PAW PATROL? That's really getting the 3rd most seats?

 

EDIT

I think Paw Patrol might ONLY be playing at the AEON chain in Japan though. Don't see it at any other chain.

"Paw Patrol: The Movie" - ¥298M

 

Anyways, it's not the upcoming "Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie" which is scheduled for December. This one is like an compilation/OVA maybe - 58 mins runtime and primarily release on AEON Cinemas

Post- CoVid-19 Imported Animation

• The Super Mario Bros. Movie* - ¥13.68B
• Minions: The Rise Of Gnu - ¥4.442B
• Sing 2 - ¥3.311B

Would be nice for Elemental to make it past Minions 2. Or at least Sing 2. I think it's possible.

No, it's Wednesday. But Disney gave an informal definition in regards to Elemental.

Including the weekend after Obon ends might make sense from a box office standpoint.

Great, glad to see it is elemental that grab the holiday benefit instead of Barbie.

Probably not enough to win nationwide I guess since usuals should take a bit higher share due to toho discounts. Still very good.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

 

Est. at ¥13.73B, coinciding with Towa Picture's "Top Gun: Maverick" (¥13.73B), Mario became the Highest Grossing Imported Film since 2014 Disney's "Frozen" (¥25.50B). Based on Current Forecast, Mario is estimated to finalised at ¥14.20B~¥14.53B (depending on 10/20% Drop)

‘The Super Mario Bros Movie’ Tops $100M In Japan, Becomes Universal’s Biggest Title Ever In Market 

With Tuesday’s grosses, Illumination/Nintendo/Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie has crossed the $100M (13.74B yen) mark in Japan. In doing so, it becomes Universal’s top title ever there. In local currency, Mario overtakes Top Gun: Maverick as the No. 6 Hollywood film of all time in Japan, and is the No. 1 studio picture since the beginning of the pandemic.

Supposedly even higher than Princess Kaguya which is the most expensive Japanese movie ever (~¥5B)

[JustLurking]

HDYL tanking doesn't matter that much financially since Ghibli is already over anyway. This is just the goodbye. Still sucks to have Miyazaki go out with a sub 10b film though, but I'll be seeing it regardless.

yeah I'm still looking forward to it. Even if it wasn't the same humongous hit his previous movies were.

Currently at ¥234,621,560 as of Sunday.
