Biggest day for BH6

Here's another chart I didn't update last week (busy week for me).

But last weekend earned itself the Biggest Fall/Winter Weekend and the 8th Biggest Overall Weekend (since at least 2001):

Biggest Weekends (Top 10) [2001-]
01. ¥3.601 billion - 07/09-10/2005 (#1 Film - Star Wars: Episosde III: Revenge of the Sith)
02. ¥3.427 billion - 05/03-04/2014 (#1 Film - Frozen)
03. ¥3.423 billion - 07/19-20/2003 (#1 Film - Bayside Shakedown: Save the Rainbow Bridge!)
04. ¥3.329 billion - 07/21-22/2007 (#1 Film - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)
05. ¥3.314 billion - 07/22-23/2006 (#1 Film - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest)
06. ¥3.160 billion - 04/17-18/2010 (#1 Film - Alice in Wonderland)
07. ¥3.048 billion - 07/21-22/2001 (#1 Film - Spirited Away)
08. ¥3.046 billion - 12/20-21/2014 (#1 Film - Yo-Kai Watch: It's the Secret of Birth, Nyan!)
09. ¥2.963 billion - 07/17-18/2010 (#1 Film - Arrietty)
10. ¥2.960 billion - 07/18-19/2009 (#1 Film - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
Out: ¥2.917 billion - 07/10-11/2010 (#1 Film - Toy Story 3)

2011, 2012, and 2013 didn't have any weekend make the list, so for 2014 to have two (#2 and #8) is incredible.

Let's see if 2015 can deliver a Top 10 weekend now. Golden Week (late April) is crowded, the usual mid-July weekend looks promising, and December has the next Star Wars and Yo-Kai Watch (and possibly more unannounced blockbusters).

[Fullbuster]

Japan will have Avengers 2 in July, like Avengers in 2012

[edroger3]

Seeing the success of Maleficent, if Cinderella will be released with Frozen short here, it could be #1 movie in 2015.

It will have competition with both Dragon Ball and Conan being released the previous weekend. Is Furious big in Japan by the way ? 

[eXtacy]

I thought BH6 would be doing more since its clearly taylored towards the Japanese

[Olive]

Baymax may match Yo-kai's admissions on Tuesday ,and it will beat it in gross for sure thanks to its higher ticket price.

Well, its OW was impressive, it's holding really well so far, and it's heading to a great total. It's gonna be one of the biggest movies of 2015 in Japan. How much more do you expect?

Tomorrow is Ladies' Day in Japan, this means BH6 should easily win in admissions. Today's numbers suggest it might actually also win on thursday, we'll see.

That means BH6 grossed more than Yokai this Tuesday, I knew BH6 would end up being ahead of it That's wonderful

What is the average ticket price in yen for Big Hero 6, both adult and child tickets?

[edroger3]

What is the average ticket price in yen for Big Hero 6, both adult and child tickets?

In OW the average tickets price is 1295 yen. You can obtain the daily gross (roughly estimate) with the Toho admissions multiplier: 65x in normal days and 55x in discounted days. To know discounted days and Toho price list see the link below http://www.tohotheater.jp/theater/073/price.html
