Not an estimate but an actual, it was at ¥3.28 billion as of last Sunday.

[edroger3]

Saturday: Cinderella almost doubles other competitors on 5 chains and is going to win its fourth weekend in a row with a drop of only 4% vs past Sat. Total should be around 3,8Byen and 3M+ admissions. Cindy will outpace Conan in next midweek. Run All night is at #9 with around 25K admissions and Spongebob is out of top ten, both have around 10% saturation.

[CalifoBoy]

This is great news. 

 

So as Ella finally grossed more than 30 million dollars this far?

[edroger3]

This is great news. 

 

So as Ella finally grossed more than 30 million dollars this far?

Around 32M$ as at today if the estimate will be confirmed.

[Asyulus]

Can Cindy still hit $600m?

[edroger3]

Weekend estimates: As predicted Cinderella easily wins. According with 5-chains numbers it should be down only 8% vs last weekend for a gross of about 300MYen and a total very close to 4B and 3M admissions, which are around the same of Maleficent over its 4th weekend (4,05B/3,04M), even if, cause of weaker exchange rate, the gross in USD is 20% lower. Biri-gal confirm 2nd spot (-13%), Conan is #4 (-30%) with 100M and totals 4B/3,2M. FF7 is #6 (-28%) and very close to 3B milestone, DBZ #8 (-23%). Run all Night should be #9 with 60Myen and Spongebob out of top ten.

[edroger3]

Can Cindy still hit $600m?

Absolutely no. It needs 79M$ and the only market seriously in play is Japan: should do over 100M$ here and even if it's doing very well, this is impossible. I think 550 is the final number.

[Asyulus]

Absolutely no. It needs 79M$ and the only market seriously in play is Japan: should do over 100M$ here and even if it's doing very well, this is impossible. I think 550 is the final number.

Oh and I didnt realized that the OS run excluding Japan is finished.

[scabab]

So a ¥97 million weekend for DBZ?

[CalifoBoy]

Absolutely no. It needs 79M$ and the only market seriously in play is Japan: should do over 100M$ here and even if it's doing very well, this is impossible. I think 550 is the final number.

What? Are you saying Cindy will gross 100 million dollars in Japan?! That seems very unlikely...

[CalifoBoy]

I hope Cindy could at least reach the 50 million dollar mark in Japan.

Some very impressive holds this weekend.

>Cinderella claims a 4th-consecutive week atop the box-office, and should be quite close to ¥4 billion. If it continues holding this well, then ¥5 billion ($40 million+) will come pretty easy and ¥6 billion ($50 million+) could be in play.

>Kakekomi (not sure what it's being translated to in English, the full title doesn't translate well), opened pretty well for popular director Masato Harada. His films are generally well-received and go on to have great legs, so reaching ¥1 billion is likely.

>Detective Conan is closing in on ¥4 billion; Dragon Ball Z inches closer to ¥3.5 billion; Furious 7 looks to have broke ¥3 billion; and Crayon Shin-chan is likely to exceed ¥2 billion.

The four films mentioned above have already become the highest-grossing film in their respective franchise, or are on track to become the biggest film in their franchise.

2015 has already achieved many record-breakers, from franchise records, all-time records, opening weekend records, weekend records and more, and we're only half-way through the year!

Outside of the Top 12 (13th/14th), The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water bombed with less than ¥20 million ($150,000 or so) according to estimates.

[edroger3]

FF7 Actuals : 108M weekend (-27%) - 3,054B (25M$) total with 2,195M admissions.

[edroger3]

Cinderella actuals: 305M weekend (-2%, it seems that the 5 chains market share is lower than the past weekend) - 4Byen and 3,16M admissions, on par of Maleficent in Yen, a bit better in tickets sold (+5%) and down in $ (33,6M vs 39,5M) over their 4th weekend.

Run All Night 64M and 50k admissions.

-2%! Wow great legs for Cinderella. Maybe it can surpass Maleficent after all (in Yen and adm). And yay to FF7 passing 3b yen!

Great hold for Cindy also in 5th week Monday (-7%) and easily at #1 on 5-chains.

Out of question from what I know: no upcoming holiday for it.
