Down to second position? 

 

Third actually.

[RexTheMan14]

Godzilla fell to third place? How? Why? Is it bad word of mouth like everywhere else?

Either that or the other two films barely dropped. Let's just hope Godzilla does better in the weekend.

[Jose Gabriel Alvarez]

Wasn't there something that said 89% of the Japanese audience liked Godzilla?

[Cynosure]

Wednesday is Ladies' Day (discount for women) and Godzilla is probably attracting more men compared to Malificient or Marnie hence a smaller effect. Wait for tomorrow's numbers before being so pessimistic.

[FrozenUnicorn]

Lets not forget the story the moments that just have people crying.... That ending of her saving Jake and not caring hes human and screaming my Jake!! EPIC Film making.

 

I actuall think  the sequels may increase each time on  a gigantic scale... So one of those films may go over 4B WW.. So  this could be the greatest run ever in the history of sequels.. 12-14+B by the end is definitely possible.

 

 Could be a scenario .. Avatar 2 3.3-3.6B, Avatar 3 --4b+, Avatar 4.. Oh my 4.5-5B WW ...

 

I thought the Avatar movies were a trilogy.  There's not supposed to be an Avatar 4.

The biggest chain in Japan, Aeon Cinema, decided to again extend Frozen's run for another week....

 

 

Do you think its a trick to get more people to see it as a "last chance" in theatres?

Any chance for more Frozen is good in my book.

I believe Godzilla vs Mothra (1992) was the highest grossing film of the year in Japan.

Calm down.

 

Wednesday is Ladies Day in Japan.  Women get half-off, so films targeting women do extremely well on Wednesdays.

Porco Rosso.

You had an update (somewhere round March or April) on the state of the box office for the year and it was overall kinda meh IIRC. Will there be another one of those?

I have an update for January-June coming up.

[Godzilla]

+21.6% is fantastic, but Frozen had a HUUUUGE part in that. 

[Corpse]

Warner Bros. is about to get a huge boost with the two part sequel to Rurouni Kenshin, the first half is being released this weekend and pre-sales sales look very, very strong already, and the second part being released in September.  Combined, they'll more than double their first 6 months tally above.

more than $100M, is that what you mean?

[Hilderic]

Has it been posted already that Frozen has now sold 1.8 million copies in Blu-Ray? Sorry if it has:http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-07-29/japan-animation-blu-ray-disc-ranking-july-20-27/.77102

[Corpse]

No.  Warner Bros. has earned $51 million (as of the end of June) for the year, but the two parts of the Rurouni Kenshin sequel will make more than twice that amount combined.  Pre-sales actually look so good for the first half opening this weekend, that it alone could approach that number ($40 million maybe).  

[Corpse]

I actually see where my wording is confusing now.

 

Basically, the two Rurouni Kenshin films will make more than what Warner Bros. has earned for the first-half of the year so far. lol.

Thanks!

Corpse, do you have the imported/local shares ? With Frozen being such a huge success, I was wondering if imported films might get over 50% for the first time in almost a decade.
