If BH6 holds well, I can see it just crossing the $20 million mark although my prediction right now is in the high $18 to mid 19 million.  I hope it does well in its remaining markets because we need Baymax and Hiro to make it to $600 million WW! :D

I have a quick question if you don't mind: are there a lot of or any Korean animated films?  If so, do they fare (in terms of Box Office success) as well as Japanese or Western animated films? 

 

There are quite a few, and released fairly often too but generally they're really low in quality and the target audience is very young (like under 5 year olds). Unlike Japan and the USA where animated films receive a lot of attention and support, it's a media format that is generally shunned in Korea with little to no investment leading to a lower quality production and so on in a viscous cycle. It's a shame because the talent is there for it to improve. A Korean was one of the top animators participating in the production of Frozen for example. Now, even popular webtoons (cartoons on the web) get remade as live action television series or films

 

The most successful animated film is "Leafie, a hen into the wild" with 2,201,722 admissions which was a pretty decent performance but other films weren't nearly as successful. 

 

Top 10 Korean animated films (Admissions:2003~)

01.

2,201,722 Leafie, a hen into the wild (2011)

02. 1,040,636 Speckles: The TaboSaurus (2011)

03.    929,985 Pororo: The Racing Adventure (2013)

04.    705,207 Robot Taekwon V (2007)

05.    482,988 Yobi, the five-tailed fox (2007)

06.    467,787 The Nut Job (2014)

07.    267,588 Shark Bait (2006)

08.    257,635 Pororo: The Snow fairy village adventure (2014)

09.    224,000 Wonderful days (2003)

10.    206,344 The Koala Kids (2012)

Wasn't that a rerelease of some ancient like 1980's animation? And it's still 4th?

Yeah it was released originally in 1976 and re-released in digital form in 2007 I believe. And yup! still 4th...

 

Surprised Big hero jumped so well.

 

It's showings at my cinema have been gutted by Doraemon and OZ

 

It's a weekend movie and jumps have always been larger than other films. It had a seat saturation of 41.6% today which is pretty high so people actively sought it out I guess.
