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

[Rsyu]

It has always been this way, BOM gets the individual country numbers from various sources, sometimes local. The total OS number is not an addition of all of BOM's individual county tracking, but rather a direct number from the distributor. BOM has never tracked every single market so have to do it this way.

That makes sense I guess but a $40m error is still huge. Some of those grosses must be really off...

Good question.  My weekly numbers are calculated from the cumulative numbers in Corpse's post here.  I suspect he may have missed a week - splitting that into e.g. 1220 and 1200 would be much more plausible.

Yup. Probably 575 weekend before the 510. That was looking anomalous on the chart. Its going to compare well now. Ty again.

Rsyu, thats normal. look at this. http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=oculus.htm

sometimes they dont updated some places in the board.

Yeah that's normal, it's always been like this.  With the amount of data there is and the lack of consistent sources for each market, this is pretty much expected.

Notice how the Frozen OS page only has 53 markets listed, but Frozen was released in more than 70 markets... Also BOM has not yet updated the last week of Japan grosses, but those numbers are taken in to account in the total OS number.

[Queen Elsa Arendelle]

I am more surprised is that Rsyu sumed all of those numbers. wow! you have my respect!

Japan has been updated. It shows as $104m, might be lower than actuals though. They should put countries they don't track/list under "others" category or something. That way we can know that the grosses of each country is accurate

Thanks it's really not really that difficult using excel

he stops updating individual countries near the end of the run. he just updates the os total reported by the studio.not all the cells in spreadsheets are not linked. Just this week we discovered that it said 89 million for Japan on the foriegn page and 90.6 million on the Japan page. It was screwing up my midweek number when the thursday report came out.

Oh yeah, I assumed they didn't without checking.

The only way they could know how much it made in others is by subtracting the total number with what they have for each country, which would make each country "accurate" by definition so it would be pointless.

[Mojoguy]

Is anyone here ACTUALLY Japanese and living in Japan? I'm curious how the general reactions from the Japanese people are.

[mfantin65]

I dont know if this was posted but I asked corpse about frozen hitting SA numbers in dollars and he dismissed it bcos of weak weekdays which are more important than weekends for long period of time.It doesn't have the weekday support, which is more important than weekends. It'll require a gross of at least ¥25 billion, more than double what its 8 week total will probably be.

Getting the lay of the land on SA now. It had first 6 weeks in summer. No wonder how it had such strong midweek support. Frozen had just rwo weeks of SB. Lets add another 30m and it compares. To draw a conclusion from this is like comparing apples and assholes and brilliantly declaring one smells better than the other. No shit.

Or something else then. I find it hard to believe a country like indonesia doesn't have BO tracking of any sort. Maybe with a little effort they could track those countries.

bom sometimes merges countries

That's a pretty good idea actually. makes tracking a whole lot easier.

Corpse is the only Japanese I've seen. Labas does a pretty good job bringing us reactions though.

I think he's a Japanese-American who is fluent in Japanese. But I know he lives in the US.
