edroger3 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY_cIIyPZuw Let It Go by K-pop group SISTAR I think that the best non-english version of Let it go is the latin/spanish "Libre Soy" by Martina Stoessel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4tGddRblok She also played an Italian version: in Italy (my country) Stoessel is widely know as Disney's TV teenage girl star "Violetta". Unfortunately my country's version is mistranslated and lost much of its original meaning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU4HOvKHfZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Apparently kids&family animated movie doraemon opened to #1 in Japan on saturday, the biggest OD since december. Potential overlap of target demography means it could hurt frozen. Edited March 8, 2014 by Rsyu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFan626 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Apparently kids&family animated movie doraemon opened to #1 in Japan on saturday, the biggest OD since december. Potential overlap of target demography means it could hurt frozen. Maybe for a week or two, but I have faith that Frozen will show excellent legs once again and get to a solid final tally.

Yeah, it's released every year in March. Apparently since 1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murgatroyd Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Yeah, it's released every year in March. Apparently since 1980. In other words, it's working with a fixed potential audience. The big Doraemon fans would have seen it no matter what, and the moderate fans are seeing it because they've heard this one's good. It's not actually competing for audience share, so is unlikely to have a big effect on anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Doraemon films usually average around $20-30m but has been known to gross higher (up to $86m) I agree frozen's legs should see it do well but I was secretly hoping frozen would get zero direct competitors and do miyazaki numbers.

Competition really isn't important in Japan, since legs are much more important anyway. Monsters University dropped 13% when Miyazaki's film opened which was one of its best drops.

Where did you get $86m? The highest grossing (and most attended) Doraemon film was last year's with $43.2m. Also, Frozen won't do Miyazaki numbers (but I can see The Wind Rises as the ceiling). Even if it does, it will do it not because of zero competition. Due to how leggy Japanese market is, Movies that make Miyazaki numbers will do it in a span of several months. During that time, there will be competitions no matter what. Edited March 9, 2014 by catlover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless wiki is lying this one did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doraemon:_Nobita%27s_Great_Battle_of_the_Mermaid_King Ok It's actually $83m I must have mistyped it. I guess we'll see how well frozen does. everything is speculation at this point. Edited March 9, 2014 by Rsyu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Seems about right. On the side, I'm a gaming journalist, and the industry revolves around Japan, so I'm familiar enough with the culture there to know that poster isn't out of the ordinary.
