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

[Murgatroyd]

Treating Mon-Tue as an extension of this weekend, and applying a small drop to pre-GW figures for Wed-Sun, I'll go with a total of $23.10M.

[BadAtGender]

I'm gonna stick with my last prediction.  24.601

[LABAS]

This morning presale is crazier than yesterday. Even the big screen early shows have been sold 80%...

This is also true in Aeon, Japan's biggest chain...

100 k TOHO admission is verly likely today, in my opnion..

[mfantin65]

this week will be another one both fun and hard to predict. Mon and Tues are holidays, wed-fri may have a gw boost effect or not. Will the weekend hold above OW one more time? Predictions due by 13:00 Tokyo time before Monday's numbers roll in.For the week.

May 5 to May 11: Frozen will make $21.65M.

Frozen's Path to ¥20 billion+ ($200 million+)

¥763 million ($7.5 million)
¥872 million ($8.5 million), +13%, ¥3.01 billion ($29.6 million)
¥881 million ($8.6 million), +01%, ¥5.28 billion ($51.6 million)
¥850 million ($8.3 million), -03%, ¥7.71 billion ($74.8 million)
¥841 million ($8.2 million), -01%, ¥9.28 billion ($90.7 million) 
¥826 million ($8.1 million), -02%, ¥10.73 billion ($104.8 million) 
¥772 million ($7.6 million), -07%, ¥12.10 billion ($118.4 million) 
¥1.09 billion ($10.8 million), +40%, ¥14.50 billion ($142.2 million) *Estimate*

 

Top 10-All Time

01 :: ¥30.40 billion ($244.0 million) - Spirited Away (2001)

02 :: ¥26.20 billion ($212.0 million) - Titanic (1997)
03 :: ¥22.00 billion ($207.0 million) - Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
04 :: ¥20.30 billion ($163.7 million) - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)
05 :: ¥19.30 billion ($165.5 million) - Princess Mononoke (1997)
06 :: ¥17.35 billion ($164.5 million) - Bayside Shakedown: Save the Rainbow Bridge! (2003)
07 :: ¥17.30 billion ($147.8 million) - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
08 :: ¥15.60 billion ($188.7 million) - Avatar (2009)
09 :: ¥15.50 billion ($156.0 million) - Ponyo (2008)
10 :: ¥14.50 billion ($142.2 million) - Frozen (2014) *Estimate*
-¥13.70 billion ($126.7 million) - The Last Samurai (2003)

 

Bye-bye to The Last Samurai. It was in the Top 10 for eleven years, but Frozen had no trouble knocking it out this past weekend. And Frozen is about a ¥1 billion away now from Ponyo and Avatar, which it'll more than likely surpass before next weekend. And beating Harry Potter 2 and Bayside Shakedown 2 is practically a lock now as well.

[Queen Elsa Arendelle]

I will go with 20.50 millions!

各映画館は大盛況の様子で何よりですが、各WEBサイトもかなり重くなってました。現在迄の状況をみると以下のようですが、109以外はほぼ問題ないようです。TOHO：3回/1369回109：150回/460回KINEZO：0回/461回MOVIX：0回/597回

 

The webiste says that too many people swarm into the ticketing systerm, so there is something wrong

with today's number. TOHO is ok, only 3 runs lost out of 1369 runs

and 109 is terriblw, 150 out of 460 , nearly 1/3 .

So, today's 109 number is meaningless...

[edroger3]

Toho 14.30 60293 new record!

[LABAS]

Toho 14.30 60293 new record!

It should be 60683.By the way, 180 full house of English singalongis not listed in the TOP 32 lines.If we put this into consideration, the real number is 60863.

[edroger3]

Kinezo 15093 +23% yesterday

[Rudolf]

The first idea to enter ones mind to explain the relative underperformace of Frozen in South America is the Winter motive, but then there is Ice Age which did very well there with a hyper Winter motive.

wait.... 

 

14:30 Update Number [TOHO]

 

 

*Total  - 60863 / 73132................  83.2% saturation

 

 

*Sing-Along -  10547 / 12037........ 87.6% saturation

I like how other movies have been relegated to footnotes at this point.

[edroger3]

Toho: afternoon shows almost all soldout, could be 100k at 19.00, but in evening/night less admissons and small screens for a total 110/115k. For tomorrow there are yet some soldout or near.

This thread is going to be far less fun once Frozen finishes its run.

 

OTOH, at this pace, that might be sometime next year, so we've got a while yet.
