Could we have a showdown between Spirited Away, Frozen and Your Name? I know they don't have similar release dates but it could still be interesting.

I also wonder about that. It's projected to have an utterly insane 3rd weekend now. If any movie has a chance to break the all-time record, it's Your Name.

I plan on posting one following this weekend.  

 

As you mentioned, the three films couldn't have had different release dates, so week-to-week comparisons won't be very accurate, but it'll still be fun to track the pace of their weekly performances.

Your Name,.. just wow! Can it get the record for fastest to ¥10 billion? It doesn't have summer weekdays like Spirited Away but it's HUGE  weekends really compensate for that.

I wonder if this will cause other movies to aim for a late August release in Japan.

I don't think it's a good release date for blockbusters though. Your Name is an anomaly.

DP... again, I hate when it does this.

Nah, fastest to 10 billion will stay with Spirited Away (as should fastest to everything above 10 billion).  Its early August weekdays, followed by Obon Week, were just way too strong.

How many days did it take for SA to reach ¥10B?

Is this holiday a Monday through Friday? If so this definitely will be the week Shin Godzilla crosses 70m plus some.

 

Anyway, Your Name. is really fun to watch. It's barely decreased.
