The Super Mario Bros. Movie

 

Estimating ¥1800M ($13.2M) for 3-Days, It's the Biggest Start for Illumination Films defeating the likes of 2017's "Despicable Me 3" (¥751.02M) &2015's "Minions" (¥738.48M) among FRI Openers &2016's "The Secret Life Of Pet" (¥982.83M).

 

Combining all Imported Animation Studio, recorded the 2nd Biggest Start behind Disney's "Frozen II" (¥1942M) &ahead of Pixar's "Toy Story 4" (¥1707M)

 

With 83.5% RT, I think Legs are promising to be good!!

 

EDIT: 2nd Biggest Start Of The Year!

Whatever, it came above my estimates! For now, I will target Pixar's "Toy Story 4"!

Here's what Corpse posted about Golden Week recently.

 

Quote

There are 4 national holidays starting with Saturday this week, schools are out, etc., so the numbers are going to be higher than normal for its first 7-10 days in release.

It's important to keep in mind it's opening over one of the three major holiday periods of the year before trying to project a possible finish from that since it's going to add some degree of frontloading.

Golden Week 2023

Sat.: April 29th (Showa Day-National Holiday)
Sun.: April 30th
Mon.: May 1st (Discount Day, Aeon Cinemas Day)
Tues.: May 2nd (Pseudo-Holiday before a National Holiday)
Wed.: May 3rd (Constitution Day-National Holiday, Toho Cinemas Day)
Thur.: May 4th (Greenery Day-National Holiday)
Fri.: May 5th (Children's Day-National Holiday)

And Sat/Sun next week will also be a little stronger than normal since the last weekend of a major holiday period is usually boosted from people going to the theaters before going back to school/work again.

You have arranged it perfectly.. But, if SD had some incredible Post GW Holds then probably there is a chance. 

 

Conan 2023 could either go over Jujutsu Kaisen Movie 0 or stay below. So, it's fixed at #3th unless some surprises ~
