Feels like Japan OW < UK OD. For now, I am sure that Avatar 2 won't win the weekend both in gross &admits

 

PS: From Partial Counts, SLAM DUNK had ⅔ of Avatar 2 SAT Total Seating Capacity

Can't believe they actually held a premiere here for a number 2 opening. 

[JustLurking]

Yeah pretty embarassing run in Japan. Not really sure what there is to be said even. Can either leg out ok if it stays on premiums or will crater if they take them away from the film.

Avatar 3 for sure won't do that again, Japan is biggest disappointment.

[Issac Newton]

So, likely no Imported Works will exceed ¥10B this year.

 

1. Suzume's Locking-Up (TOHO- ¥15B)

2. How Do You Live? (TOHO - ¥10B)

3. Conan 2023 (No hopes by TOHO but should happen)

4. SLAM DUNK (Toei - ¥10B / We - ¥6B-¥7B)

Precedent would say Mermaid could have a chance since Disney's LA films have performed great in the market, but with Disney's recent struggles and the difficulties of opening a black-led film in Japan it just seems unlikely.

Franchise -

 

1981 - ¥2.10B (Rental - ¥1.38B)

1984 - ¥5.43B (Rental - ¥3.20B)

1989 - ¥7.40B (Rental - ¥4.40B)

2008 - ¥5.71B

 

I am not sure how ¥10B is possible for Indiana Jones 

[Issac Newton]

Transformers Universe

 

Transformers (2007) - ¥4.01B

Revenge of the Fallen (2009) - ¥2.32B

Dark of the Moon (2011) - ¥4.25B

Age of Extinction (2014) - ¥2.91B

The Last Knight (2017) - ¥1.75B

Bumblebee (2018) - ¥872M

 

Full of ups and downs - how would Rise of the Beasts perform?

[LPLC]

Don't forget that Avatar is a leggy movie and Japan is a leggy market, maybe those two things combined explain what's going on.

[Borobudur]

Are there any new local blockbuster coming? If not, A2 will have some boost over the New Year holiday. 

[Elessar]

You really don't need premium screens for all those animes, maybe Avatar can hold onto them for a couple months and end with a respectable gross .

Don't forget this is 2022 not 2009. Also, WOM isn't equivalent to TGM

Japan isn't a leggy market anymore ? I thought i saw corpse say it was one of the biggest leggy markets. And despite the WOM not as great as Avatar, I think A2 will be a leggy movie, don't you ?

People are quick to judge WOM based on some metrics but i don't think those tell you the whole picture.

[XXRDJisDoctorDoom]

Is A2 even looking at half of A1 in yen? Would be about ¥7.7B I believe?

Disney says it will somehow reach ¥10B (meaning that they won't make it go to Disney+ soon). But, with this number it is hard to believe that it will reach ¥5B either.

 

It's still a leggy market but flat decrease is tougher to get with passing time and increase is also possible only with admission privileges (which also help the film to soft drop) 

 

I don't except it to flop like other Disney Film but somehow hard to believe that it will do well with these numbers especially when it's Distributor top film of pandemic is jzt ¥2.16B (DS:MOM)

 

If Disney+ didn't exist we could have atleast being in state of relax for sometime but now it's just a period of embrassing and frustration

So it will drop from $175M to $35M ... It hurts - $140M
