Hmm I noticed with The Little Mermaid remake the subtitled shows were popular.

 

Seems to be happening with Elemental? I see the listings in Toho Shinjuku is half sub half dub. Shibuya is all sub. Nihonbashi is mostly sub. Roppongi Hills is also mostly sub. Is this just for the cinemas in Tokyo, though? I wonder. Kind of weird for all the emphasis the marketing played with the dub voice actors.

As far as I can tell they seem to only be allocating it one screen so there's probably not that much room to split between dub and sub and some theaters gotta pick one. Sub shows should be more limited in rural areas. Transformers gets the most screens of the openers it seems, atleast in cities, shin chan might have more in rurals.

I checked some of the locations in Osaka and they were less sub-heavy than Tokyo's for Elemental.

I'm kind of surprised though that Shibuya is the one with all sub shows. I thought Roppongi Hills was where more foreigners/Westerners in Japan were.

Looks like I might have been wrong about how many seats Transformers would get. I thought Elemental and Crayon Shin-chan would have more seats, but this might not be the case.

Transformers have PLF Diversity so it's getting more shows and Shin Chan itself is a Toho Distribution so will get more seats on Toho Cinemas - Seating Capacity will obviously change based on demand like we have seen back in Golden Week on how Mario overtook Conan on Seating Capacity after Incredible Performance!

Elemental has more seats than Transformers, like I originally thought. Crayon Shin-Chan is apparently a cartoon that appeals to more rural audiences. And AEON is less of a city-center cinema chain.

Overall this signals to me that Elemental will have around 400,000 seats available per day across all cinemas in Japan. Which is really good!

Transformers won't win Weekend. Race will be between the trio "Elemental", "Shin Chan 3D" &Holdover "Kingdom III"

 

Yeah, you are right about it.

Elemental doing well in Japan will make up for the awful How do you Live holds

Wonder what the impact to Barbie will be here and if Oppy will even get released.

 

Would be nice to see Elemental succeed, but idk if Disney+ is still such an issue.
