And if it holds off All-Around Appraiser Q on May 31st, then it'll be aiming for 12+ straight weeks atop the box-office. And as I've mentioned before, there is potential for it to remain at #1 until July.

Anyone have an idea how big Godzilla might be in Japan? It's dropping a week after the next Ghibli film, and is followed up two weeks later by Trans4mers. I wonder if the competition might be pretty hefty for it, and if the market isn't especially interested. (Pac Rim only did $14m, and Godzilla: Final Wars did just $12m.)

like everything else, from corpse:

I think it'll have subdued opening weekend given the reception of the last Hollywood Godzilla film, but will develop good legs and finish with a nice total if the film is good. 

I don't know if I'd expect more than ¥3-4 billion ($30/40 million), though. Godzilla was huge in the 50's and 60's (the franchise has a few films on the Top 50 Most-Attended Films of All-Time), but over time his popularity waned and films from the 80's and 90's all disappointed barely making more than ¥1 billion until the final film, Godzilla: Final Wars, was released in 2004 to disappointing numbers, too.

The new film has a prime release date in late July, in the middle of Summer Vacation and a couple weeks before Obon Week, so that'll help.

And Toho (which produced all 28 Japanese Godzilla films) is part of the production team for the new Godzilla, and they'll be handling the film's distribution in the market rather than Warner Bros. as well. This is a positive that will help the film out I believe, and retaining the original Godzilla's appearance (mostly) may help assure audiences it won't be an abomination like Hollywood's last effort.

Hmm... $30m would be quite good for it. Pacific Rim only did $14m and it had a similar release date.

[mfantin65]

Frozen just beat ow.7.6-8.0m estimateLast week the evening was weak at toho and sunday was only up 12% instead of 20% from saturday. Up 6% along with a very strong movix and 109 performance, 7.6m is the low end. If this evening and sunday return to it normal saturday afternoon multiplier, it has shot at 8m. Do you see 300m now?

by backing out the extra 2700 from 109s discount day we get an 8.3% overall increase from TMK1 that will properly reflect the rest of the market place for the rest of the weekend. 109 is just 4.5% of the market. The 5000 extra at 109 last sat was just 1% of total weekend admissions. That adjusts to a 7.3% increase as the rest of the weekend will follow suit based on frozens consistent weekend trend

46520(TMK1) x 2.1 (sat eve) x 2.15(sun) x 2.78(TMK1 mrkt share) x 13.20 (tix price)= 7.7m

Ifn it follows week 4,5,6 trend

46520 x 2.2 x 2.2 x 2.78 x 13.20=8.2m
