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

[A Marvel Fanboy]

If Frozen passes IM3, I'll be dancing through the night.

With a small re-release, Frozen will easily outdo IM3. (See what Nemo/TLK did in releases.) With another 100m+ to be added from Japan, Frozen should be abble to cross 1.2B, which will be inches away from IM3.

 

And Disney has tradition to re-releases their cartoons. So it will happen, just a matter of time.

Yeah, they're underestimating it again.

We have to wait the official on Tuesday, but surely sunday gross is more than expected.

Underestimation is better than overestimation. At least it brings more satisfaction when the real number comes up. But I'm sure mfantin65 will disagree with me.

>Frozen maintained more of its Sunday audience vs. Saturday when comparing it to last weekend, and likely secured itself a sub-10% weekend drop. Estimates have it dropping about 6%, putting it right on the cusp of an ¥800 million fifth-weekend. And as you can see below, only 6 other films have achieved a fifth-weekend above the mark:

¥401.1 million (-14%) / ¥5.17 billion -> ¥8.75-8.90 billion - The Eternal Zero (2013)
¥400 million+

>Crows: Explode manages to do slightly better than it was expected to after Saturday morning's ticket sales. It is still down over 50% compared to Crows Zero II, so it is still (an expected) disappointment after the 5-year wait. ¥1.5 billion (~$15 million) is its target.

LOL. I agree with you btw.

[kayumanggi]

Should we even call that a drop for FROZEN? lol

[catlover]

For Frozen, we probably should. It is the biggest weekend drop so far. Can't believe I just said that. 6% is the worst drop lol. But seriously, you look at the drops for other movies, and then there's Frozen, living in its own world, by its own rules.

Amazing, Frozen almost grossed more than the rest of the top 10 combined this weekend. 798m vs. 804m.

[Boxx93]

So.... my crazy Spirited Away prediction ($229m) is not that crazy anymore? 

[BadAtGender]

So.... my crazy Spirited Away prediction ($229m) is not that crazy anymore? 

 

Beating it in dollars is not impossible.

 

Beating it in yen is... considerably more unlikely.

[FrozenFan626]

Frozen is an unstoppable wintry force of musical wonder! If it beats IM3 I am going to be over the moon and will have to salute mfantin's and Boxx93's bold predictions although I shall refrain from from eating my hat and changing my Avatar because unlike Omni I held my "reasonable" predictions pretty close to the vest

its looking very good now. With these holds 230 is more likely than rapid declines and below 160.

Well, reaching $229m is still crazy. But, Frozen is doing something crazy and don't we all love crazy ?

I saw what you did there 

[Ray]

"Monsters University is the target."lololol

[Incarnadine]

"Monsters University is the target."

lololol

With actuals Frozen might be passed MU in Japan already. 90m estimate vs. 90.14m for MU. Frozen will pass MU tomorrow if it hasn't already done so.

 

I guess the next "reasonable" target was TS3, a mere 36.66m to go.

 

After TS3 gets passed, none of the higher targets were considered reasonable before Frozen opened, but many will be passed.
