JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW

[Rsyu]

Underwhelming for TASM2, Conan drops as expected.

Nice increase for frozen $8m+ weekend is locked. 

[fmpro]

Yeah. Not good for Spidey. Only hope to break 500 mill++ OS is now china..I hate to admit. But its not doing great..

That's what they get for unnecessarily rebooting a franchise which had only ended 5 years earlier.

[Fullbuster]

So, where is Frozen now in $?

 

By the way, given we're on the Japanese thread I think you should watch this WONDERFUL anime : Magi.

 

 

I just finished watching the season 2 and it's absolutely fantastic

[Rsyu]

TASM2's main problem in Japan isn't that it's an unnecessary reboot (even if that's what it is) TASM doing OK business proves that the spiderman franchise was still popular. 

The main problem for it now is overheated competition. It's a survival of the fittest for showtimes and seats this weekend and fittest TASM2 clearly is not

Based on those early Toho numbers It'll be lucky to open to half of what TASM did

And if it doesn't got a great oppening it will faint away very fast, cause like you said frozen and otherers are killing it.

From Corpse:"Yeah, it still isn't losing any momentum whatsoever. It's very likely to remain in 1st until mid or late June. Nothing in May poses a threat. And who knows, it might even stay there until the July 19-20 weekend. So potentially 16-18 weeks at #1. Also, calling Frozen by "Frozatar" is a big understatement. It's been tracking 20-25% ahead of Avatar for the past month and will out-gross it in a couple weeks, plus it'll have sold more tickets in a just matter of days (Tuesday/Wednesday most likely). It looks like it's going to become the second or third biggest imported release ever, behind just Titanic and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and it might even challenge the latter. Beating both of them in admissions actually looks possible, too. I've been hesitant on calling ¥20 billion (~$200 million) but... it's become more likely than not.And The Amazing Spider-Man 2 looks headed for borderline bomb territory so far today. If it only does 20,000 or so admissions at Toho for the day, then that means maybe 100,000 or so for the day overall. So 200-225,000 admissions and about ¥300 million ($3 million) for the weekend... down nearly 50% compared to the already underwhelming opening of the first film. Partners the Movie 3 is actually looking stronger."Just awesome for Frozen. I hope it does it.I'm glad Spidey is tanking.

Another weekend above 8M! Hell yeah!

9M is still in play, 8.5+ very likely. Hoping for a stronger evening and 59k admissions. What was toho's exact number last Sat at 7pm?

 

I'm glad Spidey is tanking.

Me too!

Come on, evening!!!

saturationDubbed 47% S-A 44%3Dd 39%I was hoping to see S-A higher. Jury still out on whether that will stay. Need to see it increase tomorrow, exemplifying WOM. A decrease will prove just a flash in the pan. They left 3D subbed on the TCX screen. 33%. Lost 800 tix sales there. Dubbed regular sold out on TCX 800 tix.the morning was heavier as I noted a possiblity. Early S-A 3Dd hype or women in the afternoon chose RB2 which gained 2400 ticket sales since 1430 vs frozen dubbed. RB2 has 60% more seats than dubbed though.9m is still feasible w sun eve bump

Frozen will surpass Harry Potter for all time #2 foreign. It's not dropping at all. Probably will play in theaters till end of the year.

Yeah, they were hoping for Golden Week bump, even if it has to face strong competitions, hence the unusual earlier release date than US. But they didn't see Frozen coming, nobody did. Although I still think it will open with more than half of TASM's OW. I mean, under 300m yen would be embarrassing.
