Alice 2 is more than a month away.

Japanese audiences seem to be reacting to this movie in a similar way as all audiences.

 

"Surpringly adult."

 

"Too scary for children."

 

"Better than Frozen!"

 

"I love the bunny!"

 

"Nick is handsome."

 

Also, the average of 4.48/5 with 161 votes is higher than Big Hero 6's average, and it's higher than its main competition, the latest Detective Conan movie. One of the reviewers even mentioned Conan in the review.
