FFH breaks out compared to Solo SHs. Rare for Japan and is a big achievement. $30 total possible, higher than Pika and KOTM.

I don't know, I was expecting it. I won't say it breakout when we know Spidey has potential to be bigger.

Hi guys how are you all doing?

 

Could someone clarify me on what could be the final WW total gross for Aladdin?! The movie is right now at $875M so based on my estimates - more $35M domestic + $30M in South Korea + $40M in Japan + $10M from other countries - it gives me a total of $990M WW.

Could Disney push it for the movie to join the billion dollar club?

the movie could hit 1 bill by itself, we dont know the exact total yet, as its too early for that but the range is 960-1 bill + i would say

Not rare. Japan likes Spidey more than any Superhero that's why it's having an increase.

Wow! Korea has still so much in the tank for Aladdin???

 

I mean, I can see the 30-40M extra dom, the 35M+ extra from Japan ... but never thought Korea would still have so much money for Aladdin. Amazing!!! 

 

Wishing for that 1B ww for Aladdin.

I think it can do 15M-20M more from Korea. Not sure about 30M, seems like a tall task.

Noticed Aladdin's Monday Numbers Increased from Last week. (Nothing major just around 6%)

 

But it's the first week/week increase I'm noticing for it.

From eiga.com:

 

Aladdin: ¥879m (8m) / ¥7.2b ($66.6m)

Far from Home: ¥699m ($6.45m) / ¥1b (9.3m)

 

My Yen to USD conversion might not be exactly accurate, but it's close. So Aladdin only dropped 12% from last weekend. Waaay lower drop than Corpse's forecast.

For Aladdin could be $8,119,342 weekend in Japan.

First day of every month is a discount day for all theaters. Admissions increased but revenue should be lower than last Monday.

Someone over here said that the movie could reach $90M in SK based on it's strong holds. It's at $60.2M right now thats why i thought more $30M was likely.

 

I would love if Aladdin passed the billion dollar. The movie deserves it even more than Beauty and the Beast and far more than Alice in Wonderland!

>Aladdin holds onto the top spot despite a strong showing from Spider-Man, managing another incredible hold. When a 12% drop is your biggest decline to date, you're doing something very, very right. It sold a further 611,000 admissions over the weekend, bringing its four-week total above 5 million already to 5,048,500!  

And due to another incredible hold, Aladdin achieved the sixth-biggest fourth weekend on record, and while its cumulative total continues to trail Beauty and the Beast and Alice in Wonderland due to no holiday support, its fourth weekend is significantly higher than both films, by a whopping 53% and 68%, respectively. Since Beauty and Alice no longer had holiday support after their fourth weeks, I imagine Aladdin will catch them in total very, very soon. A total north of ¥10 billion ($90 million+) is guaranteed now, and I expect it'll finish around ¥12/13 billion ($110-120 million).  

>Spider-Man: Far From Home had to settle for second place, but don't let the silver medal fool you -- it had an excellent debut. The second Spider-Man film in the MCU sold 460,340 admissions over the weekend frame across 824 screens, and sold 669,304 since opening on Friday.  

Spider-Man's debut came in an incredible 56% above its predecessor, and even 4% above Avengers: Infinity War, to deliver the third biggest opening weekend in the MCU behind only Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Spider-Man has always been the most popular superhero in Japan, and Far From Home's opening further proves this fact.  Expect a total around ¥4 billion ($35 million+), which would make it the fifth-highest grossing superhero film of all-time, behind the original Spider-Man trilogy and Endgame.

>The latest Anpanman release, the 31st entry in the long-running franchise, set a new franchise opening weekend record (and opening day franchise record according to the studio), selling 104,526 admissions over the weekend frame across 233 screens. Of course, this is a very notable accomplishment for such a long-running franchise, though the wider release due to theater growth expansion in recent years definitely helped it a good deal. It's expected to set a new franchise record in total as well, which currently stands at ¥650 million.

>Godzilla: King of the Monsters finally managed a respectable hold after weeks heavy frontloading to remain in the Top 5. Reaching the ¥3 billion milestone remains very difficult, but if it can continue to post similar, preferably better, holds and Toho keeps it around come August, then it just might barely reach the mark.

>Men in Black International wasn't so lucky and continues to drop ridiculously fast. It's barely going to finish above the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone, finishing an embarrassing 65-70% below its predecessor... 

>X-Men: Dark Phoenix... well, that's one of the biggest drops in rankings I've ever seen (EIGHT), as well as one of the biggest percentage declines... It was already going to become the lowest-grossing film in the overall X-Men franchise, but this is something else! A 64% drop in Japan is basically the equivalent of a 80%+ drop in the U.S.. The only films that see these types of declines are very, very niche otaku anime releases that generally have giveaways to opening week/weekend attendees.

If Aladdin makes $350M domestic and tops $120M in Japan then it could possibly out gross Alice's (2010) worldwide numbers don't you guys think?!

 

Where could i find the South Korea box office topic?!

Nothing really notable going on this weekend, besides Aladdin repeating atop the box-office for a fifth-consecutive weekend and possibly making a play at the Biggest Fifth Weekend Top 5 list.  Spider-Man: Far From Home should have a decent hold, and since its opening weekend was so impressive last week, its forecast second weekend above would only be off just 10% from its predecessor's opening weekend. 

This weekend also sort of serves as the calm before the storm that the summer box-office season brings when it begins next weekend. Mid-July through mid/late-August are the strongest six-weeks at the Japanese box-office, and this year's offerings give moviegoers plenty of options and looks to keep the box-office on fire for quite a while longer.
