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

[Mockingjay Raphael]

I don't get this. RE6 is starting 11% ahead of RE5, why they're expecting it to finish with a lower total, especially since it will have NY boost?

RE4 is the highest with 4.7B, RE5 only made 3.8B

All comparisons are always in local currency. You're comparing grosses in USD.

I see, thanks guys.

Japanese just hasn't done with YN

[StephenN18]

It's frustrating how the dollar/pound etc is down although RE has increased in yen.

No wide openers ever debut the last weekend of the year, so this weekend is all about the holdovers.

>Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be in a close battle for the top spot, though the former should be able to capture the #1 spot for a second-consecutive weekend.

>Your Name. simply refuses to slow down, and is going to experience another weekend increase in its nineteenth week of release; this time, possibly enough to give it a significant rise up the charts, aiming for the Top 3 once more. It needed a strong New Year boost to put it in contention to outgross Frozen and Titanic, and it's getting just what it needed and more to come. 

Following the New Year, it'll be expanding to IMAX locations and could return to the #1 spot. #SpiritedAwayInTrouble?

>Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them continues to show that spin-offs don't always have to be disappointments, as is the case with most in Japan, and is beginning to close in on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 - the lowest grossing film in the Harry Potter franchise.

>Yo-Kai Watch 3 is showing better legs than both of its predecessors, though the franchise continues to suffer from some notable frontloading. Thankfully, the weekdays this time of year are very strong for any film skewing toward a younger audience, such as this one, so its weekends aren't nearly as important.

An incredible display of discrepancy among the weekend % changes this week due to New Year falling over the weekend.

>Rogue One: A Star Wars Story returns to the top spot, unseating Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. After 3 weeks in release, the Star Wars spin-off is tracking ~56% behind The Force Awakens. And after 2 weeks in release, the final Resident Evil film is tracking just ~4% behind Retribution.

>Your Name. experiences its biggest weekend increase-to-date, and easily rose back into the Top 3 in its nineteenth week of release. If the estimate holds, its 19th weekend will be recorded as the biggest of all-time, besting Spirited Away's ¥255 million.

There is still plenty of New Year to take advantage of, and it's now "only" ¥3.5 billion and ¥4.2 billion away from overtaking Frozen and Titanic, respectively, to become the second-highest grossing film of all-time, behind only Spirited Away. However, its weekly numbers have been outpacing Spirited Away's now for a couple weeks, and it's probably going to stay that way, so I'm not ruling out the shot of it going on to become the highest-grossing film of all-time (especially if it can manage an Oscar nomination).

>Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them continues to show that spin-offs don't always have to be disappointments, as is the case with most in Japan, and is beginning to close in on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 - the lowest grossing film in the Harry Potter franchise.

Your Name almost regained #1 spot in admissions, +265% from last Monday.

Monday is national holiday since NYD fell on Sunday.

Can FB make it to 65 mill?

Your Name back to #1 spot on its 132nd day in release.
