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.

googling it gave

"an idea for attracting customers or persuading people to buy something"

I didn't thought it will fit that well.

ah that definition definitely works! that however is not it's true definition at all. Here's what it means

 

something that is not serious or of real value that is used to attract people's attention or interest temporarily, especially to make them buy something:

 

sorry If i appeared hostile in my previous post

 

People have been using "3D is a gimmick" as an insult against 3D for years

3D in general is a gimmick, but few movies managed to pull off and make it work like a music. A2 is the prime example of this.

Now, $1 = ¥130 !!!!!!

It should! TOHO will continue admission privileges until ¥15B. It's their target.

WWY is about 1.4b ahead on their respective 6th weekends, but recovering that over new years holidays seems fairly doable to me. If it holds well after that, those goals are plausible I guess.

For Toei Slam Dunk the goal will be ¥10B and I think they will do admission privileges for it too.

Pretty hilarious how this thur is the first day A2 has won in admits (on mimorin anyway).

Avatar falls on 2023 Eiren Calendar. That's why you can't find it on the list.

Think A2 will settle ard -40/35. Eh drop. Will probably end 3-4b range in JP.

[Issac Newton]

Better than previous Disney Films' 2nd Weekend drop ranging 60-70%.

 

Yes, I am talking about their Post-CoVid-19 hold.
