RB2 42 % saturation with 40% more seats. They screwed the pooch with the seats

They'll remedy it soon!

*waiting for Labas to confirm that*

 

On the contrary, since these stats are the only daily numbers we have (there are no daily reports for box office in Japan), they are extremely helpful. With historical data, people here came up with certain multipliers, so when we get the numbers for the whole day, we can estimate the daily numbers nationwide in dollars.

 

Btw afternoon update for the top 4:

TOHOFrozen 39237（LW 38683）101.4％Conan 25087（LW 42126）59.6％Thermae II 25027TASM2 14138109Frozen 7871（LW 9607）81.9％Conan 6135（LW8831）69.5％Thermae II 5910TSAM2 4192KINEZOFrozen 8188（LW 9023）90.7％Conan 5238（LW 7601）68.9％Thermae II 4360TSAM2 2950

Toho is great, but why the hell are numbers so scanty in 109 (and Kinezo, too)?

Frozen almost tripled SM in toho, but couldn't even double it in 109.

 

My Gawd, really, people, can FROZEN hit $160M in Japan?

Ansolutely locked. The real question is if it can hit 160M within the next 2 weeks.

And the answer is 'yes'.

[baumer]

I read in the South Korea thread that films go up on Sunday.  I read that here too.  Why does this happen in some Asian countries?  Do most people not work on Monday or is Sunday typically just a very busy day?

If I had to guess I'd say maybe because a lot of people still work on saturdays? But i'm not sure.

Why? Maybe because they're not christian and as a result Sunday can be a typical day?

[Rsyu]

Actually in South Korea, sundays are weaker than saturdays. I mentioned to someone it in the TASM2 OS thread.

South Korea has a high Christian population, protestants and Catholics account for nearly 30% of the population which is why I guess sundays are weaker. 

I've been wondering why Japan's sundays are stronger for a while. Aside from religion, the fact that it's 1 day before workday should mean it sees a decrease but apparently that's not the case.

The reason might be that most of the singalongs are played in TOHO theaters.

Looking at its 72.9% saturation level, no one can deny that it's a success so far.

 

I check 4.29 schedule, finding that some singalongs have been sold out, some 80% and some 50% .

Besides, some theaters change the singalong screes size, for example, in one theater,

the seats are 334 today but 542 beginning 4/29....

I am confused. Religious people don't go to the movies on Sunday? 

 

I don't know many of them but the ones I know go to the movies whenever they want... 

 

Sunday nights are quiet because people have to work on Mondays but Sunday afternoons are the perfect days to go with the kids to the movies, that's why some family movies increase on Sunday

It's the only difference I can think of of why Sunday compared to Saturday is weaker in Korea while stronger in Japan. I'm sure families going to movies on a sunday afternoon with family isn't something exclusive to Japan. 

 

What is it like for spain? Does sunday increase there too?

Unfortunately we can't find daily numbers online here, only weekends. But a lot of people work on Saturdays (stores, supermarkets, even banks on Saturday morning) and on Sundays all that persons are free to go to the movies

Animated and family movies does their better in sunday (or in other midweek holidays) afternoon, superhero or all kind of adult movies can take advantage in saturday evening and night shows, which does non happen in sunday because people works on monday. So, in the whole world.

[juni78ukr]

Family movies usually increase on Sunday in Russia. Sometimes up to 20-30%/

[Olive]

Most Chinese are not religious, but Sundays are smaller than Saturdays, family movies with great WOm can see very nice drop though.

[Rsyu]

That's really interesting. Family movies in most cases decrease in Korea on sunday just like movies of any other genre. 

Also I'm pretty sure in Japan movies of all genres increase on sunday too not just family films

Social, cultural and economical differences may be the difference.
