Nice! My dad would be very happy. He's a foreign coins collector, and he's never been to India. If I win, I'll give it to him. But I'll use my bragging right myself.

$118.2M total for Frozen according to BOM. I bet it's low again.

Edited April 27, 2014 by catlover

[Rsyu]

Bom reports that frozen grossed $118.2M in Japan and is the highest grossing disney/pixar animated film there.

Unless they are talking about yen, that statement is wrong isn't it? TS3 did $126M there.

10 (07) ¥22 million ($210,000), -61%, Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai (Toei) Week 5
Estimated Top 10 Total: ¥2.926 billion (#9 All-Time Weekend, #2-All Time non-July Weekend)
11 (08) ¥20 million ($190,000), -64%, The Snow White Murder Case (Shochiku) Week 5
12 (09) ¥17 million ($160,000), -66%, Doraemon: Nobita's Great Demon - Peko and the Exploration Party (Toho) Week 8
13 (10) ¥13 million ($120,000), -67%, Team Batista: Kerberos's Final Portrait (Toho) Week 5

>Frozen was overestimated last week, but it had 3D dubbed versions added this weekend which should result in a weekend increase. And it earned itself the Biggest 7th-Weekend of All-Time, too! The 7-week total should be about ¥12.3 billion ($120.2 million) now as it heads into one of the biggest weeks at the box-office - Golden Week.

>Thermae Romae II bests its predecessor's opening by ~24%, and depending on the actual it has a chance at the best opening weekend for a live-action film since Resident Evil: Retribution back in Sept. 2012. It needs to beat The Eternal Zero's ¥542 million. It won't have anywhere near the stellar legs of its predecessor, though it can still achieve ¥4 billion+ ($40 million+) based on this figure. 

>Detective Conan achieves the biggest-second weekend in the franchise after having the biggest-opening weekend in the franchise last weekend. There's a very high chance it will go on to become the highest-grossing film in the franchise as well, and could reach as high as ¥4 billion ($40 million).

>The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is down ~36% from the opening of the first film. The drop-off is more than expected, but it's not really surprising given the lukewarm reception of the first film and the general backlash against live-action sequels lately. One positive is that Golden Weekmight allow it to exceed ¥2.5 billion ($25 million) and get reasonably close the original's ¥3.16 billion total. It has no chance of matching it though.

>Partners the Movie 3 performed just as expected, which is fine. It will probably be the leggiest of the openers this weekend and will also be targeting a ¥2.5 billion ($25 million) total.

Biggest Weekends (Top 10) [2001-]:
01. ¥3.601 billion - 07/09-10/2005
02. ¥3.423 billion - 07/19-20/2003
03. ¥3.329 billion - 07/21-22/2007
04. ¥3.314 billion - 07/22-23/2006
05. ¥3.160 billion - 04/17-18/2010
06. ¥3.048 billion - 07/21-22/2001
07. ¥2.963 billion - 07/17-18/2010
08. ¥2.960 billion - 07/18-19/2009
09. ¥2.926 billion - 04/26-27/2014 (estimate)
10. ¥2.917 billion - 07/10-11/2010

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 disappointing likely cost the weekend ¥3 billion and the chance at the Top 5. Still, the second-biggest non-July weekend is very impressive.

$118.2M total for Frozen according to BOM. I bet it's low again.

They had Frozen at $104,683,811 as of last Sunday. It did about 6.1 weekdays and looks like 8.5 weekend. It should be around 119.3m.

Looks about $1m short, just from Japan numbers, and other holdovers have been around 200k the last few weeks.
