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

[Issac Newton]

Official OD in USD : $2.6M (~¥330M)

2-days Total : $5.9M (¥750M) *Est*

 

I guess ¥1100M-¥1150M ($8.65M-$9.05M) OW. 

 

Ratings :

4.6 ⭐ :「Y! 映画」(link)

4.6 ⭐ :「Filmark」(link) 

4.5 ⭐ :「Movie Walker」(link)

4.5 ⭐ :「映画.com」(link)

 

Yahoo Movie &Filmark's Ratings are up by 0.1. While, Movie Walker ratings are down by 0.3. Eiga.com is at same level.

Is Dragon Ball Super even shaping up to be that big? Feels pretty muted right now

 

I think it should still be able to comfortably gross more than The Batman (1.2B yen if I remember correctly), maybe with some good reviews it can reach the 2B...

Top Gun Maverick

OD : x¥350M

OP : x¥870M

OW: ¥1220M

 

I am thinking about ¥1100M+. Let's see how it's reported (in USD) by Paramount. Slightly felt short of ¥900M OP (Sat-Sun) record of Mission Impossible II.

 

Paramount : $9.7M (~¥1230M)

Can't remember. It's a different level of ratings. Even established franchise like Star Wars are around 4.0-4.3 at Yahoo Movie. I will check web archive. and confirm later

Japan already having a much better year for HW films between FB3, TGM and DS2.

 

I really hope Lightyear does well as well will  be nice to have a western anime film making some money in the country again.

Bohemian Rhapsody 

4.58 ⭐ :「Y! 映画」(link)

4.40 ⭐ :「映画.com」(link)

4.30 ⭐ :「Movie Walker」(link)

4.30 ⭐ :「Filmark」(link)

 

This is the highest possible rating I could find. Next is Zootopia (4.4 in Y! 映画)

 

I was thinking it's Frozen but it isn't close.

Lightyear will perform well. Another potential ¥5.00B in the market. Pixar's Movies are quite popular. I wish Soul and Luca could have got Theatrical release here. Last big Pixar release was Toy Story 4 (¥10.09B) back in 2019.

I'm hoping for a Toy Story like box office so at least close to to 10B which I think is doable given what we have seen from some of the anime titles the last 2 years. But yeah 5B would still be good, a lot of it will come down to word of mouth as is the way with Japan 90% of the time.

 

I also hope there is a synergy boost from the newly opened Toy Story Hotel at Tokyo Disney

Buzz isn't that popular as Woody. But, who knows if it gonna go beyond imagination. I am thinking something like above Coco (¥5.00B) and close to Finding Dory (¥6.83B). [Ofc if it's a sudden breakout like recent TGM then ¥10.00B should be on cards] Date is also perfect i.e 07/01, 14-days away from Minion 2 and local release "Kingdom 2" (07/15). Just need some miracle for better E.R., as this summer has four possible ¥1.00B+ opener starting with LightYear (07/01), ending with Jurassic World: Dominion (07/29).

that is good to know, wasn't aware. I did know that the aliens are super popular but apart from that didn't know which characters resinated.

Yeah ER is really hurting Hollywood blockbusters the Euro has been very weak as well, we need the USD to cool off a bit.

Yeah thats why i ask what is the biggest non holiday monday since Frozen 2 before. It's a bit slowing down though. Hopefully still at least 50% down from Sunday.

I think Rise of Skywalker had 109k monday at usuals and the 23rd of december is not holiday in Japan iirc, so probably that one I guess. Though maybe some schools are already out by then, I really don't know but it shouldn't be the case. NWH was still holiday monday (but looking at its other weekdays I don't think it would've gone this high on monday regardless without the holiday), FB3 was way lower, and I don't think another hollywood contender post-F2 even exists for me to bother checking.
