I am surprised the bump was so big yesterday being the last day. The evening was strong considering it was a school night. The first SB monday hat a 42% bump. I thought at best 5-7k was SB. 15k otherwise for Mon. Maybe many youths went early on the last day. hopefully the evening drop is less.. the true barometer for the week will be the ladies tomorrow.

I'm not ready for this kind of number

its not bad.. it is at the low end of my expectations. that is only an average drop of 15% over 3 weeks. I also think its a little lower because many went to see it yesterday b4 vacation over and reduced today's demand. I think we have an over, then under the mean.I still think the midweek comes in at 6-7m. Wed will give us a better idea what the true drop will be for the rest of the week.

Meh, I was hoping for Tuesday to be a little inflated due to SB ending the previous day (like post-Christmas or post-Easter numbers in NA), but it looks like it went the opposite way...

 

It grossed 9M net on its first weekdays...with an extra day of Spring Break and coming from a higher weekend it should at least make 7M from Mon-Fri. Everything below that would be disappointed.

Well, yesterday was the last day of spring break, so a bigger drop is actually expected today. Besides, people (especially women) probably wait until tomorrow to see it.

Why would you expect it to be inflated? It was Monday that was supposed to be inflated for being the last day of spring break, and it was. For many people, today is probably the first day of school/college/work (academic year begins in April and ends the following March), they have a lot of things to think about. It's not exactly a day to go to the movies. So of course it's gonna drop . Also, Coming from a higher weekend does not mean it will have higher weekdays, especially when the weekend was inflated for being the last weekend of spring break.

 

I think we're just too spoiled with Frozen's number. I mean, it's the 4th Tuesday! A couple of days ago we were talking about whether it's gonna increase for the 3rd weekend in a row or not, and then disappointed when it dropped 3% lol. Tell that to the people in other threads and they will be scratching their heads . I'm thinking at least 14-15m week which is very good for a post-SB week.

My prediction is as follows:

Mon: 1.4~1.5m  Tue: 0.9 m~1m  Wed: 2m  Thu~Friday : 1.8~2m  Weekends : 7~7.5m

So, it might be a 13~13.5 m fifth week.

I do agree we're now spoiled by Frozen's performance and reached a point where it has to be great every single day.

And I knew it was obviously going to drop from Monday, just thought the drop could have been smaller. It likely was just wishful thinking with only some domestic patterns kind of supporting it.

 

But then again, I thought that toho number would translate to 0.8M or so...if LABA's right, 0.95M would be quite solid and satisfying after all.

I think Friday will be higher than that. Wednesday too. Although your numbers seem to make more sense.

[LABAS]

I would rather make more conservative prediction so as not to be disappointed.

You have doomed yourself to mfantin's wrath with those words

[Ray]

So it should still be able to easily pass Skyfall WW by sometime this weekend...

[Omni]

Yeah yeah, that's right, but...

 

...I want Iron Man's head!!!

[chuck0]

Yeah yeah, that's right, but......I want Iron Man's head!!!

hehe... mfantin65 really got to you

[Omni]

Lol, a little

 

But it's mostly due to 1.124B (= #6 worldwide) being locked. Now caution and conservative reasoning are over, and the higher Frozen goes the better. Iron Man 3 is the only target left.

[Rsyu]

It would be pretty epic though taking IM3's 2013 crown so late into 2014...well I can dream can't I?

[chuck0]

Yep that would be the ultimate achievement... a fitting finish for an epic run... and even if it does not work out #6 ww isnt bad either :-)

03 (03) Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai (Toei) Week 2

08 (--) One Third (Kadokawa) DEBUT
09 ((08) God's Medical Records 2 (Toho) Week 3
10 (--) Cherry Blossoms Bloom (Toei) DEBUT

>Frozen win its 4th-consecutive week at the box-office, dropping only 7% to earn ¥850,911,950 ($8.3 million) and 642,489 admissions. This made its avg. ticket price for the weekend to ¥1,324, up ¥48 or 3.8% over last weekend after the consumption tax increase went into effect. The increase is about half of what tickets were raised by, so as expected I don't think it'll have a huge impact on the overall box office. Although 3-4%, if that becomes the norm from here on out, is still a big increase after 22 years of no change whatsoever.

After 24 days in release, Frozen has reached an incredible ¥7.71 billion ($75.2 million) and 6.35 million admissions, climbing into the Top 60 (59th) Highest-Grossing Films of All-Time already.

This bests also Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End at reaching 6 million admissions (24 days vs 27 days) and becomes Disney's fastest film to achieve the milestone. Frozen also earns the 5th-biggest fourth-weekend and 6th-highest four-week total since 2001, and the top spots on both lists for an imported-film after the first two Harry Potter films.

>Doraemon enjoyed a healthy Spring Break. After 30 days in release, the 34th installments in the franchise has grossed ¥3.16 billion ($30.9 million) and 2.92 million admissions. Doraemon really slows down post-Spring Break, but it's still tracking ahead of every film in the franchise except for last year's (the highest-grossing film in the franchise), so it'll have no problem exceeding ¥3.5 billion ($35 million) to become the 2nd-highest grossing film in the series.

>One Third was the weekend's top opener, but only manages 8th-place. Playing on 211 screens, it earned ¥63,453,200 ($616,000) and 44,491 admissions. Its avg. ticket price was a very, very high ¥1,426, so it was clearly affected by the ticket price increase of ¥100. The other opener on the other hand, wasn't in the slightest.

>Cherry Blossoms Bloom barely manages to open in the Top 10, grossing ¥26,013,700 ($253,000) and 21,759 admissions on 148 screens. Now its avg. ticket price was only ¥1,195, well below the national average and clearly not affected by the tax hike very much. Its audience would be primarily older people, so it just looks like the tax increase will only affect certain films.

Haha , I don't think I make myself clear.

My prediction is that Thur~Fri 1.8m~2m in total.

So, 1.4 + 0.9 + 2 + 1.8 =5.7 m ( I hope this is the worst case)

5.7 m + 7~7.5m = 12.7m~13.2 m (Again, I hope I can see 14m )
