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

[Mojoguy]

So in Japan, Big Hero 6 has been renamed "Baymax". Funnily, I thought it would be called "Hiro and Baymax". And some spoilers have been leaked.http://www.cinemacafe.net/article/2014/05/28/23705.html

I just want Frozen to beat Spirited Away's record in yen. Is that too much to hope for?

So all of this 300m talk is for real. Oh my oh my. I don't even know what to predict. I'll just say 317.8m, just higher than HP1's DOM total, and enough to push it over HP8's WW total ;D

It'll be interesting to know YTD admissions compared to previous years. I wonder if Frozen is actually making a difference or if everything is doing worse because of it. The most attended year since 1974 is 2010 and that didn't really have a major major hit like 2001 did or 2014 has, just a whole bunch of very successful films (Avatar, TS3, Alice, Arrietty).2001, despite Spirited Away's, success doesn't even rank in the top 3 years of the decade. But it was a huge step up over the previous 15 years.

Even Omni has gone batshit crazy 

 

Still very very very skeptical about 300M. Hopefully this weekend makes me jump on your wagon.

What happened to 109 again?

Well, last Thursday was 109 lovebirds discount day, two for 2200 yen...so , although we see 25% drop in adm, the real drop in BO should be less than 10%

From the article:

“Frozen” follows with 20.03 billion yen and is expected to pass “Harry Potter” sometime in June.

 

LOL. It will get there today. And the last time I checked it's still May.
