yes,35-40M may be the final range.One piece(adapted from the most popular Manga )and TH may hurt Skyfall this week.

It can manage a 40% drop despite that, which is what CR had in its 3rd weekend.

2000 screens out of 2900 for one film is an anomaly. North America has more than 40000 screens but even megablockbusters dont get more then 10-12 thousand screens.

Geographical expanse also matters. Japan is a relatively small country by area and population is concentrated in some places. They don't need that many screens.

Japan has no more room to expand.. If anything, they're building up, and the priority is definitely on affordable housing.

perhaps Japan was less lucky than we, because except the 2 atomic bombs and the big bombing of Tokyo its houses remained intact, so nothing had to be renewed

we could start from fresh

geographically rather pointless to get more screens.And, why would Japan need to focus on building more cinemas when they have other things to focus on?
