Japan typically use only Sat/Sun for OW?

Yeah, weekend only has two days.

Currently, AEG OD about 270% of AIW at the same point!

Japan has been known to be pretty kind to movies they really like. And everybody really likes Endgame.   

 

Spoiler

Because it is THE movie of the 21st century

Nobody tell Pepsa.     

 

I can’t properly compare since I wasn’t theater aged for RotK, but at minimum this is RotK for my generation.

16-18mn OW incoming. Only "50%" over my expectations.

You and @Thanos Legion still haven't learned I see.

[XXR vs XXR]

The record is just under $19m USD, which would need 2.12b yen. Possible?

Hey get of your high horse, nothing will ever come clos to RoTK other than FOTR because the one is the only movie ever to toppel it  

All this hate speach  😛

Here are the top 10 opening weekends (Sat+Sun) from 2008 onwards. This was when Japan stopped including previews in the opening weekend. According to Corpse, these sometimes included an entire week of previews which would greatly inflate the opening weekend numbers. 

It will be interesting to see where Endgame places.

Me too probably Wednesday or Thursday all theatres in my city are sold out. So and there is only IMAX theatre 😞

With the 5pm update, Endgame has passed Infinity War's Friday. 

[Olive]

sorry to have bumped your expectations up.

AEG seems way more frontloaded or PS heavier than AIW, not many GA comparing  to others or even IW.

OD still looking 500-550M yen , still a great increase.

This is just the first day, no WOM yet. Japan can be a leggy market and I can’t wait to see how things develop.   

 

(And if it just does $40M, that’s fine too)

[Stewart]

As of 7pm update, EG opening day is 2.45x IW opening day. 

 

Edit: to clarify, at the same point in time. I.e. comparing 7pm to 7pm

I seriously think it's ROTK of Avengers trilogy, ignorning AOU.

 

That said, TT and IW are my fav and ROTK and EG I enjoyed just because the first two made me fan.
