Zootopia is really behaving like a mini-Frozen so far (obviously it won't hold as well that one all through).

[Jason]

I was expecting to see the OS-Japan drop this week due to Angry Birds, although not to ~$2M. I'm not going to try and make any OS-Japan estimates until tomorrow, however, when the actuals come in.

 

In any case, after this weekend's performance in Japan, I'm a lot less worried about a few millions here or there from elsewhere.

[Quigley]

UPDATE: According to Deadline, the Japan weekend gross is $3.8M (obviously underestimated), which means the OS-J gross is $0.9M. Not as severe a drop as $0.7M and I agree wiith you, Foul01, that it will likely revise the number upwards tomorrow. Still $612M OS-J seems just a tad unlikely atm (even when including Turkey).

I don't think there's really any competition until July, when Alice 2 opens.

And even that is questionable as competition.

 

On a side note, it will take advantage of the 1st of the month discount and open on a Friday rather than a Saturday.

 

Questionable as in it's not attracting the same audience or questionable as in it won't make that much money? Because the first one made a whopping 134 million dollars.

I'm skeptical about the success of the new Alice movie. That's all I'm saying.

Zootopia's run is more impressive than Civil War and TJB because it's an original film. Not trying to badmouth CW and TJB, they're doing exceptionally well. Last year, I found Inside out to have the most impressive run, better than TFA, because it was an original film and its concept was too complex and unattractive to audiences.

Great hold by Zootopia, 1 billions is very likely

You meant Alice 1 made $334M domestic?

This is the Japanese thread, 134M is what it made in Japan.

　*1　**5089　ズートピア(Zootopia)

　*2　**4374　殿、利息でござる！(Tono, risoku de gozaru)

 

It's not past noon in Japan, and already Zootopia has taken the lead this Monday. Maybe it will be a weekday film as well.

Alice will definitely do well in Japan.

 

Japan has a thing for fairy tales, the fanciful, the weird, and royalty... and Alice has all of them.

You can see it in all the derivative works of Anime and Manga based on Alice in Wonderland.

 

Alice 1 was terrible yet it still made 134M in Japan... Alice 2 will need to suck really really hard not to make big money.

At the end of the run I've noticed a lot of smaller countries are late on reporting. The weekend can appear low, if there is a midweek report, that tends look high. I think you'll see a higher number later in the week.

 

Flat to OW after a holiday week. It is a mini Frozen. You can't come up with weekly multiplier when it's flat. The best thing to do is to assume 25% drops at some point and use that as baseline. At least 3x more this week's , sat- Fri total. to be made after this thursday. $17-19m more minimum. 50m+ locked. Anything beyond is hard to predict until next weekends performance.

 

Alice took part in the 3d phenomenon,  was the second one after avatar and made 134m due to a 77¥ to a $ XR, which would be $95m today and only $70m without the high percentage of 3d surcharges. I doubt A2 clears $50m

As of 1:55 PM Japan time, Zootopia has fallen to second place. At the rate it is going, we should be seeing an increase compared to last Monday.

Weekend admissions UL + 28% (due the Toho discounts the market share of Mimorin is higher)
