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

[Annayya]

Spirited Away actually hasn't been released on Blu Ray yet.  It just so happens to finally be released on the format TOMORROW though.

 

Wow ... I feel like this was planned on purpose because of Frozen. Why else would they wait this long and choose this time out of no where.

Anyway, since the movie is 12 years old I doubt if it would sell more than 100,000.

What are the pre-orders looking like?

Huh? You're joking right?

No

[Fullbuster]

No

 

I mean,Ghibli and animated movies can't split up,they go together.If people like Ghibli it's only thanks to that. I don't understand how they could stop, what else would they do?

may be miyazaki will be back for another one. Plus Borrower's arriety did succeed without miyazaki and so its not as if they cannot make successful movies.

 

They should make Porco Rosso sequel for sure.

Frozen was released only in March, I think it takes a bit longer than that to plan a blu ray release.

Arrietty still had Miyazaki write it.

 

Memories of Marnie is the first Ghibli film without any involvement by him whatsoever.

143,157 (-17%) - Maleficent (Week 3)

120,558 - Pokemon XY: The Cocoon of Destruction & Diancie (NEW)

111,538 - Memories of Marnie (NEW)[/highlight]

Who would have thought Maleficent would be looking at a weekend drop in the 20% range against four wide openers, one being the latest Studio Ghibli film, the other the newest Pokemon?  

 

Unless Aeon Cinemas was very, very favorable towards Pokemon, Maleficent looks to repeat atop the box-office for a third-consecutive week.  Pokemon still likely won the weekend in admissions (I know, it doesn't look like it above, but it plays much strong at Aeon Cinemas), but Maleficent closed the gap considerably after a massive Sunday.  

 

My weekend projections:

 

¥460-480 million ($4.6-4.8 million) / 340,000-360,000 admissions - Maleficent (Week 3)

¥395-415 million ($3.9-4.1 million) / 370,000-390,000 admissions - Pokemon XY (NEW)

¥320-340 million ($3.2-3.4 million) / 260,000-280,000 admissions - Memories of Marnie (NEW)

¥140-160 million ($1.4-1.6 million) / 120,000-130,000 admissions - Kamen Rider Gaim (NEW)

¥120-130 million ($1.2-1.3 million) - Edge of Tomorrow (Week 3)

¥90-100 million ($0.9-1.0 million) - Say, "I Love You" (Week 2)

¥80-85 million ($0.8-0.9 million) / 65,000-75,000 admissions - Planes: Fire & Rescue (NEW)

¥75-80 million ($0.7-0.8 million)  - Frozen (Week 19)

¥70-75 million ($0.7-0.8 million) - Mission Impossible: Samurai (Week 5)

¥30-35 million ($0.3-0.4 million) - Thirst (Week 4)

 

Since Monday is a holiday, estimates likely won't be released and actuals will be available on Tuesday.
