Wow. Hopefully Zootopia can do more than exist despite the bigger screens likely being kept by Conan next weekend.

Well, Japan is a very leggy market. Even if the opening weekend is average, there's no telling what the final total will be.

Detective Conan 20 OW: 934k adm.; 1.29B yen

Massive!

 

Holy shit! That's crazy! 6.5b+ total? Unbelievable. Bad news for Zootopia then. No.1 debut is unlikely now. I hope it breaks out there in terms of legs. I want that $1B WW.

Hey, maybe they'll both be big.

 

And in Japan, films don't need to have the biggest opening weekends to be big overall.

Most theaters only give 2nd or 3rd biggest screens to Zootopia this weekend, 500-600M OW is good guess.

Hope the legs is at least as good as BH6, early reviews are glowing.

Is there any doubt?

Of course, BH6 had the best legs of all wide-opening movies in Japan in 2015.

Yeah, with great legs Zootopia could outgross Detective Conan in the end, even if it only opens half as big. Conan is consistently frontloaded anyway.

I don't think Zootopia will do that well in Japan, the bunny's eyes aren't big enough for the people there.

It has glowing reviews though. I'm not even sure if you're serious but the WOM will carry it, not the size of the bunny's eyes.

>Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare, the 20th film and 20th anniversary release in the popular Detective Conan series, set the box office on fire this weekend; delivering one of the most impressive opening weekends in quite some time, and what could be the biggest opening weekend of 2016 (calendar year) not just so far, but overall. It sold an astounding 933,781 admissions over the weekend across 348 screens. Here's a list of its accomplishments this weekend:

>Fourth Biggest Opening for an Animated Film (Gross and Admissions).
>Biggest Opening Weekend for the Month of April (Admissions).
>Second Biggest Opening for the Month of April (Gross).
>33rd Film to Debut Above ¥1 billion.
>31st Film to Debut Above 800,000 Admissions; 25th to Debut Above 900,000.
>New Franchise Opening Weekend Record; Claiming it by 38%.

It achieved all of the above without playing in 3% of its actual theater count due to Saturday's earthquake, which shut down most of southern Japan over the weekend.

The Detective Conan franchise has had over a dozen hit films in the past, and while each film over the past few years have set consecutive franchise records, none have been able to reach blockbuster status. Until now. It's quite clear that this year's release will definitely reach the ¥5 billion ($45 million) blockbuster milestone, and might even exceed ¥6 billion ($55 million+).

>Crayon Shin-chan: Fast Asleep! Great Assault on the Dreaming World comes in at a distant second place, but it's far from a disappointing opening since it, too, set a new franchise record! The 24th film in the Crayon Shin-chan franchise sold an impressive 337,108 over the weekend on 334 screens; achieving a new franchise record by beating last year's film by 2%.

This long running annual franchise goes mostly overlooked compared to the other annual franchises like Pokemon, Doraemon, and its opening weekend comrade Detective Conan, but it has begun to breakaway from its typical openings/totals and is becoming a box office success itself in recent years. This year's release is likely to gross over ¥2 billion (~$20 million) again, and could break its own record by beating last year's film's ¥2.28 billion.

>Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan held on surprisingly well this weekend, since Doraemon films tend to collapse when Detective Conan/Crayon Shin-chan open this time of year. It was already more than likely to become the highest-grossing film in the Doraemon franchise, but this weekend has assured that it's going to happen very soon. It's also going to become the first film in the franchise to gross over ¥4 billion. Incredible.

>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has stabilized a bit, and in comparison to most other superhero films, has actually started to display some decent legs. It out-grossed The Dark Knight over the weekend, and is still on a good path to probably out-gross The Dark Knight Rises to become DC's highest-grossing, modern, superhero film.

>Spotlight is finally playing in Japan and what would have been a likely no show in the Top 10 had it not won Best Picture, turned into a decent opening weekend. It's a limited release, playing on 88 screens and was picked up by a small independent distributor, but it managed to sell 50,932 admissions over the weekend. Not bad, although it'll be one of the lowest-grossing Best Picture winners in well over a decade.

Most theaters only give 2nd or 3rd biggest screens to Zootopia this weekend, 500-600M OW is good guess.

Hope the legs is at least as good as BH6, early reviews are glowing.

I'm hoping for an opening weekend higher than Big Hero 6 with almost as good legs. Big Hero 6 did amazing in China and in Japan. Same with Frozen. Hopefully Zootopia will do amazing in Japan too. $50 is great but $70 million would be amazing! :) I don't want this to stop just before $1 billion like The Lion King. That was cringe :lol:

I have heard that size of head and eyes are important for toons in japan. 

Will need BH6 legs to get to 1B WW. 

Will the eyes beget legs?

60-65% of the market - Saturday 04/23 :

 

Zootopia : 1,425 showings, 346,638 seats, 346 screens, 213 theaters

Conan : 1,299 showings, 464,132 seats, 347 screens, 208 theaters

 

Zootopia got more showings but got the smaller screens, so less seats.
