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

[Cynosure]

Isn't that slightly disappointing for Cinderella ? It stayed flat on sunday and is about 20% below Maleficient at Toho.

 

Great holds for Conan and FF7. Not as good for DBZ but was expected. Maybe actuals will come in higher again.

Cinderella opens against  Conan, DBZ and FF7 in their 2nd weekend , Maleficent against Edge of tomorrow opening (250 MYen) and Frozen in its 17th weekend.

I suppose the chances of actuals increasing over estimates aren't as high as last week?

[Cynosure]

Good point. Some competition is good but to such an extent it might be a bit too much for Cinderella. Let's see how the legs do.

[catlover]

That's lower than I expected for Cinderella. But DBZ, Conan, and even FF7 are doing better than I thought they would. I think you're right, competition doesn't really matter in Japan, like what happened last weekend, but when it becomes to much, it will matters. Oh well, I hope Cinderella will have great legs.

The only thing that matters really is if the overall box office is up on last year, my guess is that it is but finding out is a pain so it'll have to be a mystery until January.

Cinderella opening comparable to BH6 is probably fine. It's got Golden Week coming up, so should hold up well. 50m+ should be in the cards.

In more good news for Disney, Cinderella twirled into Japan with a No. 1 opening and the biggest first-day and weekend for a Western release of 2015. The $4.8M bow was 112% above the opening of Oz: The Great And Powerful and 19% behind the start of Maleficent.

Fox International Productions’ Dragonball Z: Resurrection Of F held strongly in Japan with $3.76M on 646 screens, elevating its cume to $15.16M. That was good for the No. 2 spot behind the incoming Cinderella.

[Cynosure]

Those numbers seem awfully low...

[scabab]

That's what I thought and if DBZ is #2 then what happened to Conan? Estimates are off over ¥100 million for it?

I also don't see how a 53% drop would be holding strongly.

Could it be $4 76m instead of $ 3.76m ? Would make more sense.

[scabab]

I was wondering that too if maybe it was just a typo but then the $15.16 figure would have to be a typo too.

If Cinderella made that much less than estimates then its reasonable that DBZ would as well but it having a strong hold and being above Conan doesn't seem to fit.

I see an article on one site that says DBZ did $8.4 million according to deadline, then later somewhere else said $8.2 million according to Deadline which I remember it saying but no there's no mention of that and it says it did $8 million.

So maybe those figures aren't entirely accurate because they do get updated over time.

Cinderella grossed $8.5m to surge to $284m following a $4.8m number one debt in the final market of Japan.

while Fox International Productions’ Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F held well in Japan on $3.8m to climb to $15.2m after two sessions.

It can't be a mistake if two sites are saying the same.

Because it's the same source: Rentrak (which reports studio estimates).

This has Conan at 2 :

And at 1 for the weekly ranking :

It's admissions though.

Shouldn't the actuals be out now?

[edroger3]

Actuals for Cinderella lower than estimates: 419K adm - 556,1MYen (4,67M$), but sufficent to stay #1. Conan is #2, DBZ #3 and FF7 #4.

[Olive]

Cinderella OW 419,796 admissions; 556.1M yen

Where are you getting these figures from?
