>Galaxy Turnpike fends off a trio of new wide openers (which all debuted within 3,175 admissions of each other!) to claim its second week atop the box-office. Over its second weekend frame, Koki Mitani's latest comedy sold 156,502 tickets, bringing its 9-day admissions above 540,000.

>Pan had to settle for a second place debut, and quite the mediocre start it had, too. Joe Wright's big-budget adaptation of the well-known tale only sold 121,467 tickets over the weekend across 672 screens.

There wasn't much expected of this one, but with Hugh Jackman on board and the significant screen count, it should have been a guaranteed ¥1 billion earner. It'll be in for a long, uphill struggle if it's to achieve that modest milestone now, however.

>My Love Story!! comes in third place, and it, too, came in a bit below expectations. The live-action adaptation of the manga/anime sold 118,921 tickets on 292 screens in its debut weekend.

And again, like Pan, this one probably should have been a fairly safe ¥1 billion earner, and it'll be fairly unlikely to achieve said milestone as well. It is important to note, though, that this genre can spawn above average legs, so there's a small chance it could eventually reach the mark.

>Princess Pretty Cure The Movie: Go! Go!! Splendid Triple Feature!!!, the latest entry in the Pretty Cure film franchise, debuted in-line with expectations. The 12th film in the magical girl film series bested this year's Spring release in admissions by selling 118,292 tickets across 211 screens (+5%), but fell 1% shy of its opening in terms of revenue.

The film franchise has fallen slightly from its peak during 2011/2012, but it has since stabilized.

>Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin II fell shy of its predecessor's debut, but still managed a very impressive weekend take on a mere 15 screens. The second film of a planned three film origin story, sold 42,119 admissions over the weekend, averaging 2,808 people per screen.

Outside the Top 10:

>The Anthem of the Heart exceeded the ¥1 billion milestone, becoming Aniplex's second film to reach the mark. It'll eventually outgross Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day and become the studio's highest-grossing film.

>No Longer Heroine overtakes American Sniper to become Warner Bros.'s highest-grossing film of the year. This is the fourth-consecutive year that a local film released through Warner Bros. has become their highest-grossing film of the year.

>Good for both Mozu and Grasshopper. They were neck-and-neck most of the day (seldom did 1,000 admissions separate them until the evening showings), but Mozu pulled ahead in the evening.

>I think Grasshopper will win Sunday, so this will remain a close contest to see which film debuts at #1. Both films are aiming for ¥200 million or a bit more, respectable for this time of year.

>Everest is performing fairly well, and Japan should end up one of its strongest overseas markets. I see it trailing just UK, Russia, and Germany at the moment.

>The Monuments Men, just barely a wide release, makes the Top 10 here, and I believe it'll manage to crack the weekend Top 10 now. Terminal on the other hand, not so likely.

10 (--) ¥42,209,200 ($343,000), 0, ¥55,348,400 ($449,000), The Monuments Men (Presido) DEBUT

>Mozu, a joint collaboration from TBS and WOWOW, debuted atop the weekend box office, once again displaying distributor Toho's dominance over the market.

The police drama novel turned TV drama sold 170,374 tickets over the weekend across 322 screens. This bests the opening weekend of another recent police TV drama film, S: The Last Policeman - Recovery of Our Future by 6%, and should allow the film to achieve the ¥1 billion milestone, but not much more.

>Grasshopper settles for a second place debut, and while missing the top spot and failing to reach the ¥200 million mark, it still delivered Shochiku's best debut this year for a live-action release.

The film adaptation of the best-selling novel "Gurasuhoppa" by Kotaro Isaka, sold 147,275 tickets over the weekend on 314 screens. It's a decent start, but expectations were a bit higher than where it landed since it'll probably just barely make the ¥1 billion milestone.

>Everest comes in at third place, and opened quite well, and probably higher than Toho-Towa was expecting given its modest screen count. There's a chance it'll also reach the ¥1 billion milestone, giving 2015 yet another successful film.

The true story 3D event managed to sell almost 100,000 tickets (96,220) over the weekend frame on 424 screens (just 225 locations, however), bringing its 3-day total admissions up to 120,301. The film also achieved an incredibly high avg. ticket price of ¥1,705 over the weekend, indicating a very strong 3D share (probably over 80%), which is about 10% higher than the normal 3D release.

>The Monuments Men finally reached the shores of Japan, and actually earned itself a fairly decent debut.

The small independent distributor, Presido, picked up the film and must be pleased with it making the Top 10 and selling 42,119 tickets over the weekend across only 152 screens. This isn't anything to really celebrate, but for Presido, it's quite good.

Outside the Top 10:

>Terminal posted a poor opening, debuting in 12th place on ¥35,293,400 ($287,000) with 28,979 admissions on 200 screens. Toei continues to struggle in the live-action film category.
>No Longer Heroine exceeded 2 million admissions after 8 weeks in release.

Penguins of Madagascar gets a theatrical release in Japan? Yay!

 

But no HTTYD2....  Oy vey.

[maxima]

OK, just one VERY important note on SW, as presale of premiere had started today (should have one on SW thread but reminder)

 

Some TOHO cinema (confirmed 8) branch has raised the price 200 yen (i.e. 2000 yen per ticket) for normal tickets.

What box office for this weekend ?

What box office for this weekend ?

Japan is still holiday today so might got 3 day report instead, but some interesting data on Monday.

 

From usual locations (incl AEON), Raintree finished slightly higher Girls and Panzar, and Little Prince not far behind on Sat/Sun ONLY.

 

But this however, changed drastically on Monday as Little Prince takes big lead on Monday while Raintree and Girls and Panzar were under performing compared to first two days (both two were even lower than holdovers, particularly the latter as seeing some site running out of gifts on Monday). Or more accurately saying, Little Prince had a bit rough start on Saturday, but leading in Sunday and Monday.

