Weekend Ranking [06/21-22]

 

01 (01) Frozen (Disney) Week 15

02 (--) Mission Impossible: Samurai (Shochiku) DEBUT

03 (02) Noah (Paramount) Week 2

04 (03) Climbing to Spring (Toho) Week 2

05 (--) 300: Rise of an Empire (Warner Bros.) DEBUT

11 (--) The Round Table (Toho Video Division) DEBUT

 

>Frozen makes it 15th-consecutive weeks at #1, delivering one of its best holds in the past few weeks.  It dropped just -8.3% (-10.1% in admissions) earning ¥364,118,850 ($3.6 million) with 273,943 admissions.  

 

After 101 days in release, it has grossed ¥23.76 billion ($233.0 million) with 18,691,769 admissions.  It is still on track to exceed ¥25 billion ($250 million) and 20 million admissions, but I'm doubting it will manage to reach Titanic's ¥26.2 billion total to become the #2 film of all-time (#1 non-Japanese film), and reaching Spirited Away's ¥30.4 billion total is almost impossible now.  

 

>Mission Impossible: Samurai got off to a nice start, taking in ¥200,902,800 ($2.0 million) with 160,528 admissions on 251 screens.  This makes it distributor Shochiku's best opening of the year, and it shouldn't have any trouble exceeding the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone either.

 

>300: Rise of an Empire came in higher than estimates, but still had a very poor debut of ¥87,304,100 ($856,000) with 57,642 admissions on 533 screens.  If it gets lucky, then it can earn ¥400 million ($4 million), which would be 74% less than the original 300.

 

>Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary had a modest opening of ¥82,032,900 ($804,000) with 55,252 admissions on 145 screens.  Considering the low screen count, the figure itself isn't too bad, but I'm sure Toei was expecting a bit more.  The film looks like it cost quite a bit as well.

 

>3 Days to Kill makes a surprise showing in the Top 10.  No estimate could be gathered, which generally means an outright horrible figure, and while the debut is certainly very weak, at least it made the Top 10.  It grossed ¥41,203,400 ($404,000) with 33,176 admission on 184 screens.

[Mojoguy]

Mission Impossible: Samurai? Any relation to the Mission Impossible movies and show from America?

[Corpse]

Nope.  It's a edo period comedy about the shogunate of Japan and sankin-kotai.

Do the All-Time numbers in Japan include re-releases?

[Corpse]

Do the All-Time numbers in Japan include re-releases?

No, re-releases are counted separately.   Re-releases pretty much always bomb anyway, so the rankings wouldn't really change besides Finding Nemo breaking that 19th place tie in on the top grossing list, and maybe Star Wars Episode I moving up one or two spots on the top admissions list.  

[katniss]

Unbelievable run by Frozen.  Too bad the DVD release announcement cut its legs there, the same way it did here in the U.S.

 

Several friends and acquaintances didn't bother seeing it in theatres and just ended up waiting for the HD download or blurays.

Remember when we first got excited at the prospect of Frozen *possibly* breaking up Miyazaki's "Royal Flush" of the top five animated films in Japan, and that it might actually pass The Wind Rises?

 

That changed in a hurry.

[Omni]

Remember when we got excited at the prospect of Frozen surpassing Spirited Away in Yen and overtaking Harry Potter 8 on the all-time worldwide list?

 

That changed in a hurry.

 

 

(sorry, I'll start to look at the 'bright side' in a month or so)

Lol don't forget how Frozen might even challenge MU's gross. That escalated quickly.

[Quigley]

This single-digit drop is back to "normal". I wonder if it will maintain this momentum from now on.

Are they still showing other movies in Japan?

When did the DVD announcement occur in Japan?  If the announcement happened in late May to early June, this chart CLEARLY and INCONTROVERTIBLY shows the effects of that stupid decision.
