So SH films are not popular in Japan then? also what genres are the most popular in Japan?

 

SH films are not very popular in Japan but Japanese anime, film specials of Japanese TV series and some notable Disney/Pixar animations are. It's a very very local-driven market.

I love how Forbes thinks Shin-Godzilla is going to make only $39m total. It looks like it's going to do well over that. @Corpse looking like it has a shot at possibly being at 35m by this weekend's end if my math is right, no?

11/8, japan national holiday, it appear that SLOP's first day is higher than dory's first day, illumination is indeed a great alternative for disney-pixar foreign animation in japan

[Olive]

Rough estimates:

SLOP 310-330M yen OD

Shin Gojira  200-205M

Dory/Jungle Book 180-185m

It was surprising to see Shin-Godzilla out gross Jungle Book on its opening day. Shin-Godzilla pulled in about $2.1m.

1.) SLOP 3.6m

2.) Shin-Godzilla 2.1m

3/4.) Dory/Jungle Book 1.9

 

6.) X-men 1.1m

 

These are general numbers. Might be off by a little.

hmm guess the plan to release TJB during the holiday season kinda backfired..

It's not like they had another place to release it.

I am shocked that The JB is not number one despite this type called Disney Live Action remakes do well and open number one.

[lab276]

Maybe the drawback is that it's part live action and it's also for kids, so the dubbing might look more awkward than if it was all animated. All the ads that I saw were in English. What does better normally dubs or subs?

not to mention the legend of tarzan, where concept art are similar for both, are still in....

[Cynosure]

Tarzan TJB doesn't have the cute looking princess like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty (Maleficient) do which probably makes it harder to sell. I'm sure The Beauty and the Beast will do much better in Japan.

stupid Illumination... I really hopre it's just a phase... tbh even DWA seemed to be outdoing Disney-Pixar for a while (in WW terms) but I'm glad it's over now... Illumination could be the same. these are only its first 5 years, wait til the Despicable/Minions franchise is done and we'll see if they can survive.

What do you consider Margot Robbie as Jane to be, chopper liver?

Dreamworks was better than Illumination, and that's saying something. Antz and Prince of Egypt were respectable (though the former was a real theft) and the first Shrek had a reason to exist. Plus, their first sequel was on their 8th film.

Illumination, on the other hand, makes cheap products with no depth, no structure, no charm, no respect for animation. Despicable movies that are the epitome of modernity: a bunch of non-existent (but funny and foxy) characters producing dozens of dumb gags and jokes every minute. And the average half-brained moviegoer is satisfied when he laughs a few times. Not to mention, in perfect bum-style, they squeeze their few oafish ideas more than any studio has ever made: since 2010 there have been 3 minions and the fourth is coming soon (heck, they already set the release dates of their "franchise films" for the rest of the decade...last year -.-) .

I don't think it's fair to say that illumination studios has no respect for animation. Do you have any actual connection to the animation industry?

[fabiopazzo2]

Any prediction for Jb? Can reach 1 billion Worldwide?

Their products clearly show it. Animation is treated as a mindless genre good for nothing but for a few laughs. That's lack of respect (which is successful since it's favored by the masses' similar attitude).
