JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW

[Tower]

No projections for STID or MOS?Glad to see MU still doing well, 87M finish would be incredible!

 

I suppose he's expecting less than 20M.

The Wind Rises would be low compared to many Ghibli movies

Ah, right, there's that too. MOS will be released on August 31st, maybe that's not summer anymore. It's a pretty bad date it seems, so I don't expect much either. Wonder what marketing has been like for all these Hollywood tentpoles in Japan.

Yeah, it's what I said, it's kind of low compared to the most famous Ghibli movies. Given all people said about it we could expect more.

Still that's a great number of course.

I don't understand why Corpse is so pessimistic about Pacific Rim, its potential is huge there...So I'm sure it's underestimated.

Amazing performance of MU in Japan. Imagine if it didn't need to compete with TWR.

 

 

Stunning performance and bodes very well for FD and TGD. FD has 100M+ potential in Japan while TGD 50M+. Pixar's back after the lackluster last 2 years with Cars 2 & Brave.

Some are predicting 250-300M yen 3-day opening for PR based on early trends.
