It deserves each yen, dollar, euro or whatever grossed.

>Your Name. will obviously stay atop the box office for another weekend, and should at least score the 2nd biggest fifth weekend of all-time (behind Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's fifth weekend [New Year bump]).  It will also exceed the ¥11 billion milestone and 8.5 million admissions on Sunday, making it only the second film to ever reach both marks after five weeks in release (Spirited Away being the first).

 

>Sully debuts this weekend, and based on pre-sales and morning/afternoon ticket sales, it's going to have a successful start of possibly ¥300 million or a little more.  Eastwood is a very popular director in Japan (all his films are successful), and Hanks is also a respected actor and one of few Hollywood draws left.  It's easy to predict a low avg. ticket price as it'll surely skew quite old, so that could prevent it from breaking ¥300 million; either way, it's looking good, and an opening on this level would guarantee at least ¥1.5 billion ($15 million), with a solid shot at ¥2 billion ($20 million).

 

>The others openers, Sanada Ten Braves and Ushijima the Loan Shark 3 will have a minimal impact on the Top 10 as they're unlikely to make the Top 5.

[Cookson]

Hoping Shin Godzilla can hold even better than your prediction! It's pretty amazing it's still in the top 10 going into almost 2 months of release. I thought it was already at 70m going into the weekend, but oh well.

 

I would say it would have a shot at 80m if they weren't cutting into its theater amount. 75m is the goal now though if there's even a goal for it.

Last Sunday was boosted by a holiday

[Cookson]

Yeah everything is way down from last Sunday because of the holiday.

So, Your Name. O/U Frozen?

I think under (for now). 21 to 23 billion yen is where I currently see it land.

[Mojoguy]

Your Name will make $5m in North America.

Anime movies don't do well in N America, even Spirited Away only did $10m here.

$5m is the maximum for Your Name in North America.

[Kathemy]

Is the drop for Suicide Squad larger or smaller than for Batman v Superman over the same time period?

[cannastop]

Estimates for this weekend:

 

http://mimorin2014.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-13628.html

 

Your Name: ¥860,000,000

Both will be under Corpse's forecast.

Is it at least confirmed there?

 

Sadly these movies do well only in Japan, the first Pokémon movies were the exception to the rule.

At that time Pokemon was the #1 worldwide entertainment brand. I remember "Mewtwo strikes Back" (or "Mew VS Mewtwo" or something of similar local title), I was forced to see it by my son, the movie was so bad that not even him liked it.

This sort of Pokemon slander WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

[edroger3]

I always loved pokemon, mostly because I got a tons of money selling the action cards in my shop.
