I think awards season boost and it just crossed 20B mark and breaking out in China, also more media buzz comparing to last weeks.

If FB is achieving another drop under 20% this weekend then 60m is toast.

>Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is going to have a tough fight on its hands if it wants to claim a third-consecutive week atop the box office, and it's from a film by Warner Bros., interestingly enough, and that's Monster Strike...

>Monster Strike: The Movie, the film adaptation of one of the most popular mobile games of all-time, has some strong pre-sales, and combined with this morning's and afternoon's ticket sales, is on track to win the weekend, or at least Saturday.  

The only thing halting its performance, otherwise I'd say it was "likely" to debut at #1, is the lack of large screens, which are being occupied by Beasts and Pirate. It's selling out a significant number of showtimes, they're just in regular 200-300 auditoriums, though; it doesn't have the 500+ screens.  

>Takashi Yamazaki's A Man Called Pirate doesn't seem likely to replicate the success that was The Eternal Zero. It's probably going to skew older, so I'm not letting the average pre-sales sway my opinion, but so far nothing is pointing to a breakout performance.

>Your Name. will continue along with its unprecedented performance with possibly another weekend increase, in its sixteenth week in release. It's up for the day compared to last week so far, and it's probably not going to fall behind. If it "only" stays flat with last week, it'll deliver the second biggest 16th weekend of all-time, behind only Frozen - it's also going to overtake Frozen's weekends beginning next week, so it'll officially begin its journey to surpassing it in gross as New Year approaches.

Saturday 2PM

Fantastic Beasts -12%
Your Name +31%.

Monster Strike is over-performing too, #1 of weekend is still undetermined 

[Agafin]

Pretty terrific year in Japan all around

Through 6:30PM Beasts is still down only 12% from last Sat. I think Corpse's 31% drop is way too harsh unless it collapses on Sunday. I also think FB will win the weekend because of higher ticket prices (Monster Strike is not that far ahead in the usual locations in admissions).

Yes， with stronger night shows, FB and MS will be close in admissions, and FB will win in gross easily.

And On Sunday, FB will crush MS in both adm. and gross.

Curious where do see these real time numbers?

Amazing for FB Your Name is a Beast a la "Frozen"

[Mojoguy]

Your Name having some ridiculous legs.

I'm still pissed at Disney for releasing the Frozen Bluray so soon in Japan and killing that movie's boxoffice run.

Not sure if I am reading the numbers correctly but Your Name should be up 20% this weekend and Fantastic Beasts down 16%

[FantasticBeasts]

Fantastic Beasts' holds are insane! Time to rethink that 60m total?

I am seeing in BOM that the last registered weekend (August 30-31) Frozen did $37,000. It does not seem so much. How much more could it have done in Japan, maybe half million (just guessing)?

 

Concerning Your Name, it would rebound a 20% relative a weekend that had already increased a 15%. It is absurd.

The Blu-ray was released July 16th so of course by the end of August grosses would have been deflated.

 

The weekend before the Blu-ray release was a $1.3m weekend, then just after the Blu-ray release there was a 43% drop followed by the only 50% drop in the entire run. If they had released the Blu-ray later, these drops wouldn't have been so harsh.

My bad. Thank you for the explanation  So yes, Frozen was really damaged by the BR release. I did not remember this detail.
