JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW

[catlover]

From eiga.com:

 

WWY - ¥1.012B ($9.3M) / ¥3.9B ($35.9M)

TS4 - ¥628M ($5.8M) / ¥5.51B ($50.7M) - the fastest Disney and Pixar movie to cross ¥5B

SLOP2 - ¥223M ($2.05M) - 47.7% of SLOP's OW

Aladdin - ¥10.9B ($100.3M)

 

I used google for the exchange rates. So, grain of salt.

 

That means 14.6% drop for WWY and 26.5% drop for TS4.

With that 2nd weekend drop from WwY and ongoing summer and upcoming Obon , WwY is very likely to unseat Aladdin before challenged by Frozen2

How did Spirited Away make so much money? I guess it kept making money after its 12th weekend.

I don't think we have the weekend totals for Princess Mononoke or Titanic, though.

Yep, Spirited Away had 32 weekends in the Top 10. 26 consecutively. 

 

Princess Mononoke only opened to ¥715 million, so it probably didn't make that list of highest 3rd weekends. It stayed in theaters for ages like Spirited Away, probably close to a year, so it had an extremely long and leggy run. 

 

Unfortunately, Titanic's weekend numbers (OW or otherwise) were seemingly never published in Japan. Corpse has tried searching everywhere to no avail. The only thing that is known is that it spent a consecutive 40 weekends in the Top 10 and 22 consecutive weekends at #1. Certainly the highest multiplier ever in Japan (Corpse estimates it could be as high as 60x).

Spirited Away was a summer movie and released in July 2001. I remember when I lived in Japan, I went to the theater to see it in the middle of winter in January 2002 on New Year Holiday. It stayed in the theater forever.

[Jiffy]

I believe Variety archives used to have some Japanese weekend figures for Titanic, but if I recall correctly they were only from a limited number of theaters. I wish I had saved them, though.

Variety used to have weekly archives for the major foreign markets going back to the early 90s at least. 

I don't believe they are accessible anymore, but I wonder if there might be a way to get at them using archive.org.

July 27, 1998 - $175.1m (Cume)

August 18, 1998 - $181.9m (Cume)

September 1, 1998 - $185.3m (Cume)
September 11, 1998 - $186.9m (Cume)

October 6, 1998 - $191m (Cume)

 

I actually posted that here, like three years ago

My commentary at the end there isn't quite right however. Titanic opened on December 20, 1997 in Japan so the $4.0m is actually for the first four days rather than the first weekend (which is just Dec 20-21). It's first weekend was probably around $3m so its overall multi should be like x70 or so.

By the way, for this data, I need to credit not just tyrannyreborn from the BOM forums (whoever that is) but also Inny Binny from the WOKJ forums since that is the one from whom  I actually saw it after BOM was nuked

It seems you @Jiffy even posted on that same page (assuming that Jiffy is the same user as you) and are the one who prompted him to post those numbers there so you can retroactively thank yourself too lol.

Uh, I mean, I guess that's kind of a question for the New Zealand and Australia box office threads. Your Name didn't make that much money in either country, so I don't know about Weathering With You.
