Does this have any chance of matching DH2's 21.9m OW?

Here are the pre-sales from 42% of each film's theater count.

Advance Ticket Sales/Available Tickets [Theaters/Showings], Film
138,795/463,289 [155/1,795], Star Wars: The Force Awakens
116,563/320,351 [150/1,073], Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan!

Each film almost tripled the previous highs from earlier this year.

And what monstrous pre-sales for both films, and they're close enough that the weekend isn't guaranteed to go to Star Wars just yet, in terms of admissions that is. In revenue, Star Wars will win the weekend pretty easily.

I'll be posting real-time ticket sales from 66% of the market for the day soon, with the first update (ticket sales from 7AM to 10AM) coming up soon.

 

Usual Locations (66% of Market) - Real-Time Saturday Ticket Sales

10AM > 11AM > 12PM > 1PM > 2PM > 3PM > 4PM > 5PM > 7PM > 10PM > FINAL

74,565 - Yo-Kai Watch 2
52,996 - Star Wars VII

Well, these numbers destroy anything I've ever tracked so thoroughly. They're overwhelming.

Expected early lead for Yo-Kai Watch 2, and it's only down about 14% from last year's record breaking first film so far. The majority of its ticket sales will come from the AM and early afternoon showings.

Star Wars VII will be playing catch up until the evening showings begin, so this race will be going undecided for most of the day, if not into Sunday if they end up reasonably close for Saturday.

It seems that SW7 don't wins saturday over the local animated, at least if it will haven't 100% of saturation in night shows (it had only 44% as at 7.00 PM in 65% of market). Obviously not counting friday night preshows. Other: if it lose Sat, more easily will lose  Sun, in which animated are in advantage, so it will not stay at #1 in japanese OW! 

[Cynosure]

Looking like it will be #1 in revenue but not in admissions.

It's not like Yo-kai Watch is a small deal. It's the one that defeated Pikachu and nearly broke the opening weekend record last year.

Oh, I like this duel

So YW2 wins in admissions and SWE7 in gross.

[keysersoze123]

Kewl. SW7 might catch up to YW2 today.

[Eleven]

Seats in these locations are 670k for SW7 and 524k for the animated. That means that SW is going under 50% saturation. However last year the first Yokai movie collapsed in few weeks after record opening while SW should have a way better legs. Btw this weekend is already a milestone, the most interesting to follow since 2014's golden week (in which Frozen collected near 2M admission in four days in its 8th week of release).
