Weekend Actuals (10/14-15)

 

 

Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel Ch.1 delivered an excellent debut (the biggest since August), selling a very impressive 247,507 admissions over the weekend on only 128 screens. The first film in the trilogy sold nearly 45% of its available weekend admissions. I'm sure there'll be a certain degree of frontloading here, but a total over ¥2 billion (~$20 million) is very likely.

CORPSE

 

It also unseated Love Live!The School Idol Movie as #2 top gross/attendence "late-night animation"(sort of, ufotable did make "Unlimited Blade Works" Chapter as late-night anime, but fate was originally a game aeries) in process.

 

The gift factor again played very well this time(see back my post in 2015 for what that mean, although item code more in this case like Monster Strike did)

 

Note: Ch.2 lost butterfly will be in 2018.

[Cookson]

Any early projections for Godzilla: Monster Planet?

Just wondering if there's going to be Shin Godzilla bleedover(in a good way).

>Mix, the ping-pong romantic-comedy directed by Junichi Ishikawa, comes out on top with a respectable 179,623 admissions sold across 276 screens over the weekend. The opening is high enough to guarantee a total above ¥1 billion (~$10 million), and the critical reception is good that it could leg its way to a ¥1.5 billion (~$15 million) total.

>The Disastrous Life of Saiki K was perhaps the biggest "success" this weekend, selling an impressive 155,882 admissions over the weekend on 275 screens. The live-action adaptation of the manga is a co-production with Asmik Ace, but it is Sony's second biggest debut of the year behind Spider-Man: Homecoming. 

>American Made had to settle for third place, selling 133,838 admissions over the weekend on 291 screens. This is an okay opening, though it does comes in below Cruise's last couple films. A ¥1 billion (~$10 million) total is doable, but it's far from a lock. 

>Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel, Ch. I - Presage Flower fell hard, which isn't surprising, though its drop is higher than other comparable anime films, such as Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale from earlier this year. It could have some giveaways or special events in the coming weekends, which is typical of the genre, so it could recover as a result. 

>War of the Planet of the Apes fell much harder than its predecessor in its second weekend, and will probably miss the ¥1 billion (~$10 million) milestone now -- very disappointing result for the third film in the Apes franchise.

>Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Ch. I - Koudou hasn't had its actual figure released yet, which is becoming a trend for Showgate releases for some reason, but it came in ninth place in ticket sales. So for now, I'm leaving its estimate above and will update it when/if its actual is released.

>Atomic Blonde, as Algren put it, could be renamed Atomic Bomb. It certainly wasn't expected to do much, though, but debut in tenth place on 44,528 admissions over the weekend frame (69,065 since opening on Friday) is very poor.

Thor3 opened on holiday Friday, 3-day OW should be above 400M yen

TDW OW was sub-200M yen, $6M total

 

IT debut #2, maybe 70-80% of Thor numbers

Nice! 

 

$15M seems possible for Thor 3.

I think 12M， CBM are extremely front-loaded in Japan. Let alone Thor3 OW is inflated.

[Olive]

Thor3 OD Friday 167.36M + OW 230.59m= 3-day 397.95M yen

Thor 2 2-day OW 187.5M yen

>High & Low 3: Final Mission debuts atop the box office, selling 237,212 admissions over the weekend on 318 screens. The opening is 14% below its predecessor; however, third film in the High & Low film project received some advance screenings prior to its opening, quite rare in today's market, and sold 282,505 admissions in total so far. Yesterday, I said it'd probably take awhile to reach the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone, and it still will, but it should get there in 4/5 weeks.

>IT is the real winner and big story of this weekend, increasing a phenomenal 22% in its second weekend. The retelling of Stephen King's novel also exceeded 500,000 admissions after nine days in release, which is also a nice accomplishment in the horror genre. It's still early to project a total, but it's very likely to approach the ¥2 billion ($20 million) milestone and I wouldn't be too surprised if it climbs closer to ¥2.5 billion ($25 million). I can't actually recall any horror film actually exceeding ¥2 billion right now, but I'll do some research into the genre this week. 

>Thor: Ragnarok slips to third place dropping 40% in its second weekend, which is a pretty standard decline for most Marvel/DC films in the market. After just two weeks in release, the third Thor film has already become the highest-grossing film in the franchise, outgrossing both of its predecessors. 

>Is the Order a Rabbit? Dear My Sister, a 60-minute special episode of the anime, made a surprising and very impressive debut in fourth place over the weekend. The special episode sold 79,471 admissions on only 40 screens, achieving an excellent psa in the process.
