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

japanese forum talking about 30b+ yet? You tell them about my crazy numbers?

Well, Corpse is now up to 30b ($300m) being 50% or better.

 

The film still shows no signs of slowing down... literally. It's on course to reach at least ¥25 billion ($240/250 million), but could certainly go even higher and perhaps challenge Spirited Away (¥30.4 billion) for the #1 All-Time spot. Surpassing Titanic (#2 All-Time) is looking like a near lock at this point. If it would reach ¥30 billion+, it'll have recorded a USD total likely above $300 million. $300 million. And I'd say that it has at least a 50% chance of doing it.

Yes, some of them begin to talk about the possibility ofsurpassing Spirited Away. However, only those whose IP address is in Japan have the right to post any message there.

Can all Frozen subbed showings be REPLACED by the dubbed version? I think that will really help Frozen's boxoffice in Japan.

It's not really necessary. It's not selling out anything to a great degree and there is clearly still a market for the English language version, however small.

Wow.

 

101,605 vs 7,496. The subbed version is outright flopping compared to the dubbed version.

not really, considering the number of seats that the english version has compared to the dubbed version.

[mfantin65]

Ensign, plot a course to intercept... engage!

bogie intercepted at week 15 captain!

You saying the english version would also be selling 101,605 admissions if it had 220,196 seats?

[BadAtGender]

No, but you're looking at it wrong. There is a small portion of the audience who wants to see the English language version. Even if it is a small fraction of the Japanese language version, it's not zero. Assuming the proportion is roughly the same throughout the run, that accounts for about 7% of the total gross, which could make a big difference in the end.

 

So, not a flop, but rather a nice value addition that costs next to nothing to do.

Which film do you guys think has a chance of getting within 100m usd of frozen in 2014 after it ends its run?

[Incarnadine]

I doubt anything in 2014 comes close, I'm not even sure there will be a billion $ WW movie this year. The Hobbit 3 and Transformers 4 have the best shots.

if it is as good as I hope it is, I wouldn't mind Interstellar breaking out on insane levels

[Olive]

According to report, Frozen subtitled to dubbed ratio is about 15:85, and 3D share is only 10%.

[BadAtGender]

Which film do you guys think has a chance of getting within 100m usd of frozen in 2014 after it ends its run?

 

Do you mean in Japan, worldwide, or domestically?

 

In Japan, it's likely to be quite a long time before something gets within $100m of Frozen's final total. Things on the horizon that could do it would include any Studio Ghibli film (although it remains to be seen whether any post-Miyazaki film can get to the same heights) and Avatar 2, I suppose. Perhaps Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, given how popular Harry Potter is, but the later films weren't as popular as the earlier ones.. And there's a chance that something from Pixar gets that big, but it's unlikely. The ceiling for Pixar seems to have been pretty well established.

 

As far as WW, Frozen's going to be looking at a final total north of 1.3b, possibly as much as 1.4b. There isn't anything on the schedule prior to Avengers 2 that is going to come sniffing close to that, unless Trans4mers really does well in China, and perhaps not even then. Avengers 2 should beat Frozen. Star Wars 7 may do it, but it could also come up short.

 

Domestically, Mockingjay will get within $100m of Frozen's total, and could beat it (although that's not guaranteed.) HTTYD2 also stands a shot at beating $300m, as does Trans4mers (although less likely there.) The final Hobbit film could see a bump up to those heights, but that's even less likely. There's a very slim chance X-Men does it.

Well, that's pretty optimistic. 1.8 million? Album sales in Japan have been declining since 2002, and even more rapidly in the last 8 years or so. These days, aside from AKB48, a popular Japanese girlband, nobody sells 1 million copies anymore. Only 1 album sold more than 1.5 million since 2006. Also, unlike box office, album sales in Japan are generally very frontloaded. It will get to 1 million but not that easily. And 1.4 million is even harder. But it's looking good so far, and it's Frozen, so anything could happen.

If you're talking about Japan, it will be years until a movie gets within $100m of Frozen's total. WW, nothing will do that this year I think.
