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

[seduh]

go cindy! $500 WW is your final goal. Very good for F7 and the other movies. Frozen numbers are amazing, we will never know when it will happen again

[Cynosure]

It does slightly better than them on normal weekdays but it gets easily beaten on weekends and holiday weekdays. I'm pretty sure the gap will be widened by the time Golden Week ends.

It will happen again, and more, when Frozen 2 will be released.

[Cynosure]

Pretty clear that Cinderella will be #1 this WE now. I thought wednesday's lead was perhaps because of Ladies' Day but the movie has a huge lead today too.

Some actuals:

 

American Sniper 2,235BYen (19,2M$)

Into the Woods 2,356Byen (20,3M$)

NaTM3 1,536BYen (13,21M$)

First saturday sales are looking like it will be a close battle for #1 between Cinderella and Conan this week-end. The fact that monday is off means sunday evening and night business will be busy which could help Cinderella a bit.

FF7 at 21-22m by Thursday gotta a shot at 3om?

 

I'd say yes. Furious 7 legs are being pretty solid in Japan

[scabab]

Hey Edroger just wanted to say you made a mistake with DBZ's gross because you added Friday's gross onto your Wednesday cume figures.

So it should be at ¥2.229,11.

[catlover]

Loving FF7's run so far. It's rare to see a Hollywood action movie having great legs in Japan these days.

No Saturday estimate?

[Cynosure]

He'll probably provide weekend estimates. Looks like none of the movies will see an increase though. Definitely no Frozen this year.

[edroger3]

Weekend looks like:

 

1 -Cinderella      390K   525MY -10 (sunday bigger than OW)
2 -Conan            325K   400MY -20
4 -Dragon Ball Z 220K   300MY -35
6 -Furious 7        150K   190MY -55

[Cynosure]

Kind of disappointing that none of the movies will stay flat or increase...Hopefully it's because people will be going in high numbers during the next 3 days.

 

Huge drop for Furious.

Speaking of Cinderella, its market share in 5 chains was very high in OW (44%) and the same for Toho only (23%); so, if it returns on average (40% / 20%) for this week, the total could be up from OW. 

[lab276]

Weekend looks like:

 

1 -Cinderella      390K   525MY -10 (sunday bigger than OW)

How is this possible? If Sunday is bigger than last weekend, shouldn't it be up dramatically?

[Cynosure]

Its saturday was down 20-25%.

The last 3 years both sat n sun were holidays hence the bump

Sat -22% / Sun + 5%.
