So in terms of gross Avatar will be either #1 or #2?

#1 is on 10% chance. JK had been repeatedly saying that outside premium formats (especially IMAX), the film simply doesn't exist in the market.

Okay then #2 or #3 in gross it will be.

Any info on whether the SxF movie will be canon or not? I would go for like 6B if not and 10B+ if yes

Expecting something like conan both in terms of what the film is and how it performs personally.

Man I am loving 2023 Japanese box office potential its gonna be a blast. So effing glad that Anime dominates the Japanese box office. Also anime is getting more popular at the North American box office where I live. I think beside Japan Spy x Family movie will make records hopefully at the North American box office.

 

wrong, its not a good thing

now that gintama is over, anime is a dead medium not worth paying attention to

Bring more streaming platform, Hollywood would soon be a dead meat (gross will be less than $15M for major works)

SxF anime is real big - probably 2nd best live+DVR ratings I've seen for an anime (though a very distant second from DS). This is an original anime, but maybe there's 10b potential here. We'll see I guess.

Original anime? It already has a manga.

Not true. Did you not watch chainsaw man? Also DS is still going on, bleach returned. OPM is still there. If you haven't watched Mob Psycho do watch it.

Ah. You should have worded it differently ig

Are Disney struggling because they keep putting their movies on Disney+ 1.5 months after release thus cutting the legs of their releases in Japan?

Could be an issue for few movies

Industry Expecting ¥4B ($29.3M) Final 

[Psylocke]

Yikes that is a bad decline in Yen and even a worse decline in Dollar for Avatar 2 from Avatar 1.

[keysersoze123]

I guess Japan have no interest in 3D any more. This movie still emphasized 3D and they rejected it big time. Only comp I can think of is Alice in Wonderland sequel which dropped like 80% or so. Avatar basically pulled an Alice here.

lol

I had the displeasure of reading it week to week

I assume my question might be a bit (or more than a bit) stupid but im too curious not to ask

 

Dont know to many examples of a hit movie absolutetly plummeting in a single territory (not including domestic) while doing decent to good business everywhere else, seems like not even incredible legs will get it where we want it to get

 

considering how theyre at risk on losing upwards of 200 million over all 4 sequels if nothing is done, is there any possibility that disney might implement a japan specific rescue mission?

 

Send Cameron to japanese media to talk about how his purpose in life is to make photo-realisitc anime girls (alita and kiri), invite a bunch of japanese influencers to screeners and QA's, work out deals with imax theaters, and ramp up the ad campaign 

 

has something like that ever happened for any other movie? specifically post release

I don't remember any other situation like this with other movie. As @XXR Tulkun Rider said it's most likely Japan just moved on from Avatar and is not interested in it, additional marketing now will not change lack of GA interest.
