WOW! The last Pirates film made over $100 million on it's own. $800 WW may not be out of the question after all. Of course I don't know how close this film got to $700 million WW without contributions from Japan. I think many felt to even get close to that final tally, it needed to come fairly close to $700 million from the rest of the markets before Japan started adding to the tally. I guess we'll see later today. 

 

Yeah even without Japan 705-710 should happen (170 + 535-540 OS-J).

If that holds then 90-95 from Japan will give it 800 ww.

>Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales kicks off the Summer Box Office Season with a bang, likely delivering a debut above the ¥1 billion mark with an estimated 775,000 admissions. If actuals remain above ¥1 billion, it'll become the 37th film to debut above the milestone.

The fifth Pirates film, based on estimates, matched the debut of its predecessor On Stranger Tides in terms of admissions (maybe slightly more), though with it opening on the 1st (a discount day) it probably will come in a bit lower in revenue. This will celebrate the fourth-consecutive film in the franchise to debut above the ¥1 billion mark if it stays above the mark, which is only beaten by the Harry Potter franchise (six films).

Disney is surely happy with the films' success so far, as the opening should be good for a total around ¥7.5/8.0 billion (~$70 million), which could be enough to propel the film above the $800 million mark at the worldwide box office.

>Shinobi's Country comes in second place, but it had an impressive opening of its own - one that could have exceeded ¥500 million ($4.5 million) depending on its unique situation.

Since the 1st of the month (discount day) fell over a weekend, the avg. ticket prices will be lower than normal (while admissions are higher than normal), which complicates things enough; however, the film also received stage greetings on Saturday which messes with ticket prices even further... Either way, the film - directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura and based on the novel of the same name - performed very well and should have a nice run this summer.

>Beauty and the Beast experienced its expected harsh drop this weekend, although the drop could have been worse. This won't be the end of its steep declines, unfortunately, since a number of theaters are dropping it next week, and the July 15-16 weekend is extremely crowded so it'll likely be cut almost entirely then. I'm expecting it'll eventually end its run with ~¥12.5 billion ($110 million) on ~8.8 million admissions. Incredibly impressive on multiple accounts.

[PatrickvD]

Excellent for Pirates. Maybe a 6th film will happen after all? I'll admit a nice swan song with Bloom and Knightley back together would be kinda cool. And then let it rest.

I think Japan won't be able to push Pirates 5 to 800M+ WW gross.

 

It opened below the fourth film in admission even with the Discount Day boost. Maybe a 5.5M admissions ceiling or $65M-$70 total gross. Let's see how this holds next weekend.

>Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales kicks off the Summer Box Office Season with a bang, delivering a debut above the ¥1 billion mark selling 771,516 admissions across 989 screens (second highest screen count of all-time) over the weekend. It became the third film of 2017 to debut above ¥1 billion, and the 37th film overall to clear the milestone.

The fifth Pirates film matched the debut of its predecessor On Stranger Tides almost to the exact admission (down 0.2%), but opening on the 1st of the month (discount day) prevented it from matching it in revenue (down 13%). Disney is surely happy with the films' success so far, with this opening likely guaranteeing a total over ¥7 billion ($60 million) and a fair chance of reaching ¥8 billion ($70 million).

>Shinobi's Country comes in second place, debuting to an impressive 404,452 admissions over the weekend on 332 screens. The film, based on the novel of the same name and directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura, will be aiming for a ¥3 billion ($25 million+) total.

>I Have Difficulty Being Loved Too Much opened in third place, selling 143,000 admissions over the weekend frame on 252 screens. And since debuting on Friday, its 3-day admissions rose to a solid 191,000. We're about to enter the Summer Box Office, so it might be leggy enough to reach the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone. 

>Beauty and the Beast experienced its expected harsh drop this weekend thanks to the release of another major Disney tentpole, and will be winding down its run in the next couple weeks. However, over its eleventh weekend, it managed to surpass The Wind Rises to become the 18th-highest grossing film of all-time, and has sold an incredible 8,721,794 admissions to become the 23rd-most attended film of all-time. 

>Anpanman: Buruburu's Big Treasure Hunt Adventure! is the 29th entry in the popular children's program and sold 79,975 admissions over the weekend on 196 screens. The debut isn't among the top-tier in the long-running franchise, but it did come in above the average.

>Free! Timeless Medley Yakusoku (Promise) came in above estimates by a comfortable amount, selling 44,768 admissions over the weekend on just 59 screens. This is the second film in the Timeless Medley series, and the fourth overall in the Free! franchise.

I think Japan won't be able to push Pirates 5 to 800M+ WW gross.

 

It opened below the fourth film in admission even with the Discount Day boost. Maybe a 5.5M admissions ceiling or $65M-$70 total gross. Let's see how this holds next weekend.

 

 

 

I agree.

170-172 dom + 545-548 OS-J + 65-70 J = 780-790 ww is likely.

POTC slaying Japanese BO.

I expected POTC5 will drop for sure in JP as well but its the other way round.

Based on this run can we expect 60-70M till July 28 it has no significant Hollywood competition from any movie apart from The Mummy.

Mummy should do $20M or so easily but not much more.

[Cookson]

Does anyone know how much BLAME! made at the bo? Just curious since it was released on Netflix literally days after the Japanese theatrical release. I'm not sure if it was available on Japan's Netflix that soon though.

 

Toho is doing something similar with GODZILLA: MONSTER PLANET(both this and Blame! we're made by Polygon) this November, though I doubt as quick and assume GMP will make much more at the bo.

>Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales defended its #1 position atop the box office in its second weekend, and held particularly well coming off a debut weekend that was assisted by a discount day. The fifth Pirates installment will likely continue to play well throughout the month (might even repeat atop the box office for a third weekend), and should still be aiming for a total around ¥7 billion ($60 million+) milestone. 

>Mary and the Witch's Flower had to settle for a second place debut and didn't come as close to ¥500 million as Saturday suggested (thanks to a minimal Sunday increase). The opening may be slightly underwhelming, but it's important to remember that this isn't a Studio Ghibi film (even though Studio Ponoc is comprised of former Ghibli employees) and it's still higher than Hiromasa Yonebayashi''s previous film When Marnie Was There by about 12% based on estimates. It depends on how the audience reception is after next week (start of Summer Vacation), though legs in general are very strong in July/August, so a total of ¥4 billion ($35 million) is doable and certainly nothing to scoff at.
