For those wondering why Titanic (the juggernaut of legs) isn't on the list, here is Corpse's explanation.

 

 

Same issue in India. I don't think there's any good complete log of Titanic's incredible run and possibly unlike Japan, boxoffice wasn't even tracked and shared with people back then in India  - would love to hear @Charlie Jatinder views on how Titanic performed nearly 20 years back there.

It opened on just 7 screens when Hollywood biggies went for 100-150 screens. So obviously had long run. Sort of like HAHK which had very limited release. Weekend would be ₹25 lakh gross max and full run was ₹48cr. That's 190x multiple.

 

It is still most watched Hollywood film in India, hopefully Endgame will beat it this year.

I thought bringing back Lelouch will excite many fans. How is it compared to Dragon Ball movie or  Detective Conan one. I believe Conan did 80 Million or something last year.

>Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicle of Moon Exploration, the thirty-ninth entry in the long-running franchise, easily claimed the #1 spot over the weekend box-office, and delivered the biggest opening weekend so far in 2019. This, of course, comes to no one's surprise since the series always kicks off the Spring box-office season in a big way every year.  

This year's release did see a decrease from last year's film, but it still achieved the third biggest opening weekend in the franchise, selling 586,000 admissions over the weekend frame across 382 screens, and reaching 645,685 admissions since opening on Friday. Expect a total around the ¥4.5 billion ($40 million) mark. However, there isn't too much for families/children this Spring (no Disney or Illumination this year), so it's possible legs could end up slightly higher than the franchise norm, and this year's film could become only the third entry in the franchise to reach the ¥5 billion milestone.

>Tonde Saitama saw a second weekend increase, but I wasn't paying close enough attention to it to see why. My guess is it had some stage greetings with the cast at some point over the weekend, but regardless, a second weekend increase is always great. It's about guaranteed to exceed ¥1.5 billion ($15 million) now, and could approach the ¥2 billion ($20 million) milestone.  

>Green Book performed very well in its opening weekend, selling 154,000 admissions over the weekend frame on 180 screens, and it reached 234,428 admissions since opening on Friday. This is the highest debut for the Academy Award for Best Picture winner since 2010's The King's Speech, and is 95% higher than last year's The Shape of Water. I imagine legs will be good/great, and see a total around ¥1.5 billion ($15 million).

>Alita: Battle Angel fell hard over its sophomore frame, and as a result, will likely only finish slightly above the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone. It enjoyed a so-so opening weekend, but will end up with a disappointing, perhaps bomb-worthy, total.  

>Bohemian Rhapsody... following its many Oscar wins (and Best Foreign-Language win at the Japan Academy Prize) experienced a significant boost over the past week, and stayed nearly flat versus last weekend. It is now the 19th highest grossing film ever, surpassing The Wind Rises. There's really nothing left to be said about it, so let's just wait and see where it eventually winds up.

>Aquaman falls pretty hard once again, but its slightly stronger than usual weekdays (for a Marvel/DC film) is keeping its cumulative total decent. Expect it to finish around ¥1.7 billion ($15/16 million).

Is Doraemon 1/year? Going since 1980? Or average more like twice a year?

Puzzling drop for Alita, it seemed WOM was good online, the heck. I guess it can't crack that live action anime stigma.

>Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicle of Moon Exploration will effortless remain atop the weekend box office, and will post a very strong second weekend in the process. Unless Dumbo can deliver at the end of March, look for the thirty-ninth entry in the Doraemon franchise to stay at #1 until April.

>Tonde Saitama experienced a second weekend increase last week, and this week it's looking to enjoy an incredible hold for a third weekend on par with its opening weekend. This film really came out if nowhere, and could wind up with one of the best runs of 2019 by the year's end if it keeps this up.

>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse looks to come in lower than perhaps originally thought weeks ago, but maybe expectations were in the wrong place. While it does have the Spider-Man brand name in its title, it's still a non-Disney/Pixar imported animated release and they often struggle in the market. The below average theater count also doesn't help, but that just means it's not playing in many rural areas, where it likely wouldn't play very well anyway. 

>The Mule will see a decent debut, one that is surely overwhelmingly thanks to Clint Eastwood starring (and directing) in the film. Eastwood has a very dedicated audience in the market, and his films generally perform pretty well. 

>And yes, that is Bohemian Rhapsody you all see in its eighteenth weekend in the top 10, and not even at the bottom of the top 10 yet. It may achieve 20-consecutive weeks in the top 10, which would make it only the seventh film on record to accomplish that feat.

A little disappointed with Spider-Verse's opening. It probably won't go higher than $15 million with that OW.

 

Tonde Saitama could be the next mini-phenomenon in Japan?

Indeed TS appears to be having a nice little run. Nothing phenomenon yet per se, but a breakout nonetheless. 

 

Shame about SV, although still chance it'll have longer legs than usual supers with being animated. Although concerns as Corpse says Sony put it on a really low number of screens... Will have to see if walkups are stronger than expected and if Spidey can develop some Bouncy legs

[salvador-232]

SV didn't do very well on Saturday so I guess it won't recover over the weekend. Disappointing but not totally unexpected I guess. 

 

Also, Alita almost fell out of the top ten on Saturday, Alita not even reaching a billie in yen would be the cherry on the top for me
