JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW

[RealLyre]

Aladdin being a potential ¥10B grosser is amazing. only 32 films have achieved that milestone and only 20 live action import films have done it. Jasmine's role being amplified more than in the original is only going to help Aladdin as females make up a large portion of the movie going audience in Japan.

1. Titanic ¥26.2B
2. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ¥20.3B

[KP1025]

Corpse:

 

Excellent for Aladdin, and an incredible debut for the month of June (it'll be the third biggest ever, and the biggest in 15 years).

I'm estimating a debut of ¥1,140,000,000 ($10.5 million) on 780,000 admissions, and a 3-day total of ¥1,400,000,000 ($12.9 million) on 965,000 admissions. It'll become the 43rd film to open above the ¥1 billion milestone.

This opening should allow it to reach a minimum of ¥7.5 billion ($70 million), and that's only if it receives bad WOM (which looks unlikely, audience scores are good) and the July competition hits it really hard. A more realistic finish will be around ¥9 billion ($80 million+). ¥10 billion ($90 million+) is also possible, but it'll require great WOM and some of the July films to disappoint (resulting in it not losing as many screens/showtimes).

¥9B total seems reasonable for Aladdin. Although personally I believe it will make more than ¥10B and even close to BatB.

Actuals and Charts from Corpse :

 

Aladdin's opening weekend actual was released, and it grossed ¥1,122,000,000 ($10.3 million) on 766,000 admissions over the weekend frame. After 3-days in release, it grossed ¥1,396,000,000 ($12.9 million) on 960,000 admissions (the 3-day total will be exact later this evening).  

Below is what I believe is the complete list of Opening Weekends & Totals for Walt Disney releases since 1998 (data is scarce before then), but I could have missed a couple films. I've done separate lists for the various Disney franchises, but never a full one for Walt Disney as a whole, so let me know if I overlooked something. Just note that while many of the films represent both lists, there are some entries that just made one of them, so if that's the case I didn't make a mistake.

[XXR vs XXR]

I’d say $75m is locked for Aladdin. I don’t think it’ll eclipse BATB but I could see it as high as $95m.

[Sunny Max]

Yeah that's minimum $75 M ... BATB will be tough to beat..
