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

[Corpse]

Is there a chance that Frozen can increase again on its 3rd weekend from the 2nd?

It's definitely possible, and if it drops, it'll be minuscule.  

 

A lot of films see weekend increases when they occur during a holiday frame (Spring Break, Golden, Obon, New Year), even if it's their second or third weekends.  Alice in Wonderland opened over 1 billion, stayed over 1 billion in its second weekend, and still saw a third weekend increase to remain over 1 billion thanks to Golden Week.  

 

Doraemon will increase over the weekend for sure, and its weekday business is going to skyrocket.

That's around $8.5 weekend and $29.4m total. I was right, 7% increase was too low.

Hell yeah! 9th biggest 2nd weekend with actuals!

kids/ ladies day 1100?Average adult 13.50- 14w frozen already open u think they bump it? Or just not reduce for a couple weeks

[LABAS]

Yes, the lowest price is 11oo yen. This is due to the national tax policy. The sale tax increases from 5 % to 8 %. Yesterday the toho admission is 72506 so that i think next week perhaps the admissions will decrease but the BO will stay almost the same or reduce a bit. of course, if it increases again I will be very happy.

[lab276]

The average ticket price between 1993 and 2013 was never more than 1266 Yen and never less than 1214 Yen, so this jump will be pretty extreme.

[LABAS]

toho today 28363last monday 1996740% bump

[mfantin65]

was hoping for at least 35k. that may be only 1.7m unless the other chains had a better increase like earlier. 2m max

hope tomorrow improves by at least 10% like last week

>Frozen as reported increased in its second weekend, but both Disney and estimates were... LOW! The film actually increased 13% taking in ¥872,269,400 ($8.6 million) with 680,855 admissions. This is the 9th biggest second weekend since at least 1998 (no weekend data prior to this date), and the only film since then to ever open above ¥500 million to see a second weekend increases without Holiday support.

And as equally as impressive, its 10-day total reached ¥3.01 billion ($29.6 million) with 2.43 million admissions. It has an extra day in release when compared to The Wind Rises (¥2.85 billion) or Monsters University (¥2.49 billion), but this is the second highest two week total for an animated film since Ponyo (¥3.23 billion).

Eventually it should lose its momentum once Spring Break is over, allowing the films it's tracking ahead of currently to catch up since their holidays boosts came later in their runs. But if it keeps up this pace... ¥10 billion ($100 million), while already a possibility, becomes more likely.

>The Secret Life of Walter Mitty saw a decent start with ¥147,534,700 ($1.4 million) with 112,880 admissions on 594 screens. It opened last Wednesday, so its 5-day total managed to break ¥330 million ($3.2 million). I'd call this a good opening, more than most probably expected it to do. It may have a chance at reaching the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone.

>God's Medical Records 2 is a major bust and the first big bomb of the year. It only grossed ¥98,460,300 ($970,000) with 80,913 admissions over the weekend on 325 screens. It did open on Friday due to the Holiday, bringing its 3-day total to a more respectable ¥214,840,000 ($2.1 million), but the weekend frame itself is down 60% compared to the first film and the 3-day total is still below the first film's 2-day by 21%...

>Lone Survivor debuted on 202 screens to ¥53,421,900 ($525,000) with 43,131 admissions. Could have down a little better, could have done a bit worse, in the end it's just meh.

>And finally, Saving Mr. Banks had to settle for 9th taking in just ¥47,835,600 ($470,000) with 37,764 admissions on 223 screens. The lack of any award attention this past season really hurt its potential, what little it probably had to begin with anyway.

[Incarnadine]

For those "2 week totals", are all those just for the end of their 2nd weekend or are some of them to the end of their 2nd week?

 

I'm curious since BOM has Monsters University as $20,152,389 after it's 2nd weekend (July 13-14), but on the above list it has MU as $25.2m, which would seem to include the weekdays from its 2nd week.

 

Edit- OK, I checked a bunch of others on the list and they all seem to be just to the end of the 2nd weekend, it only seems the numbers for MU don't jive.

Spirited Away's run is so bloody ridiculous. It might be the most impressive single-market box office run ever.