 

So I believe the final of this week is

Sat-Sun:

1- Raintree

2- Little Prince

3- Girls and Panzar

 

I believe Little Prince could finished 2nd due to Girls and Panzar's release is too limited (under 90, and particularly lacking AEON and non-usual participation). So my prediction is either Little Prince ranked 2nd in Gross only, or both gross and attendance

 

Sat-Mon:

1- Little Prince

2- Raintree

3- Mozu

 

P.S. Hunger Game performed very poorly on 10th place. Forgot about that.

Edited November 24, 2015 by maxima

[maxima]

Followup:

I forgot to account the high price of pre-sale ticket of Girls and Panzar (the most expensive one is 3500 yen). So they came first instead in terms of gross in smallest margin for Sat-Sun.

 

Sun-Mon is a clear win for Little Prince through.

Weekend actuals came in a bit higher than expected again this weekend, and while it's the weakest weekend of the year, it still produced three debuts above ¥100 million.

>Girls und Panzer: The Movie surprises and snags the weekend victory despite playing in limited release. The film marks the first Showgate release this decade to debut atop the box-office.

The first film in the Girls und Panzer series sold 84,752 admissions over the weekend across 77 screens, which wasn't good enough for rank first in admissions, but the high avg. ticket price of ¥1,515 allowed it to achieve the victory in revenue.

>Raintree Country debuts in second place over the weekend, but in terms of weekend admissions, it managed to come achieve first place.

The film adaptation of Hiro Arikawa novel delivered a nice opening, selling 91,726 tickets over the weekend across 190 screens, giving Showgate the not only a first place film over the weekend in revenue, but also in terms of weekend admissions.

>The Little Prince, the French 3D motion-capture/CGI animated release, settles for a third place debut, but still posted a respectable start.

Released via Warner Bros. in the market, the film adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's novel of the same name sold 82,898 tickets on 569 screens. Since the source material is known in Japan, expectations were favorable and while the debut is decent, it's probably receiving mixed results for the studio. However, it's important to note that for a imported-animated film (non-Disney), the debut is fairly strong.

>Ghost Theatre delivered an expected poor opening, only selling 44,148 admissions on 266 screens over the weekend.

>The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 debuts in a disappointing 10th place, which is the second-lowest weekend ranking in the series. However, while the weekend ranking is disappointing, its weekend take did improve upon that of its predecessor.

The final film of the Hunger Games series sold 38,430 tickets across 252 screens, up 16% in admissions over its predecessor's opening weekend (and up 17% in revenue), also, its 3-day total saw a fair 4% increase, too.

>Digimon Adventure tri. Chapter 1 - Reunion debuted in 11th place on only 10 screens, earning a very impressive ¥43,637,900 ($356,000). The film sold through over 75% of its weekend admissions, and achieved a 2-day PSA of 4,363,790 ($35,565).

Anyone got any ideas how sales are going for the big Force vs Yokai showdown yet? Not ashamed to say I actually quite enjoyed the first Yokai Watch movie, but always get startled when I hear the voice of Eden Jaeger coming out of something that isn't Eren.

ROTS made 82 million in 2005, that is way to much for 2015 ?

 

Because it seems the be the only market where SW7 will not increase over ROTS

Yeah. And LOTR made 100m back in the day. And then TH barely managed 20m. The point is SW making 80m again I think would be a miraculous win.

What a welcoming sight after the record low weekend the box-office experienced last week.

>Spectre came in a bit lower than estimates, but still delivered an impressive start.

007's latest outing sold 262,663 tickets over the weekend frame across 591 screens, which brought its 6-day admissions up to a nice 632,959.

The weekend debut is 20% below Skyfall's, but Spectre had a unique opening, with widespread previews last weekend (which were actually higher than its opening weekend) and the Friday opening. As long as it can maintain a sufficient amount of screens/showtimes in two weeks when Star Wars 7 and Yo-Kai Watch 2 debut, it should be aiming for ¥2.5 billion ($20 million), and still has a chance to match Skyfall's ¥2.75 billion total.

>The Peanuts Movie got off to an unspectacular start, but as far as non-Disney/Pixar imported animated films go, the debut is pretty solid.

The Peanuts Gang's 3D adaptation sold 114,709 admissions over the weekend on 653 screens. Like Spectre, it's final total will depend on how many screens/showtims it'll be able to hold onto in two weeks against Star Wars 7 and Yo-Kai Watch 2, but it should be able to reach the ¥1 billion (just under $10 million) milestone.

>Persona Non Grata came in third place in terms of gross, but it actually edged out The Peanuts Movie to place second in terms of weekend admissions.

The biopic based on the true story of a Japanese diplomat assisting Jewish refugees during WW2 sold 118,453 admissions over the weekend on 329 screens. And again, like the two debuts above it, its final total will be determined on what happens to it and other holdovers in two weeks. There aren't many films targeting an older audiences this December, though, so it's chances of reaching the ¥1 billion mark look decent.

>Kainan 1890 really surprised me this morning when I saw its weekend figures. It came in much higher than estimates were suggesting, and even crossed the ¥100 million mark somehow.

The 1890 battleship disaster true story film managed to sell 88,295 tickets over the weekend across 309 screens. It's not a good opening, but it's certainly a highlight for distributor Toei considering how poorly their live-action films have performed over the past few years.

>High Speed! Free! Starting Days also came in above estimates, but it's not as surprising being a near limited release, which are always difficult to predict, and the fact that its ticket prices were likely to be high.

The animated prequel based on the Free! anime sold 67,829 tickets over the weekend on 120 screens. Not bad.
