It's so interesting that Japan is a leggy market for movies when for videogames it's the opposite & by far extremely front loaded for most big games. Just an interesting thing I see as I watch videogame sales closely too. 

Huh? you must be that darthdevidem spamming-individual they stealth-permabanned on vgchartz.

And that concludes Winter Break/New Year this year. All businesses are operating as usual, and schools will be back in session this morning (Friday).

Note: Living With My Mother was very weak on New Years Eve last week (it's targeting the 50+ crowd), so it actually managed to increase Thursday-to-Thursday.

>Star Wars VII is holding as expected, and a possible sub-40% weekend drop following last weekend's increase is solid. It doesn't appear it'll drop-off drastically after the holidays.

>Yo-Kai Watch 2 is also holding fine post the holidays. If it can manage to drop closer to 30% (or sub-30%) this weekend, it'll continue its streak of improving upon last year's weekend holds.

>Kizumonogatari Part 1 remains difficult to read, but the fact that its Saturday is well-below its Friday is evidence it's pretty frontloaded. It'll still, quite comfortably, exceed the ¥100 million mark this weekend, so that's impressive enough.

>Bridge of Spies is off to a slow start, but assuming it increases today (Sunday) or stays flat due to skewing older, it still has a good chance of exceeding the ¥100 million mark this weekend.

>Pink and Gray is a limited release (77% of locations accounted for above), so it won't make the Top 5, though it's still looking at a decent debut.

>Life's Promise is underwhelming and looks to miss a ¥100 million debut this weekend. Not too surprising, but still disappointing.

Did TFA underperforming in Japan? Im not that knowledgeable about in depth WW/Japanese box office but I saw the prequels made $110m $70m and $80m each and I thought that  TFA would easily cross $100m and be one of Its strongest regions. How much more do y'all think it will make. Weekend legs dropped 55% so not much longer?

No, it didn't underperform.

It will become the 2nd best-selling SW movie only behind TPM.

in addition:

look up exchange rates, and changed viewing behavior, it's the first big life action movie there since a time. Plus it has often a rather long-legged pattern, don't expect similarities to your region....

 

STAR WARS Int'l: UK ($161M) GER ($94M) FRA ($76M) JPN ($65M) OZ ($57M) CHI ($52M) ESP ($31M) ITA ($27M) MEX ($26M) RUS ($25M) BRZ ($24M)

¥12.70 billion - Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

¥11.00 billion - Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2016) 
¥9.35 billion - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
¥9.17 billion - Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
¥5.30 billion - Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
¥4.95 billion - Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

No data for A New Hope. If you adjust for "inflation", increase the totals for Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back by ~15% for ¥6.09 billion and ¥5.69 billion, respectively. Movie ticket prices haven't gone up much since the early 1980's.

 

TFA dropped around 30% post New year weekend, it will end up around 11B yen($90M+) to become 2nd best-selling SW movie.

Thanks to a very strong Sunday, the post-New Year drops this year are notably good.

>Star Wars: The Force Awakens easily retains its position atop the box office, and delivered quite the impressive fourth weekend based on estimates. A sub-30% drop would be very strong after its increase last weekend over the holiday frame.

After four weeks, it's either extremely close to 5 million admissions or just exceeded the mark. The Force Awakens should go on to exceed 7 million admissions, if not make a play at 8 million admissions. So, it's looking at a final gross around the ¥11 billion ($90-100 million) mark.

>Yo-Kai Watch 2 achieved its third-consecutive improvement upon its predecessor's weekend holds, so it's bound to continue this trend for most, if not all, of its remaining time in theaters giving it better legs than the first film.

After four weeks, Yo-Kai Watch 2 likely exceeded 4 million admissions (~4.1 million) and should be on course to eventually reach 5 million admissions for a gross around ¥5.5 billion ($45-50 million).

>Kizumonogatari - Part 1: Blood and Iron is barely a wide release, playing on 108 screens, so a debut possibly above ¥150 million is quite impressive. And since Friday, it likely exceeded ¥200 million as well.

>Bridge of Spies is off to a modest start, but I imagine legs should be good or even strong if it does well this awards season in the U.S. However, I'm not following the award season, but it doesn't look that strong to me. All of the Oscar contenders are released between January-April in Japan to take advantage of any potential nominations/wins at the Academy Awards.

>Life's Promise and Pink and Gray missed the ¥100 million mark, which is disappointing for the former, but no so much for the latter. Pink and Gray had the better debut of the two seeing as it's a limited release playing on 96 screens; so in that regard, its debut is pretty solid.

>Orange looks to have exceeded the ¥2.5 billion mark after five weeks, or should be super close to the milestone. Either way, come the next couple days, it'll have outgrossed every other shojo/josei manga live-action adaptation since 2009's Nodame Cantabile. It's been one of the most impressive performers of the past several months.

>Spectre is very close (~¥25 million) to overtaking Skyfall to become the highest-grossing 007 film. If it doesn't get there with actuals, it'll certainly do so on Monday.

Monday is a national holiday, Coming of Age Day, so weekend actuals will be delayed until Tuesday.

So SW7 is still ahead of Frozen in a day of release comparison: after 24 days the animated was around 7,5 Byen (or 7,7Byen if we considere 25 days putting the day one of SW7 on friday instead of saturday). The two movies could remain head to head until week 7. During week 8 and 9 Anna&Elsa did their best collecting more than 5Byen combined (8th weekend over 1B): i don't think SW7 will be able to do this.

