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

[Hider]

Frozen avg ticket price... 1261yen 

 

*$12.4

 

Toy Story 3.... $126,660,533 [7.2m adm]

 

avg ticket price *$17.5

 

That's annoying. The ex-rate can't be so unstable.

Frozen avg ticket price... 1261yen 

 

*$12.4

 

Toy Story 3.... $126,660,533 [7.2m adm]

 

avg ticket price *$17.5

 

TS3 was 10.8b in yen, so the avg ticket price is 1500 yen. That's very high. I guess 3D was huge back then.

[mfantin65]

Disney reports Q2 studio entertainment revenue $1.8B Disney reported Studio Entertainment revenues for the quarter increased 35% to $1.8B and segment operating income increased to $475M from $118M. Higher operating income was due to increases in domestic home entertainment, international theatrical and television and subscription video on demand distribution results. The increase in domestic home entertainment was due to higher unit sales, which reflected the success of Frozen and Thor: The Dark World in the current quarter compared to Wreck-It Ralph and no comparable Marvel title in the prior-year quarter. :theflyonthewall.com

Alice in Wonderland(2010).  I think that was the same situation in Japan

 

$133,694,649 (7.3m admissions)

And Avatar was the trigger. With TS3's 3D share and exchange rates, Frozen would have been over $220m by now lol.

[Incarnadine]

And TASM2 12-day total: 1.97 billion yen= $19.3M

By the end of their runs Frozen might end up with more admissions than TASM2 has dollars.in Japan.

GW has finished in Japan?

[spizzer]

From the way I see it, Frozen getting a post-GW multiplier of 20x (or close to that) would arguably represent its biggest achievement.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but no movie in the recent history of cinema has ever broken this simple rule: every phenomenon (aka uber-leggy film) has to slow down sooner or later. Momentum can't be kept for half a year. In fact, movies like Titanic, Avatar, Spirited Away, ecc all show that it generally starts to slow down after a max of 2 months of release or so.

Let's take Titanic (dom) and Spirited Away (Japan) as the most extreme examples of movie phenomenon.

Titanic's overall multiplier: 21.5x // Titanic's post-VD multiplier: 8.5

Spirited Away's overall multiplier: 30x // SA's post-summer multiplier: 10x

In both cases, and in every other case of leggy movies (expanding films like the fat greek wedding don't count, for obvious reasons), at some point the multiplier reduces to much less than half of its overall multiplier. Also, stronger overall legs lead to a lower ratio, as the loss of the momentum has a bigger relative effects in that case.

Assuming a 7M 9th weekend and a 167M total, Frozen would gross 230M using Spirited Away's ratio. And that's Spirited Away's ratio, not Ratatouille's. 230M would also be it's total gross with a 30x multiplier, the limit so far in Japan.

 

20x would put Frozen in a league on its own and would definitely make it the craziest box office run of all time.

Also, that's why I think it won't get close to 300. Titanic and Spirited Away probably suggest the presence of a structural limit.

 

I agree on all counts.  ~300M would probably make the most impressive BO run of all time in my eyes, but the logistics don't work out in a practical sense.

Add in Monday and Tuesday, and Ponyo is done.  Howl looks very likely - extremely likely if you prefer to go by the ¥19.6B total that the Japanese sites seem to believe.  Even with the boost, Spirited Away is still way ahead, and it's already near the best-case scenario for legs.  I still say it's not happening.

[Incarnadine]

So, the numbers were a bit off up until Sunday. BOM had it at 143.2, which most of us thought looked at least a million low, but doing a little math...

 

156.933 - 12.562 (mon-tues) = 144.371

 

That Wed number seems ok, although I was hoping it would hold over 2m.

 

12.562 Mon-Tues, 1.8 Wed, maybe another 1.8 for Thurs-Fri and a 6.5-7m weekend. Looks like 22.6-23.2m week

GW has finished in Japan?

yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Week_(Japan)

 

I think Tuesday was Substitute holiday.

Murgatroyd, can you do a version of your first chart which shows the weekly totals for comparison instead of the weekends?

[catlover]

Only $1,8 million this Wednesday? Has dropped so much...

 

Golden Week is over, Tuesday was the last day. So naturally it dropped big today, just like other movies. Frozen held pretty well actually.

Also, I think 4 consecutive days of holidays deflated Wednesday a little. Some went to the cinema earlier instead of waiting till Wed for a price reduction.

From the way I see it, Frozen getting a post-GW multiplier of 20x (or close to that) would arguably represent its biggest achievement.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but no movie in the recent history of cinema has ever broken this simple rule: every phenomenon (aka uber-leggy film) has to slow down sooner or later. Momentum can't be kept for half a year. In fact, movies like Titanic, Avatar, Spirited Away, ecc all show that it generally starts to slow down after a max of 2 months of release or so.

Let's take Titanic (dom) and Spirited Away (Japan) as the most extreme examples of movie phenomenon.

Titanic's overall multiplier: 21.5x // Titanic's post-VD multiplier: 8.5

Spirited Away's overall multiplier: 30x // SA's post-summer multiplier: 10x

In both cases, and in every other case of leggy movies (expanding films like the fat greek wedding don't count, for obvious reasons), at some point the multiplier reduces to much less than half of its overall multiplier. Also, stronger overall legs lead to a lower ratio, as the loss of the momentum has a bigger relative effects in that case.

Assuming a 7M 9th weekend and a 167M total, Frozen would gross 230M using Spirited Away's ratio. And that's Spirited Away's ratio, not Ratatouille's. 230M would also be it's total gross with a 30x multiplier, the limit so far in Japan.

 

20x would put Frozen in a league on its own and would definitely make it the craziest box office run of all time.

Also, that's why I think it won't get close to 300. Titanic and Spirited Away probably suggest the presence of a structural limit.

Spirited away did 20 x post summer weekend

Well, than 10x from its 9th weekend, which is exactly after 2 months of release. Just thought SA had summer weekdays for 8 weeks.
