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

[catlover]

15.8b Yen sounds right. But I'll wait for the actuals later today.

 

Btw, thanks to the release of the deluxe version, Frozen soundtrack is #1 on Oricon album chart in Japan, up from #4, selling 152,946 to a total of around 300,000 (note: Oricon charts don't include digital sales.). That total brings Frozen from #13 to #3 on the yearly album chart. And that weekly sales number is bigger that Frozen's weekly sales in the US (around 107k).

I'm not really sure, but I think around 4 or 5pm Japan time. Now it's 3.30 pm.

 

Btw, according to an entertainment news program on Japanese TV, Frozen's total as of Tuesday is 15.9b Yen. Or around $156m+. I don't know how accurate that is, but usually they got the info from official reports.

 

ETA: Confirmed by this site, http://www.kogyotsushin.com/archives/alltime/, Frozen is #8 all time with 15.94b Yen.

New data revised by actuals definitively proves the singalong effect:

 

1)Toho x is as down as singalong admission are up.

2)Before singalong Toho admissions was always under or near 20% of total, after are always over 20% of total.

Thanks. Will TASM2 reach the first in Japan?

 

In dollar definitely not. In yen it's also unlikely, since it's gonna drop really big post Golden Week holiday this coming weekend. But it won't be that far. Last year IM3 made 2.57b Yen ($25.1m) total, and I think TASM2 is slightly ahead of it or pretty much the same at the same point. So TASM2 will probably finish with around 2.6b Yen (the first one was 3.08b Yen).

$ estimates for Frozen in Japan this Wednesday?

 

 

[Omni]

From the way I see it, Frozen getting a post-GW multiplier of 20x (or close to that) would arguably represent its biggest achievement.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but no movie in the recent history of cinema has ever broken this simple rule: every phenomenon (aka uber-leggy film) has to slow down sooner or later. Momentum can't be kept for half a year. In fact, movies like Titanic, Avatar, Spirited Away, ecc all show that it generally starts to slow down after a max of 2 months of release or so.

Let's take Titanic (dom) and Spirited Away (Japan) as the most extreme examples of movie phenomenon.

Titanic's overall multiplier: 21.5x // Titanic's post-VD multiplier: 8.5

Spirited Away's overall multiplier: 30x // SA's post-summer multiplier: 10x

In both cases, and in every other case of leggy movies (expanding films like the fat greek wedding don't count, for obvious reasons), at some point the multiplier reduces to much less than half of its overall multiplier. Also, stronger overall legs lead to a lower ratio, as the loss of the momentum has a bigger relative effects in that case.

Assuming a 7M 9th weekend and a 167M total, Frozen would gross 230M using Spirited Away's ratio. And that's Spirited Away's ratio, not Ratatouille's. 230M would also be it's total gross with a 30x multiplier, the limit so far in Japan.

 

20x would put Frozen in a league on its own and would definitely make it the craziest box office run of all time.

Also, that's why I think it won't get close to 300. Titanic and Spirited Away probably suggest the presence of a structural limit.
