[Olive]

Solo weekend 499.4M yen, -23% off RO(650M)

including Friday, Solo 658M yen , -29% off RO

[John Marston]

That’s not bad for Solo. One of the better drops from R1

So RO had a comparatively larger Friday? I.e. Friday portion of 3-day was greater for RO?

 

if so that matches other countries where Solo skews quite young and plays better on weekends

 

overall, one of the best holds worldwide from RO I believe

I think that is because Sunday for Solo is a national discount day hence better weekend proportion.

Solo 2nd weekend 293m,-41%, 1.25B total

[a2k]

Yeah $400 ww will happen for Solo. Once upon a time that was Solo's dom target.

A 41% drop in Japan isn't that great tbh.

According to Corpse, the average legs for a July opener should get JW2 to $65-75 million.

So...Fallen Kingdom actually has a chance to match JW1 $74m. Glad to see an old market like this embracing the franchise for 25 years now.

That's about an 80% increase from the first one.  Wouldn't 100 mill be attainable with this kind of opening?
