>Justice League becomes the first DC film to ever debut atop the box office in Japan (at least since 1990), but its opening weekend is also lower than every other film currently in the DCEU (as seen in my previous post). Over the weekend frame, the DC team-up only sold 133,500 admissions on 639 screens, and the early release on Thursday has brought its four-day admissions up to 285,373 admissions. 
 

Justice League debuted at #1 but its debut was very lackluster, to say the very least, earning the lowest opening weekend of 2017 for a Marvel or DC film.

Versus other DC films, it opened:
48% lower than Suicide Squad
45% lower than The Dark Knight Rises
45% lower than Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
44% lower than Superman Returns
39% lower than The Dark Knight
30% lower than Batman Begins
24% lower than Man of Steel
23% lower than Wonder Woman

The only silver-lining that came from its opening was its #1 debut -- it's actually the FIRST DC film to ever debut at #1 in Japan(excluding the 1970s/1980s), despite its opening being much lower than all but the likes of epic bombs The Green Lantern and Catwoman.
All of the DCEU films have at least managed to exceed the ¥1 billion (~$10 million) milestone, and this one should as well, but it'll probably finish with just ¥1.1/1.2 billion ($10/11 million). 

>IT falls to second place after rising to first place in its third weekend last week, but still managed to post a great hold in its fourth weekend. The film has exceeded 1.1 million admissions, and is well on its way to exceeding the ¥2 billion (~$20 million) milestone and becoming one of the highest-grossing horror films of all-time.

>Hibana: Spark certainly disappointing, and isn't the way Toho wants November to end for them. The live-action adaptation of the tv drama based on the Hibana novel only sold 82,404 admissions over the weekend frame across 318 screens, bringing its four-day admissions up to 164,513 admissions since opening on Thursday.

>Godzilla: Planet of Monsters experienced a rough second weekend drop, suggesting it'll only finish with around ¥500 million ($4-4.5 million). As I've mentioned several times, the release of the film made it clear that Toho wasn't expecting much from the film, but at the same time, a total well below even ¥1 billion seems disappointing.

>Thor: Ragnarok suffered a harsh drop in its fourth week following severe screen/showtime cuts, and dropped out of the Top 10; however, it has exceeded the ¥1 billion milestone, becoming the first film in the series to reach the mark and will outgross MCU own Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 from earlier this year.

Great for It, I hope it can have some good holds before TLJ so to reach $700. An amazing performance for this film again.

>Fullmetal Alchemist came out on top, but its opening is also pretty underwhelming considering the solid pre-sales, marketing, and release strategy. The live-action adaptation of the popular manga/anime sold 191,212 admissions over the weekend frame across 441 screens, and 290,801 admissions since opening on Friday.

Overall, its weekend is poor I'd say, especially since it's noticeably lower than other Shonen live-action adaptations released by Warner Bros., such as Gintama from earlier this year, the Rurouni Kenshin trilogy, and the various Death Note films. The film is probably going to finish a bit above ¥1.5 billion (~$15 million), which is (again) pretty disappointing, but perhaps it can crawl its way to a ¥2 billion (~$20 million) finish to look a bit more respectable.

>Detective in the Bar 3 almost matched its predecessor's debut (down 4%), selling 110,618 admissions over the weekend frame on 334 screens, and 167,529 admissions since opening on Friday. This is a solid start with great audience retention from the 4-year gap between releases. It's not a guarantee, and maybe not even higher than a 50% chance, but reaching the ¥1 billion (~$10 million) milestone is doable.

>Justice League experienced a steep second weekend drop, falling to third place after opening atop the box office last weekend. It's going to exceed the ¥1 billion (~$10 million) milestone, probably finish with about ¥1.1 billion, which is nice, but it's also below every other film in the DCEU. DC's latest has exceeded 500,000 admissions (501,202) after two weeks in release. 

>IT enjoyed another good hold, but it has begun to witness more normal drops after increasing/remaining flat in its first three weeks of release. It's still on course to exceed ¥2 billion (~$20 million), a rare milestone for a film in the horror genre. It has exceeded 1.3 million admissions (1,341,367) after five weeks in release.

>High & Low 3: Final Mission exceeded the ¥1 billion milestone in its fourth weekend of release, celebrating the series going four-for-four in reaching the milestone.

>The Last Recipe has exceeding the ¥1 billion milestone as well in its fifth weekend of release, turning a disappointing opening weekend into a very respectable run thus far.

The box office has been in a weak state since Fall began, especially now with the bottom half of the Top 10 being below ¥50 million and the very bottom falling below even ¥25 million. Thankfully,the next couple weeks has several notable films releasing that should liven the box office up again in time for the New Year.

>Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Riders, the 57th theatrical release in the long-running Kamen Rider film franchise, debuts atop the box office, selling an impressive 303,089 admissions across 331 screens.

This opening is the eighth biggest among the Heisei era (1992-) films, and the biggest in the franchise in five years. The Kamen Rider franchise is naturally frontloaded, and none of the films in the past several years have been capable of reaching the ¥1 billion milestone; however, this film looks to break that trend and should be the first film in quite some time to finally achieve the milestone. Expect a total around ¥1.2 billion (~$11 million).

>Destiny: The Tale of Kakamura, the latest film from director Takashi Yamazaki, settles for second place, selling a decent 231,465 admissions across 401 screens. This debut is just 4% higher than Yamazaki's previous film, The Man They Called Pirate, so a total between ¥2.0-2.5 billion (~$18-22 million) is likely given the positive reception and similar release date. 

Distributor Toho was certainly hoping for more, I'm sure, since this was their major live-action tentpole for December, but unfortunately for them they'll have to be content and wish for a more lucrative 2018. 

>Murder on the Orient Express debuts in third place, selling 169,100 admissions over the weekend frame on 455 screens, and 231,465 admissions since opening on Friday. The third place start may look unimpressive, but the opening itself is solid and almost earned Fox their biggest opening weekend of 2017 (only behind Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children).

Unless a film is largely fanbase driven (e.g. Kamen Rider), films released in mid-December often develop great legs, with one or two sometimes approaching multipliers as high as 10 (or higher) -- I'm expecting the Orient Express to potentially be one of those films. Expect a total between ¥1.5-2 billion (~$13-18 million). 

>Girls und Panzer: The Finale - Part 1 comes in fourth place, selling 118,798 admissions across just 59 screens. This debut is 14% higher than the 2015 Girls und Panzer film, but unlike that film, I'm doubting Part 1 will have anywhere near the longevity it mustered. Expect a total near ¥1 billion (~$10 million), perhaps? 

>Fullmetal Alchemist experiences a steep second weekend decline, certainly not the result Warner Bros. was wanting to see after an underwhelming debut last weekend. The film will be a target for severe screen/showtime cuts next weekend, so will be unlikely to take much advantage of the upcoming holidays. Expect a disappointing total around ¥1.5 billion (~$13 million).

>IT is still performing well and is approaching the ¥2 billion (~$18 million) milestone in its sixth weekend of release. It'll exceed the mark over the next weekend, becoming one of just a handful of horror films to ever achieve the milestone. Expect a finish around ¥2.3 billion ($20/21 million).
