3 years to complete a "final" season, that's some agreessively dumb, genius shit

 

Even though its kind of hilarious that a "Final Season" airs in 3 parts over 3 different years (4 if you count 2020), i much rather have it this way with generally good animation quality than a rushed ending that looks like shit (Seven Deadly Sins says hi)

Welp, didn't age well thought I do am surprised they went with another season instead.

 

Honestly I think it's better this way, an 8/10 episode final season is a better idea than a movie that was supposed to last almost 3 hours and that would have been released months later in the rest of the world...

[Immortal]

A full season can also help in ironing out the problems that the fans have with the manga ending

>Sing 2 threepeats, dropping just 19% in its third weekend following strong weekdays over the Spring Break holiday period (which continued into Monday). It sold an additional 192,175 admissions over the weekend, bringing its three-week admissions up to 1,698,573 admissions. It's very likely to exceed the ¥3 billion (~$25 million) milestone now, but I don't want to project much higher yet. Sometimes younger-skewing films like it fade quickly after the holidays (due to very weak weekdays), so we need to see how it performs next week. I wouldn't completely rule out a ¥3.5 billion+ (~$30 million) total yet though.

>Mr. Osomatsu had some sort of event on Saturday, and thanks to that, managed a respectable 31% hold in its second weekend. It sold another 144,000 admissions in its sophomore frame, bringing its two-week admissions up to 752,360 admissions. Now that I know future events are possible, this one is hard to project. So, for now, let's set a goal for ¥2 billion, the mark it'd be aiming for with this second weekend gross and total.

>Morbius settled for a pretty disappointing third place debut (fourth in admissions), barely getting above 100,000 admissions (101,000) over the weekend frame across 802 screens; and since Friday, it sold 165,866 admissions. This is below par for Marvel/DC, and it'll come nowhere near the ¥1 billion milestone. Expect a finish around ¥750/800 million ($6-7 million).

>Doraemon: Nobita's Little Star Wars 2021 held very, very well once again, off just 17% versus last weekend, selling 120,000 admissions in its fifth weekend. That brings its five-week admissions up to 1,784,513 admissions. Doraemon films typically drop off heavily into April, so I expect the same here. It has been holding very well for the past month, just not quite good enough to make the ¥3 billion (~$25 million) milestone likely. It might still barely get there, but it'll be a very slow crawl if it does.

>The Last 10 Years had its worst hold to date, but when that's just 26%, it's certainly hard to be disappointed. It's already exceeded a 10 multiplier (x10.69), and should be on track to get very close to, or maybe even reach, the ¥3 billion (~$25 million) milestone.

>Drive My Car rose back inside the Top 10 to sixth place in its thirty-second weekend of release, its highest weekend ranking yet, thanks to its Oscar win. It also exceeded the ¥1 billion milestone. It'll likely have another strong week or two before stabilizing, so it might find its way close to ¥1.5 billion ($12/13 million).

>Jujutsu Kaisen 0 achieves a fifteenth-consecutive week in the Top 10. It's now only ¥178 million away from cracking the All-Time Top 15! It'll take a few weeks to get there, but it's basically locked up. Its admissions are up to 9,504,329.

>The debuts in 9th and 10th are estimated for the weekend, but their totals are the reported three-day totals. Johnny's Jr. Our Survival Wars sold 37,000 admissions in its first three-days on 100 screens, while Odd Taxi the Movie: In the Woods sold 35,110 admissions in its first three-days on just 34 screens.

Why is no one giving us on FB3's projection?

[Issac Newton]

I clearly do not know how it gonna perform. I am expecting a drop from former ones. Pre-sales windows is only opened to Previews. Once window open I could figure out some range. But, for now, the immediate goal is to reach ¥3.5B-¥4.0B as observing finals.

The pandemic factor alone makes it unlikely for it to gross as much as the first two I guess but considering how much they're pushing there and how much Japan loves FB, I'm pretty hopeful

[JustLurking]

Presales are looking dreadful to me, I browsed through a good chunk of big toho theaters and I could find exactly 1 show over 50%, at Shinjuku (the busiest theater in the country). Most of them don't even have a show that is close to that mark!

 

NWH opened comparably to FB2 in Japan, but NWH's presales were so much better than what FB3 is showing, it's not even close. Even on the midnight shows it's absolutely no contest. I don't know how the walkups for this series tends to be, but if I had to throw out a gut prediction based on what I saw on a quick browse, I'd say this might not even open to half of FB2.

Holy crap that's beyond dreadful

Man what has happened to hollywood in japan?

[MadGoose]

Many people are saying it's the best of the three. So whatever slower start it could make up via WOM? Didn't remember CoG opened higher than FBAWTFT by a wide margin but still fell behind.

Yeah it's decent tbh, looking at PS I was thinking closer to 100k flat at usuals but it turned well, with weekend bump should be -20/25% over the 3 days which is ok given 2 had holiday bump on friday.
