Mario, Slam Dunk and Conan's longevity is ridiculous

Mario is eternal. He welcomes you in the airport. At this point I think it will end up outliving every other Blockbuster this year because of Japan.

We still have Elemental to release as well. I am hoping for some kind of comeback.

yeah @Issac Newton has said there's an industry expectation that it makes 1.2 billion yen (less than $10 million) but I hope it makes $20 million. Or more, of course.

Oh my fucking god...

How do You Live is going to decline more than 50% this Saturday week to week. This 3rd weekend is a disaster.

Hmm... well I guess that drop is better than 50%. Still not good. I guess I will wait.

It's really benefting from summer weekdays, especially as the only kids-skewing film until the new Crayon Shin-chan next week,

[JustLurking]

Looking like it'll settle around 30%, but that's still not really...good, for japan.

 

Still excited to see it, but what a disappointment of a run.

Yeah, TWR has far lower OW due to 2 days frame at ¥960m as compared to HDYL's 3 days OW  ¥1.63bn but TWR is closing the gap fast. By end of 3rd weekend, TWR reached  ¥4.3bn but HDYL can "only" hit ¥4.7bn.

 

A very disappointing outcome after the wait of a decade, If not stabilized, HDYL will continue Miyazaki's downward trend in Japanese BO, probably his first movie to miss ¥10bn since Porco. A sharp contrast to current anime landscape now in Japan since every anime series are doing booming franchise record-breaking business'. Auteur anime filmmakers now like Shinkai and Mamoru Hosado also maintain their momentum, Hosado even has his career highest with Belle. 

 

I guess second Oscar for Miyazaki is a pipe dream now.

[SchumacherFTW]

Guess it's time to start advertising the movie, WOM alone clearly ain't doing it

Eh I'm not sure. I'll judge that after it premiers at Toronto. Then Western Critics will see it and maybe it will build up.
