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

[Quigley]

LOL. I think it's supposed to be ￥807.1 million not ￥871 million. They missed one 0. But the total seems correct.

 

LOL. They probably did miss the "0". However, the total gross is too high. 18.52 / 182.75 *100 = 101.34. No way that is the average exchange rate for Frozen's run. It's too low. It is the current exchange rate and, in other words, THR is as retarded as BOM, they use the latest weekend's exchange rate to calculate the total gross in dollars. I know this may sound disappointing but I think that is what all American BO websites do for individual country grosses. So we can never now what rank a film has in its country unless we know the gross in national currency.

[Quigley]

Just because Subers calculates the gross in a wrong way doesn't mean Disney does that too. Subers uses the total gross reported by Disney for overall OS gross, not what he would get if he added up all the individual country grosses as he calculated them.

 

That is why, if you add up the total grosses from each country on this website, you won't get $805.8M.

They have nothing to do with each other, the overall total is from the studio (eventually at least). But each market has its own source.Some older movies don't have any individual market data, but still have an OS total:http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=aladdin.htmhttp://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=goldeneye.htm

Yeah, but in an ideal situation, given that you have figures for all invidual territories, they should add up to that total. But they don't because, well... because Subers.

Just how long was Spirited Away in theaters in Japan? Can Frozen at least match that many weeks in theaters before it is released on video?

They've been doing that since long before Subers. It's not like it matters anyway.

BOM says Spirited Away was in theaters for 36 weeks. It's a shame Frozen won't even be in theaters for that long if the video release thing is legit.

avatar had 9months. that's typical in japan to delay dvd release

they would sell more dvd in December marketing it as the #1 all time movie in Japan. they lost 100m in net revenue

If Frozen legs are cut in Japan aswell because of that damn video release I want to write a really angry letter to Bob Iger

If that is the typical delay dvd release, that rumor is sounding more and more fake.

I hope so because I've feeling Frozen's going to push 400M.

The Japanese are actually interested in the new Godzilla film, hopefully it breaks out in it's home country.

Tangled[MovieNEX] will be re-released on July 16 in Japan.

But I can't find about Frozen anywhere.

Could it be that the advertisement was just a mistake, and the July date is only for Tangled video rerelease (to cash in on Frozen's success) and not for the actual Frozen video release date?

Omni is going to have an aneurism if its true.

At least, there isn't any information for Frozen's DVD/Blu-ray/MovieNEX schedule in WDSJ's official site.

Spirited Away was released in July and I remember seeing it in the theater in January the next year lol.

It's possible, because there are no announcements whatsoever from Disney about Frozen DVD/BluRay release date. That's why I found it weird when I saw that ad. I hope that's the case. I don't wanna see Frozen's legs getting cut by DVD release, again. Especially because unlike in North America where there was probably only $10-15m left in the tank, in Japan it could make another $50-100m, and break the all time record. If Frozen doesn't break it, I'm not sure there will be a movie in the future that can beat Spirited Away.
