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

Japan is a sequel-adverse country, nothing can be done there. Also FYI even if it matched 1:1 the original in yen (this was never going to happen) it would lose 70M just from exchange rate gap. A reasonable good 10b yen performance would've lost it 100.

They couldn't help Endgame in it's 2nd Weekend, losing to film running on it's 3rd Weekend. How do you expect Disney to save Avatar?

 

If Disney really want to save it's cinematic experience in Japan, then 

 

1. Pulling out those streaming platform from Japan (or that 45-days theatrical exclusive)

2. Don't release BD/DVD unless the film is earning negligible (Frozen II would have defeated Titanic if not release in BD/DVD early)

3. Stop that simultaneous release with US (Many films end up with bad days - Look WF went head-to-head with SUZUME's when they already know that people would prefer SUZUME's over WF)

4. Not a favourable market for sequel (So, not waste money on promotion/marketing)

5. Release their film in anime format but not 3DCGI which is still a new concept here (30:70 success rate)

Honestly, there had been no Good Disney movies past few years.  That's the only thing.  When Disney will release something Good, It will perform. After 2019, I have seen all movies Disney have released and none of the Big Movies were any good. 

 

Avatar 2 isn't that great. People in Japan don't like full 3DCGI already as you said, Avatar 1 was completely different because it gave almost new meaning to 3D Cinema. Avatar 2 on other is same but better 3D cinema.  It's all about "New" vs. "Better"   New things will attract more people but better will attract less.

I won't agree with this straight but I do believe Soul, Luca &Encanto did have potential but was messed with their release strategy

Ratings does reveal that movie was appealing more to critics rather than audiences! Debut 3rd in admits taking a huge share in IMAX

With its aging and declining population it is safe to say the Japanese Box Office has reached its peak.

Defeating Spirited Away with a difference of almost ¥9B is still insane and at the time of pandemic will always be remembered

 

Ehh we won't see ¥30B anymore and ¥20B will be a rarity but 1/2/3 film should exceed ¥10B each year

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. 

you would think Japan will be one to like gimmicks like 3D. I don't think 3D could be reason for failure. they can simply watch in 2D if they don't like 3D.
