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

[pepsa]

Without a doubt, they are flocking it to get that Let it go Experience and visual beauty thing, also they really

feeling Disney Princesses over in Japan right now. Mal is not even close to Frozen or Dragon2 in Quality so its going

to be interesting on how the legs go in Japan.

Godzilla was even worst than Maleficent so .... No lags for the little monster

I think Maleficent  will not do better than yesterday....it's likely it will do worse

But Frozen First Sunday did much better than Saturday...

[supernova]

It looks all numbers of Sunday except the final time are higher than Saturday's, doesn't it? I mean Maleficent...

Very close. They have the same average ticket price?

No , Frozen opened on March and Male  on July..

Japan enforced a new tax policy which stipulated that the consumption tax rate rise 3%..

So, the movie ticket price has increased 100 Yen since 2014 April...

Yeah, people here were really worried the price hike would hurt Frozen's run in Japan. It really didn't effect it at all. Japanese people will go see a movie if they think it is worth the higher cost.

Though I'm an American who has never been to Japan, it seems that the Japanese are willing to spend more on "stuff." This is why laserdisc took off much more in Japan than the U.S., for example. The Lost Decade and the Graying don't seem to have hurt this (much).

MALEFICENT debuted w/ $7.1M in Japan, finally ending the 16 week run at #1 for FROZEN.

[Cynosure]

Third highest OW of the year then.

[Rsyu]

EoT OW?

[Olive]

EoT OW?

2-day OW about 30% of Malef.

3-day with previews may be $3-3.5M.

[edroger3]

MALEFICENT debuted w/ $7.1M in Japan, finally ending the 16 week run at #1 for FROZEN.

7,1m$ would be a 34,5 tk1m multiplier. I think as usual Disney undestimates data. Should be 7,4-7,6. We'll see tomorrow

[Annayya]

Frozen is now at $241 million.

How much will it make before the end of its run ?

[superstancer]

hows the WOM for EoT??? compared to malfo

-Toho Cinemas Biggest Opening Weekends since 2013

 

Saturday admissions were above Frozen and Monsters University, but unlike those films, Maleficent saw a decrease on Sunday and ended up just below them for the weekend.  

 

With 120,498 admissions at Toho Cinemas, it should have between 550,000-600,000 admissions for the weekend.  It's hard to say what the avg. ticket price is, but it shouldn't be too high since the 3D share is really, really low.  

 

I think it missed ¥800 million ($8 million), and will come in around ¥760/770 million ($7.4/7.5 million) in the morning.  Disney is reporting a $7.1 million opening weekend, but that honestly looks a little too low.  And they tend to underestimate most weeks.  Regardless though, this is the best opening for a live-action film since 2012, and a total of ¥5 billion ($50 million) is still looking good.

 

I'm working on the Weekend Estimates now, and will go into detail for Edge of Tomorrow then.

Wow I haven't visited this forum for a looong time. Told you Maleficent would be big. I'm thinking at least $50m total. Very interested in Godzilla's OW in a couple of weeks. I hope it's a success, for the sake of Hollywood movies in Japan.

 

Not exactly. People don't pay for a movie because they liked of another.Like it or not, a movie only have good word of mouth if people liked it.Maleficent is even bigger than Frozen in Latin America, and Frozen was a big hit in France, Germany, Australia and South Korea, the four markets where Maleficent numbers are good but not great.People liked Alice -it would be a hit anyway - but I agree that it only got 1billion because of 3D fever.Clash of the Titans is a stupid explosions movie. This kind of movies allways have public (Michael Bay says hello). But I agree that it was bigger because of 3D fever too.

 

That's true, but you forget that in Japan, Frozen is not just any movie. It's making $240m+. It's a rare phenomenon. You can't compare that to its performance in other countries. Also, it's not because they love Frozen, but because the Disney/princess hype from Frozen made people there interested in Maleficent. The trailers and promos were attached with Frozen. And when it's attached to something as big as Frozen, it's hard for people not to notice it. So yeah, I think Frozen's huge success really helped Maleficent, especially with its OW.