Notably this week, China has bumped Australia out of the Top 5 offshore markets for TFA. The Middle Kingdom, with $65.7M, currently sits at No. 5. The UK is still tops with $162.5M, followed by Germany ($95.5M), France ($77.1M) and Japan ($69.4M). (Local PROC reporting by Ent Group has TFA at about $71.5M with Wednesday grosses included, which would lift it past Japan, but those are unconfirmed numbers.)...

Corpse:

 

Alright, so the weekend actuals for the full Top 10 has almost certainly been delayed for the week. So, I'll just proceed with the older weekend results format that I used to post every week instead.

All of the updated totals have been released, so the only numbers missing will be the weekend grosses of a couple holdovers in the Top 10.

Weekend Results (01/09-10)

01 (01) Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Disney) Week 4
02 (02) Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan! (Toho) Week 4
03 (--) Kizumonogatari - Part 1: Blood and Iron (Toho Video Division) NEW
04 (--) Bridge of Spies (Fox) NEW

05 (03) Orange (Toho) Week 5
06 (--) Pink and Gray (Asmik Ace) NEW
07 (--) Life's Promise (Toho) NEW

08 (04) Living With My Mother (Shochiku) Week 5
09 (05) 007: Spectre (Sony) Week 6
10 (06) Chibi Maruko-chan: The Movie (Toho) Week 3

>Star Wars: The Force Awakens retains its position atop the box office, and did so by posting an impressive 25% drop coming off an increase over last weekend's holiday frame.

The seventh entry in the Star Wars series grossed ¥619,644,800 ($5.28 million) with 391,207 admissions, which after including Monday's earnings (holiday), brings its four week total up to an incredible ¥8,241,016,200 ($68.69 million) with 5,337,920 admissions.

Its running total is the fifth highest of all-time after four weeks in release, and the impressive post-New Year hold is an indication that post-holiday legs should be solid. It'll exceed the ¥10 billion ($85-90 million) uber-blockbuster milestone by the end of the month with ~6.5 million admissions (possibly in two weeks time), making it the first live-action film since 2010's Alice in Wonderland to achieve this milestone.

Also, at its current pace and projecting solid-to-good legs from this point forward, it'll probably exceed the ¥11 billion ($90-95 million) mark as well (~7.1 million admissions), and I wouldn't rule out ¥12 billion ($100-105 million) with ~7.8 million admissions yet either. In terms of revenue and admissions, it'll easily beat Episode II and Episode III and come quite close to matching Episode I in both categories as well.

>Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan! stays strong in second place, dropping an impressive 21% in its fourth weekend, and yet again improving upon last year's film's weekly holds.

The second Yo-Kai Watch film grossed ¥297,244,600 ($2.53 million) with 258,016 admissions over its fourth weekend frame, and after including Monday's take (holiday), brings its running four week total up to an impressive ¥4,812,386,500 ($40.17 million) with 4,398,002 admissions.

Since it has improved upon its predecessor's weekly holds every week, that's unlikely to change, so its post-holiday legs should be pretty decent. It will exceed the ¥5 billion blockbuster milestone over the upcoming weekend with ~4.6 million admissions, and should go on to exceed ¥5.5 billion admissions with 5 million+ admissions by the end of its run.

>Kizumonogatari - Part 1: Blood and Iron debuted quite impressively in third place, despite playing on just 108 screens. The first film in the planned series grossed ¥177,058,000 ($1.51 million) with 131,973 admissions over the weekend.

>Bridge of Spies settles for a fourth place debut, which is slightly disappointing rank wise, but considering the two blockbusters from December still holding strong, it's better than it looks.

Spielberg's latest earned ¥141,867,600 ($1.21 million) with 112,937 admissions across 348 screens over the weekend. And after including its Friday and Monday earnings (first day and holiday), its four day total reached ¥251,898,600 ($2.14 million) with 203,974 admissions. Unless legs prove to be unexpectedly poor (unlikely), it'll be a safe ¥1 billion earner.

>Orange continues its excellent performance into its fifth weekend by remaining in the Top 5.

After five weeks in release, and including Monday's earnings (holiday), its total is up to a nice ¥2,649,859,500 ($22.03 million) with 2,257,418 admissions. It has outgrossed every shojo/josei manga adaptation since 2009, and has a good shot actually reaching the ¥3 billion mark (~2.5 million admissions).

>Pink and Gray only came in sixth place, but its debut in rather impressive for a limited release; especially since it managed to edge out the film below in gross (a bit less in admissions). The Yukisada Isao directed film earned ¥102,127,000 ($870,000) with 77,769 admissions on 96 screens. Not bad, not bad.

>Life's Promise settles for a very poor seveenth place debut, but on the bright side, it managed to barely break the ¥100 million mark over the weekend. Playing on 291 screens, it earned ¥100,525,200 ($856,000) with 81,868 admissions over its debut weekend. It won't become a ¥1 billion earner, so its ultimately going to be a disappointment.

>And finally, but certainly not least considering the major accomplishment, Spectre has grossed ¥2,776,435,900 ($23.19 million) with 2,112,130 admissions after six weeks in release. It has officially outgrossed Skyfall's ¥2.75 billion total to become the highest grossing 007 film of all-time in the market.
