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

[23IsEverywhere]

6.6m? This weekend is looking to beat last weekend.

with thur 10% larger than tues and friday as big as sunday i thought the week would be 11. Closer to 29m.

That number is low, but also in Japan they only count Saturday and Sunday as weekends

I was counting just the two days. Looks like toho is going beat last saturday and match last sunday. Looking like a 3.8m-4m day. Maybe 8.2m weekend.

 

Mondays toho number is going tell us a lot on how big this going to be. 40,000+ would be huge.

[pepsa]

Could I ask how many $ 40,000 would be?

Could I ask how many $ 40,000 would be?

That's admissions. Toho is 20% of the theaters.

Multipy that number x 5 for total then times $12.50 per ticket.

40,000x62.50= 2.5m

that would make it a huge spring break midweek of 13m or more.

Looking for toho to report 66,000 today.  4.1m

Misread yours as saying an 11M weekend

Why are Hollywood movies released 2-3 months late in Japan? Any specific reason for this? The rest of the world seems to get the movies day and date but almost every movie releases late in Japan.

[Corpse]

Frozen likely seeing a second weekend increase is exceptional.  Sub-20% drops, and even single digit drops, for big openers is fairly common due to sheer demand, but increases for films that open north of 500 million yen are very rare.  

 

I will caution that the actual weekend increase will be lower than the ~15% increase over last Saturday.  Every film's avg. ticket price drops over the first 6 weeks or so of release before stabilizing, but the possibility of a double digit second weekend increase is magnificent.  

 

When WOKJ is back up this weekend, I'll post the updated Biggest Second Weekend/Second Week Totals Charts.  Frozen won't be in the Top 5 on those, but I'm pretty sure it'll see a Top 10 ranking.

Japan sees so many films released (second in the world behind India), and executives and producers earn more profit over the investment.  The Japanese are a picky audience, and rarely go the movies anyway.  The average person only goes to the cinemas once a year.  So releasing a movie that doesn't have any proven ability elsewhere in the world, or isn't a sequel or related to an already major property, are a bit too risky to release day and date.  

 

And in the majority of cases, releasing months later in Japan is always a positive.  Frozen wouldn't be doing this well had it been released in November or December.  So many movies bomb or disappoint in Japan if they're released day and date.

Even than, an increase is awesome and brings 100M+ into the picture, maybe even TS3's total. Another market has blown up for Frozen, this run has truly been out of this world.     

[Corpse]

$100 million is possible, but don't go overboard... yet.  The chance though I believe is quite good.

 

Alice in Wonderland looked like it was going to actually beat Avatar or at least finish over $150 million after three-consecutive weeks above 1 billion yen (only the second film to do this, the first being Howl's Moving Castle), 7-weeks on top, and only trailing three Miyazaki films (Spirited Away, Howl, and Ponyo) for the biggest 2, 3, 4, maybe even 5 week totals.  But like many films that have an insane first 4-6 weeks in release, late legs (week 8 and onward) end up generally very poor.  By that time though, they're already up to massive figures.

Aren't studios wary of piracy? India used to get movies 2-3 months later as well in the 90s through the early 2000s, then due to rampant piracy they changed the release schedules to day and date, sometimes we now get movies before they release in the US.
