Has anyone got the OW for Pixar films and their respective final grosses?

PIXAR Films, Opening Weekend / Final Gross:

 

#1. Toy Story 3, $11.1 million / $130.7 million

#2. Finding Nemo, $8.4 million / $102.44 million

#3. Monsters University, $8.37 million / $91.3 million

#4. Monsters Incorporated, $4.5 million / $76.8 million

#5. Up, $7.2 million / $60.5 million

#6. The Incredibles, $7.3 million / $51.1 million

#7. Wall-E, $4.8 million / $44.2 million

#8. Cars 2, $4.9 million / $39 million

#9. Ratatouille, $4.2 million / $36.3 million

#10. Toy Story 2, $29.9 million  

#11. Cars, $3.5 million / $19 million

#12. Toy Story, $17.1 million

#13. Brave, $1.9 million / $11.9 million 

#14. A Bug's Life, $8.3 million

   

 

PIXAR Films Gross in Yen, Opening Weekend / Total Gross:

 

1996, Toy Story - Y1.5 billion 

1998, A Bug's Life - Y1.15 billion

1999, Toy Story 2 - Y3.45 billion

2002, Monsters Inc. - Y9.37 billion

2003, Finding Nemo - Y898 million / Y11.0 billion 

2004, The Incredibles - Y751.9 million / Y5.26 billion 

2006, Cars - Y381.2 million / Y2.23 billion 

2007, Ratatouille - Y504.9 million / Y3.9 billion 

2008, Wall-E - Y449.6 million / Y4.0 billion 

2009, Up - Y627.7 million / Y5 billion 

2010, Toy Story 3 - Y977.3 million / Y10.8 billion

2011, Cars 2 - Y458.2 million / Y3.01 billion 

2012, Brave - Y147.8 million / Y930 million   

2013, Monsters University - Y847.4 million / Y8.96 billion

 

It took me a few hours to compile so some of the data may be incorrect.  Corpse had a data table of PIXAR opening weekends and final grosses but the one he made during 2010 had all the titles from 1996 - 2010 adjusted to 2010's exchange rate and I tried to find the one he made during Monsters University's run but navigating through World of KJ is pretty tough.  I'll probably ask Corpse to check it since I got the data from several sites I found credible: Box Office Mojo, World of KJ, Deadline, Numbers, etc...

Hero 2 looks to be a safe #1 over the holiday weekend, but predicting which films come in second, third, and fourth is proving to be a challenge...

The Boy and the Beast, Inside Out, and Pokemon are difficult to actually rank, because they should earn similar numbers over the weekend based on my data. 

Despite all three being animated films, they attract very different audiences: 

>Beast has been playing very well with teens and young adults, so it performs very well in the afternoon and early evening. It's hard to read what the morning ticket sales mean for the actual day/weekend when this happens, so we have to play the waiting game as see how the later showings perform.

>Pokemon plays incredibly well in the AM hours and very early afternoon, but it comes to a halt once the evening hits (75/80%+ of its ticket sales occur before 3PM). It's way ahead of them right now in sales, but that probably won't be the case come the evening updates. 

>Inside Out looks to be doing slightly better in the afternoon than in the morning, so kids/families aren't its primary audience, and its evening sales look unimpressive right now, too, so it may be weak with teens.... The afternoon showtimes are where it's doing best, so I'm guessing young adults is its primary demographic at the moment. It'll be easier to read as the day goes on.

Hopefully Inside Out increases pace...

>Hero 2 delivered the biggest opening day for any live-action film in admissions at the usual locations, and secures its #1 debut with that tally. It's, as expected, coming in below its major hit predecessor, but if it's able to clear ¥700 million and 500,000 over the weekend (and ¥900 million after Monday), it should be capable of reaching the ¥5 billion blockbuster milestone with over/under 4 million admissions.

¥5.7 billion+ is required to unseat Cinderella as the year's current highest-grossing live-action film, so that'd be a nice extended goal for it target.

