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

[Fullbuster]

Next 'best Hollywood movie' will be FD.

 

No, before that TASM2 and TF4 have a chance.

No, before that TASM2 and TF4 have a chance.

They have no chance.

[Olive]

 TASM2 and TF4 both won't break 5b.

[Fullbuster]

They have no chance.

 

Given TF3's performance over TF2 I wouldn't count it out

TASM2 will beat TASM there, it's already a good thing

They're not going anywhere near 7b yen, let alone the potential 10b for MU.

3D is dying in japan.

TF4  will make much less than TF3.

TASM was not well-received in Japan either.

POTC 5 and SW7 have a good chance before that.

Unlikely.

POTC 5 and SW7 have a good chance before that.

How big was the Star Wars franchise in Japan?

How big was the Star Wars franchise in Japan?

Big. TPM possibly around 14b, AOTC 9.3b, ROTS 9.2b.http://www.eiren.org/toukei/1999.htmlhttp://www.eiren.org/toukei/img/eiren_kosyu/data_2002.pdfhttp://www.eiren.org/toukei/img/eiren_kosyu/data_2005.pdf

TF3 made 4.25b yen in 2011 when 3D was most popular.

TF4 could fall to 3.0B because 3D is no longer popular there.

Maybe 3D will be popular again next year...It's not that easy to predict.

Keep dream.

Ticket price is already high enough, people are not willing to pay extra 3D fee.

7.72b yen total, 6.12m admissions.

 

best hollywood movie since potter finale.

Thanks, so does 10B seem possible? 

[Olive]

Thanks, so does 10B seem possible? 

Not dead but unlikely.

Should end up 9-9.5b

Revenge of the Sith made $82 million in 2005. But after almost a decade will there be any significant difference?

¥1 billion ↑

Strong boost for all the holdovers this past week.

[The Wind Rises continues to increase it's lead over Arrietty and is on track for about ¥11 billion ($115 million). Again, it's going to be the first film in 3 years to reach ¥10 billion, and the first 2D release to do so in 5 years (which was also Miyazaki's last film, Ponyo, that did it).]

[Monsters University is aiming for a ¥9-9.5 billion ($92-97 million) total, and needs ¥9.38 billion to beat it's predecessor. It'd be great if it achieved the increasingly difficult barrier of ¥10 billion (or even ¥9.7 billion to reach $100 million+), but it's looking very tough. However, ¥9 billion is a huge gross very, very few were expecting it to reach. And since it's 3D share is undoubtedly below 20/25% now, it won't be far behind in admissions from the first film either.]

[Midsummer Formula will finish near ¥3.3 billion ($34/35 million); Pokemon with ¥3.1 billion ($32 million); After-Dinnermight get close to ¥3 billion ($30 million); The Lone Ranger probably at ¥2.2 billion ($23/24 million); WWZ also around there (a little disappointing Holiday week for that one).]

I'm hoping that The Wind Rises does well at the various Film Festivals (Venice, Toronto, New York, etc) it's being screened at or competing in this Summer/Fall to push it above that level.And no need to adjust for inflation. Ticket prices have remained practically the same since the mid-80s.

I really hope MU can out gross MI.

It would be nice if TWR could beat Alice to become the biggest film of the decade.
