Most excellent weekend! Last weekend was unusually weak, so it does makes sense this one is very strong. Also, it's definitely worth noting that tickets were 40% off at many locations on Sunday which boosted the weekend (especially admissions). This may result in the estimates falling 5-10%, and because of this these are the definition of weekend estimates.

I included the previews from last weekend into The Amazing Spider-Man's estimate. Without previews, estimates have it near ¥600 million ($7.5 million).

Very, very good for Rinjo. TOEI finally has a non-Kamen Rider live-action hit this year.

Crap for The Rum Diary. I should have known it wouldn't do well being released by Showgate, but figured Depp could help it out.

Thermae Romae records it's 10th weekend in the Top 5. I don't have time this morning to check, but I'll provide a list tonight of the last few films to manage this achievement.

Only 7.5? Kind of disappointing

[Corpse]

That's excluding previews which will be included. And those who saw last weekend's previews would have came out this weekend, so it's still strong.5 billion yen ($60 million+) is reasonable. It's a drop off in yen and admissions from the previous films, but since the dollar is really weak, it may just be enough to outgross it's predecessors in USD.

[CJohn]

Is that good?

[fmpro]

Was´ent previews like 3,4??3,4+7,5= 10,9

[fmpro]

Is that good?

Its not a record.. But still great for a reboot

I could live with 55-60 mill

[Fullbuster]

$10.5m OW in Japan is a good number, it's great for the movie It will pass TDK in 1 week there.

[Corpse]

Is that good?

Yes, it's good. Not huge or super impressive, but it will lock up $50 million and possibly $60 million+.

The estimate for just the weekend is about $7 million, but they underestimate MIB 3 due to 3D so I raised it to $7.5 million which will be closer.

It's a good number, good omen for the OS number.

Okey.. So official number later tonight should be around 7 mill + previews?

[John Marston]

Wait it was only a 2 day opening? Is that normal?

[Corpse]

The official numbers will be out tomorrow morning (20-24 hours from this post) unless it's reported sooner. A local source may report on it, and THR will likely have a number later today, too.

Wait it was only a 2 day opening? Is that normal?

Yeah, Japan has 2-Day weekends.