>Pokemon XY: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages managed to hold onto second place for the day in admissions, but its low avg. ticket prices likely puts The Boy and the Beast ahead of it in gross.

Overall, the eighteenth Pokemon film almost mirrored last year's film for the day, so if the same happens tomorrow, it'll be aiming for an opening weekend of near ¥400 million and 350,000-370,000 admissions.

>The Boy and the Beast held well in the face of so much new competition, but I was expecting a sub-30% drop. It could still see a sub-30% drop if it does well tomorrow, though, and it's probably going to come in second place for the weekend (third in admissions behind Pokemon) with over ¥400 million and 310,000-330,000 admissions based on Saturday's results.

>Inside Out comes in fourth place for the day, down around 40% compared to Big Hero 6's first day. It appears that Disney/Pixar releasing their original films up against Pokemon, a big domestic live-action film, and a Mamoru Hosoda film (the key competitor), is a bad idea (same situation as in July 2012 with Brave).

Inside Out isn't another Brave, far from that disastrous performance three years ago, but if it doesn't improve significantly tomorrow, it'll still be Pixar's second or third worst debut in Japan with ¥375-400 million ($3.0-3.2 million) / 280,000-310,000 admissions based on Saturday's results.

Updated Weekend (2-Day) Projections:

¥700-750 million ($5.6-6.0 million) / 500,000-525,000 - Hero 2 (NEW)

¥420-450 million ($3.4-3.7 million) / 310,000-330,000 - The Boy and the Beast (Week 2)

¥385-410 million ($3.1-3.3 million) / 350,000-370,000 - Pokemon XY: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages (NEW)

¥375-400 million ($3.0-3.2 million) / 280,000-300,000 - Inside Out (NEW)

¥300-325 million ($2.4-2.6 million) / 215,000-230,000 - Terminator: Genisys (Week 2)

¥225-250 million ($1.8-2.0 million) / 140,000-160,000 - Avengers: Age of Ultron (Week 3)

Hero 2 performing strongly, The Boy and the Beast holding firmly, Pokemon performing slightly better than last year's and Inside Out looking to disappoint.

Yikes Inside Out. Even with a good multiplier (around 10), it will still gross less than 50% compared to BH6.

Disney should've waited until the Fall to release IO.

[BenedictL11]

At least, IO isn't another Brave, but I'm still baffled why it had to release in the summer instead of the fall like other Disney movies?

They seem to release Pixar films either in March, July or December, not fall.

5,210 -> 8,546 - Terminator: Genisys (Week 2)

3,716 -> 5,261 - Avengers: Age of Ultron (Week 3)

Note: Typhoon Nangka will be affecting all of Japan through the weekend, so weekend admissions could be a bit deflated as a result.

Inside Out is increasing, albeit minimally, Pokemon and Hero 2 are decreasing, and if IO plays like yesterday, it should get above 60k admissions Sunday in 43% of the market. 300k plus is IO's goal right now, not terrible but not that good for a Pixar film either. It'll need one of the highest multipliers of all time to outgross BH6 in yen...

Unless Inside Out performs akin to Avatar, Frozen, Princess Mononoke, etc... the PIXAR original will not pass Big Hero 6's gross in yen. However, using the average multiplier of PIXAR films; an average of 9 to 12, Inside Out will gross around $27 to $36 and ¥3.3 to ¥4.5 billion. However, if it has enough gasoline in the tank and begins to perform better throughout it's run, ¥5 billion is possible, even if the chances are slim.

Of all the markets, who would have thought a Disney/Pixar original animated feature with immense critical acclaim and audience reception geared towards a family with heavy themes regarding family and childhood would perform sub-par in this market! Edited July 19, 2015 by CelestialFairyIX

Interested to see how much Minions makes there when it gets released. DM2 gained like 23 million. Are Minions a known property there? Can they match the 23 million?

I've heard numerous times that competition doesn't really matter for a film to do well in this market. Can we expect the same with Inside out or will it just flop? (comparatively speaking)
