A 112m$ average for the HP films! Thats more than 30m$ and more than 40% more than any movie made this year! Insane indeed...

$112M in average is really insane. Which was the highest/least grossing title? The first/seventh one I suspect. The new HP will definitly fall below that mark, doesn't it?

Not sure about the Dollar amounts, but in Yen it goes something like this:

 

HP1: 20.3 billion

HP2: 17.3

HP3: 13.5

HP4: 11.0

HP7.2: 9.67

HP5: 9.40

HP6: 8.00

HP7.1: 6.86

 

I guess these Dollar-numbers aren't quite exact, as the average is a bit lower than the one listed above, but BOM lists them as:

HP1 153 million

HP2: 142.79

HP7.2: 124.33

HP3: 121.6

HP4: 91.44

HP6: 83.78

HP7.1: 82.0

HP5: 80.56

The great thing? Even if Fantastic beasts makes 0$, the HP franchise would still retain a 100m$+ average. And it only needs to make 24m for it to retain the highest per movie average too.

SW is already above HP7-2 and that made $124M? That is awfull... It's about $40M less. ER was extremely high in 2011, it seems, like it was everywhere.

Funny how every HP movie was below the previous one except the last film. But especially this first two movies, enormous!

I was too occupied to post a Weekend Forecast yesterday, but I'll post Saturday's admissions from the Usual Locations later today.

Based on Saturday alone, this weekend is looking very impressive. Nobunaga Concerto is in store for an incredible second weekend atop the box-office (aiming for ¥500 million!); and distributor Toei looks to finally have a live-action film score a good debut with Saraba Abunai Deka: Long Goodbye targeting ¥250 million+. Most of the holdovers are also holding very, very well, too.

So far, January 2016 is more than delivering the goods at the box-office.

500 million yen coming off a 600+ million yen debut?!  That's insane!

>Nobunaga Concerto is experiencing an excellent second weekend after delivering the second biggest debut in the month of January last weekend. If Sunday is also strong, it has a good chance of earning over ¥500 million in its second frame and is well on its way to exceed the ¥3 billion milestone, if not ¥3.5 billion or even ¥4 billion at this pace. Talk about an early breakout for 2016!

>Saraba Abunai Deka: Long Goodbye is performing quite well, and looks to earn Toei one of its biggest debuts for a live-action film in quite some time. If we exclude the Kamen Rider films, then Saraba Abunai Deka should give Toei their biggest live-action debut in several years as it's on track for ¥250 million+.

>Black Mass isn't fairing too well, and appears to be coming in on the lower-end of expectations. Without Johnny Depp, however, this film probably wouldn't be coming anywhere near the Top 5. It's aiming for an opening right around the ¥100 million mark, which will likely be decided by its avg. ticket price.

>The Inerasable is doing alright, falling in-line with what everyone pretty much was expecting for the weekend.

Most of the holdovers are holding very, very well this weekend, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens is even eyeing a possible increase, or at least a minuscule decline in its seventh weekend. It will exceed the ¥10 billion uber-blockbuster mark on Sunday, its 45th day in release. I'll post a list on how that compares to other uber-blockbusters sometime tomorrow.

This drop in gross is so tragic though. Even the last one only had a partial rebound which was still pretty pathetic compared to the first film of the series.

I wouldn't say the drop is tragic though. That's an exaggeration. It just looks like that because of how big the first 2 movies were, especially the first one. Before 2001, only one movie made more than 20b yen. You didn't expect the series to stay at that level for years, did you? I mean, 4 of them made more than 10b yen, with 1 of them getting close to it. No other franchise has done it. After 11 years and 8 movies, HP7.2 still managed to make that much, which was more than most movies. So no, I don't think it's pathetic. Just normal.

 

Anyway, what's with the practically non-existent drops this past weekend? Holidays? Or was there a snowstrom or something like that the weekend before just like in the US?

A record cold spell hit most of East Asia over a week ago. Even Hong Kong and Taiwan got snow the weekend before this past weekend, which is almost unheard of.

Ah yes. I actually saw it on the news here. I just wasn't sure it was last weekend.

SW7 153k(-4%) ,252M yen; total 6.474M admissions 10.13B

 

11B for SW7 will likely happen.

 

Although the theatre/screen count might decrease over the next several weeks, based on current trajectory why wouldn't 12B be in play? Alice made 20 million more (equiv of 1.8BYEN). Corpse made references that it could get much closer to TPM 12.7B when it's all said and done.

Yeah, 1.1B is locked, 1.2B or higher may happen if it keeps holding well.

It increased 30% on Monday, so we can see hold this week too.

>Nobunaga Concerto remains atop the box-office in its second weekend, and has done so in incredible fashion. The historical time-twist tale remained nearly flat with its opening weekend (the second highest ever in the month of January), selling 461,321 admissions, and delivered the third biggest overall weekend in January in its second frame. Quite stunning, and that's without any holiday support.

And with weekdays that almost matched its weekend earnings as well, its two-week total is more than high enough to lock up ¥3 billion ($25 million+), and the chances of actually exceeding ¥4 billion (~$35 million) has gone way up. It's quite rare for a January release to earn this much, but here we are.

>Saraba Abunai Deka: Long Goodbye got off to a good, surprisingly so, start by nearly opening to ¥300 million. The Hiroshi Tachi and the Kyohei Shibata lead adaptation of the hit 1980s detective drama sold an impressive 217,273 tickets on 252 screens, giving Toei their best non-Kamen Rider debut for a live-action film since 2011.

Saraba Abunai Deka should be good for a gross of ¥2 billion ($16-18 million), which while not as impressive as Nobunaga Concerto's performance, is still quite good for this time of year.

>Star Wars: The Force Awakens falls to third place, but having barely dropped in its second weekend, is still grossing very impressive numbers.

And most importantly, it has exceeded the uber-blockbuster milestone of ¥10 billion after its 45th day in release, making it only the second live-action film since 2010 to achieve this milestone. Also, since its still bringing in very favorable numbers, it's probably safe to project it'll exceed ¥11 billion ($90-95 million) now as well. Major achievement for Disney, and it's unlikely any film this year surpass it.

>Black Mass debuts in fourth place, selling 86,195 admissions across 265 screens over the weekend. The opening is on par with that of Transcendence, but 22% behind that of last year's Mordecai.

Johnny Depp is the only reason these films are opening above ¥100 million, but this debut is still a bit disappointing considering Warner Bros. is much larger distribution company than Pony Canyon or Kadokawa.

>The Inerasable settled for fifth place but having also opening above ¥100 million, its debut is also decent, especially for a horror film. Based on Fuyumi Ono's mystery novel, the film adaptation sold 82,182 tickets on 221 screens. Not bad.

As mentioned in the weekend actuals write-up, Star Wars: The Force Awakens exceeded the ¥10 billion uber-blockbuster milestone on Sunday, its 45th day in release.

It's the first live-action film since 2010's Alice in Wonderland to achieve this milestone. Also, this makes it the eleventh fastest reported film to reach the milestone (sixth for a live-action film), and even more impressively, it's done so two days sooner than The Phantom Menace. It's unlikely to have the late-legs that Episode I had to outgross it, but it still has quite a bit left in the starship engine.

 

Fastest to ¥10 billion (60 Days or Less)
