That doesn't matter. If you look at past summer weekends you'll see 10 movies have 300 or more screens. That more than enough to have 3m weekends and 6m midweeks. Of those 10 movies, a majority do less than 2m for the weekend. Frozen would have no problem keeping 400+. Also most weekends do less than 25m. Smaller than the GW weekends, that's 25% from a hug saturation point. Plenty of excess capacity for frozen to do well.

Nothing will matter if the rumor that Frozen will be pulled completely from theaters with the DVD/Blue Ray release comes to pass.

I want to cry... Literally.

 

DreamWorks Animation just announced release dates for Croods 2, Madagascar 4 and Puss in Boots 2. There is clearly no hope left in this world.

Regarding selling the DVD while the movie is hot. This debate went on in the domestic thread when the DVD was released in March. some people think that you make more money by selling the DVD sooner. here is an observation. Japan doesn't release their DVD's until about a year later and have had a few movies enter the top 10 all time in admissions in the last 15 years and the population has not gone up. Domestic used to release DVDs 9 months to a year out in the 90's you had much larger box office and there was just one entry into the top 10 all time admissions Titanic. in last 15 years 0. Imagine if they released the DVDs later like Japan, maybe Avengers and avatar make it into the top 10 and that would be over a billion dollars. If they make 300 million in DVD sales wouldn't they get those sales at 9 months after the release while making 300m more at the BO like ?. I really do think they cannibalize there own revenue just to get it to the bottom line sooner.

Well, we can't accuse them of lacking ambition.  Sense, yes, but not ambition.

[mfantin65]

I say they dont sell over 2m in dvds. They will have given up more in bo rev for that

[Omni]

At this point, I wonder if Frozen can still overtake Titanic. Even SA in USD is not a sure thing now, as its drops are getting bigger.

[Mojoguy]

No way we can stop this unless you are secretly Bob Iger..

[mfantin65]

Japan loves their crappy disaster films.

[Olive]

Seems Noah will have a decent OW in Japan.

I think Frozen will still be the winner of weekend boxoffice...

Noah is not a family-oriented movie....and judging from tomorrow's presale

the difference between frozen and Noah will not be that big....

At least, Frozen still have the most seats and biggest screens...

 

BTW, Japanese singers of " Love is an open door" will perform on TV (MUSIC FAIR ) on this Saturday night...

Hope this can boost Sunday's box office
