Despicable Me 4 seems to be doing pretty well though. As far as I can tell.

First time trying to read mimorin but it looks like DM4 had just a 4% drop from last week’s numbers?

That indeed seems to be the case. I think it might be because of more school holidays.

DM4 is doing well! Aeon Data reveal it did double of Kingdom IV (6K) today 

 

Cinema Sunshine Seats Allocation has been double of Inside Out II for MHA

[Issac Newton]

Inside Out II Early Access

 

7,197 / 64,313 | Mimorin [219 Shows/94 TC]

1,917 / 41,104 | AEON [169 Shows/80 TC]

0,478 / 03,398 | Cinema Sunshine [20 Shows/13 TC]

 

Absolutely Poor Occupancy. Maybe because Opening Day is a National Discount Day ~ Let's see how it goes today

Any WOM data or we have to wait for OD BO. I would not be surprised by total rejection in Japan. Pixar has been doing bad for a while. Even TS4 dropped precipitously from previous movie.

I think that was just ER. TS4 sold more tix than TS3 IIRC, which is very impressive in Japan I think.

No it didn't. Toy Story 3 made 10.8 billion Yen, Toy Story 4 made 10 billion Yen. I do agree that Pixar and Disney are falling off in Japan though. Inside Out 2 might not even beat Elemental in Japan, which was 2.7 billion Yen.

I'm a little curious how Zootopia 2 will do in Japan. the first movie was popular in Japan, humongous legs, and it made 7.6 billion Yen. But will the decline of American movies I wonder if it can break out of the ceiling of 4 billion Yen that American animated movies seem to have.

[keysersoze123]

I am wrong about TS4. I dont know why I felt it did not do as well as TS3 in Japan. It could be due to XR for sure. 

 

Anyway let us wait until weekend before predicting doom.

Next toy story should take place in isekai world that will definitely help to increase it's gross 😉

Maybe but 

 

"As reported by Weekly Logistics News and translated by Automaton, a transportation manager in Shizuoka, Japan said the logistics industry's reputation is being ruined by anime that uses the common trope of main characters being killed by trucks. An anime genre called isekai is particularly to blame, they said."

I was reincarnated as a toy in another world with a cheat skill that means I have an elf bride at level 2.

I think DM4 could be the one to do that (+ Mario already did that last year but that’s obviously a special case)

[KP1025]

DM4 looks headed to over ¥5 billion range but thanks to poor ER will probably not gross much more in USD compared to Minions 2. As for IO2, there doesn't seem to be any hype despite the news of it becoming the highest-grossing animated film in the world.

333,795 seats for Inside Out 2

August 2nd seating allocations mimorin. Inside Out 2 has 209,118 seats this day, a 37% drop. It's likely to not need that many seats at all.

 

Of course My Hero Academia has a healthy amount of seats, over 400,000.

 

Despicable Me 4 has 136,735 seats, which is a 40% drop, and it might still match Inside Out 2's sales, or beat them.

What does the benchmark for success look like? No reviews yet from previews yesterday.

 

Seat check on Toho website around Tokyo and Kanagawa has multiple shows near-sell outs. First shows start in 1 or so hours.

 

Maybe be an outlier big city type movie and cinema chain?
