So how much can a movie make in Japan if every single person in Japan buys a ticket to go see that movie?

[Omni]

I find Frozen's run in Japan very agonising. It is the one and only rare market where films are not at all front-loaded. Films that are very front-loaded in the US (e.g. 2x multiplier) can get a 4x multiplier in Japan and so on. However, this makes everything move very slowly. Yes, Frozen is capable of having decreases smaller than 10% but that just means our expectations rise higher and higher and we have to wait more and more for them to come true. And also, ONE WEEKEND with a very high drop (e.g. -30%) from now on could be enough to destroy all our hopes.

That almost mirrors my thoughts. I've been following the Japanese box office for years, and noticed sometimes there are just some overall bad weekends that are hardly explainable, or even if the causes are clear, they couldn't be foreseen. One single missstep and every optimistic thought is thrown to the nettle.

If it was Godzilla or some other film I reasonably/moderately root for, I'd get caught in the flow and start to lock milestones and to project the sky. Would be a lot of fun, and if I turn out to be wrong, no big deal. This just doesn't apply in Frozen's case.

This is not exactly agony. This is angst. Delightful angst.

 

That's $7.966m

No. That's crazy.

About $1.7b id say. (127.9m people X $13.50 per ticket) Edited May 19, 2014 by Catching Robertron

[Quigley]

Once again, above ¥800M!!! This is unbelievable. Higher than weekend #1, #7 and #9. Should we be expecting another increase this weekend? Well, with Monday at +41% from last Monday, I see no reason why we shoudln't. 

[lab276]

No. That's crazy.

That's what it converts to.

[Quigley]

I know a film that would out-gross Frozen!

 

Pixar's Pacific Rim

It's worth pointing out that the most successful films in Japan (Spirited Away, Titanic, Howl's and now Frozen) have female protagonists. Edited May 19, 2014 by lab276

Yeah, that might explain it, but i wasnt the one who found this information

 

 

if it increases this week its just crazy. Dont know what to say. At least we can lock it beating SA USD gross. I dont think how anyone can go lower than that after this weekend and no competition for a while. 

 

BTW I was looking at school holidays in Japan and I see a week of summer half term holidays starting next week. How will that benefit Frozen's weekdays.

These are holidays for Japanese School, 87 Creffield Road, Acton, London, not for Japan!

 

In Japan:

 

State/Public Schools

The school year is the same as the fiscal year in Japan, beginning on 1 April and ending on 31 March. There are three terms in the school year with a break in between each term:

  Summer holiday - from the end of July until the end of August (usually 30-40 days)   Winter holiday - from the end of December to the beginning of January (usually two weeks)   Spring holiday - from the end of March to the beginning of April (usually two weeks)

Here is something bizarre. It requires two big ifs. Right now the dollar is breaking key support, down 1%. 80k bump for the weekend.If the dollar breaks down again and the yen returns to its all time highs by the end of the year to 76 and...If frozen gets to 400mWith the way subers calculates international BO by using the most recent exchange rate for the entire run. It would come to $533m.The Avengers WW would be surpassed on BOM. Lol

So its a bump on its own accord. This wave is getting bigger.

Wow! 800m yen and almost $8m weekend! Elsa & Anna are teasing us. It's like, "Hmm maybe it's finally starting to slow down. Oh wait, nope, false alarm. It's the opposite." lol. Also that $179m estimated total was waay too low, again.

 

And 33% total increase on Monday! If it behaves like Monday for the rest of weekdays this week, which may or may not be due to mid term holidays, it's likely that by the end of this coming weekend, Frozen will have crossed 20b yen! It only needs 1.47b yen.
