Pretty strong post-Spring Break weekend. Overall, the Top 10 drops are better than the average post-Spring Break weekend.

>Doraemon and Assassination Classroom are pretty close at the top, with the latter actually winning at the usual locations in admissions and gross. However, Doraemon plays very well at Aeon Cinemas, so it's likely to stay on top in the national ranking.

Doraemon typically collapses after Spring Break, so I don't think it'll be the first film in the franchise to reach ¥4 billion, but it's going to come quite close.

Assassination Classroom is holding up much better than most films that receive stage greetings on opening weekend, and while it is likely due to Spring Break, it's still impressive. It'll exceed ¥2.5 billion ($20 million) with no problem now, though ¥3 billion ($25 million) may be too much to ask for after that.

>April Fools did okay, though its weekend is very deflated having opened on Wednesday. It's very, very rare for any film to open mid-week, but Toho was smart enough to take advantage of April 1st since that day alone accounted for nearly 1/3 of its 5-day ticket sales at the usual locations. It's probably not going to reach the ¥1 billion milestone.

>Into the Woods and Strobe Edge continue their close race after opening against each other. Into the Woods opened 28% higher, but its so-so weekly holds have allowed Strobe Edge to close the gap with its strong weekday numbers. Strobe Edge already pulled ahead in admissions last week, and may very well pass Into the Woods in gross by the end of their runs, too.

So the number to beat to be ahead of BH6 for the year is ~5.66b.

Based on this:

Thanks, that's close enough. So BH6 had just under 3.48b, YKW had just under 4.9b.

Dead thread is dead.

At least until Frozen 2 (the 80% of this thread is Frozen-related and a lot of member are registered here thanks to Frozen fever) or maybe when Cinderella, FF7 and Age of Ultron opened.

Well in the meantime I'm looking forward to the 'Dragon Ball Z' vs 'Detective Conan' battle next weekend. Hard to say which movie will come out on top for the first weekend and overall.

I am gonna go with Dragon Ball Z but the annual Detective Conan movies have been amazingly consistent at the box office and it can come out on top too.

[Cynosure]

I think DBZ will open higher in gross especially since it has 4DX screenings increasing its average ticket price but I think Conan will end up with the higher total at the end of their runs. In admissions, I think Conan will be higher both for the opening weekend and the total.

I agree.With Kaito kid, A well received spin-off(Magic kaito 1412)and trailer, it should be able to out-gross DC vs Lupin (4.06 million Yen) and become the highest DC movie yet,but competition (nostalgia-driven dbz) might just slow it down a bit.

4.06 billion yen was last year's regular movie's gross. DC vs Lupin grossed around 4.2 billion yen and that was before the VTA increase in april 2014. Honestly, I'm not convinced it will top 4 billion yen this year.

No plot (unlike last year's movie) and not a crossover with another franchise (unlike DC vs Lupin).
