Which version are you looking up? The subtitled version looks fine for now (not robust like other days this week).
The dubbed version has few tickets trickling in slowly but the afternoon show has the main section almost at full capacity. 

The 13:30 subtitled show at Toho Shinjuku has only sold 12 seats in a 407 seat theater. That's not "fine for now". It's four hours from now but it's sold almost nothing. This means that people are largely not going to the movies in Tokyo this Friday.

I wasn’t disagreeing that everything is down. It’s not zero though.

Seeing the estimates - Finishing with what Despicable Me 4 did on Obon Tuesday is a marvel to pull off in a Typhoon.

Neither up nor down from LW Non-Holiday Friday

 

Starting tomorrow we will see where it's heading 

[cannastop]

Saturday should be really big. Sales in Tokyo seem to be back to normal. Maybe even higher because people stayed inside on Friday.

[todos]

Better typhoon result than expected $0.9M which is DM4 biggest Obon day gross (Wednesday).

09:00 Start Saturday 

 

+40% MHA 

-25% Inside Out II 

-35% Despicable Me 4 

-40% Kingdom IV 

-65% Shin Chan 

 

% vs LW

[todos]

Current estimates just before noon -  Inside Out 2 looks flat Saturday to Saturday. $1.15M to $1.2M. 
Can get higher. Let’s see where it ends. 

[Issac Newton]

Hold are getting better

 

Kingdom IV - 17%

Inside Out - 14%

[cannastop]

So why exactly is MHA doing so much better today compared to other days?

IO2 - Slight increase from Saturday. $1.3M possible.

3rd weekend in a row in the $3.45 to $4M range. 

[AnthonyJPHer]

I’m starting to think 30m is a done deal and we could be looking at 40m possible even 50m? Which would be insanely impressive. 

[todos]

Quick glance at upcoming releases, the next and newest competition for IO2 is Alien Romulus which opens September 6 or 3 weeks away. 
 

Alien Romulus doing great in several markets including China & S. Korea —-butJapan does its own thing often. 

[Issac Newton]

Massive +3350% LW for Final Day of Screenings for Haikyu!!

[Madhuvan]

30m+ for IO2 could lock TLK

40m+ and we are competing with Jurassic World

[Quigley]

Isn't 30m virtually guaranteed at this point?

we'll see the post-obon holds, but...I would say it would be preeeetty surprising if it missed from here

That's about 4.4 billion yen, and it's at 3.1 billion Yen now (I think). If legs are anything like Elemental's, it will comfortably get there. Dunno about 5.0 billion yen, that's more of a stretch goal.

[Issac Newton]

Maybe ¥2.0~¥3.0B - but in the lower end?
