Omni Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Maybe Corpse will correct me, but doubling Tue's admissions is relatively normal on Ladies Day and with discounted tickets for a movie whose audience is 70% women. The actual gross will be more restrained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual gross will be more restrained. I don't know, I don't see a lot of 100% increase on Ladies Day, even for female-oriented movies. Especially when Monday & Tuesday were already great. But maybe I'm wrong. Edited March 19, 2014 by catlover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catlover Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Btw Tangled will be aired for the first time tonight in Japan. During the commercials (or after the broadcast, I'm not sure), they will show 7 minutes of Frozen. I think it will boost its weekend number. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangled rose in popularity over here after the release of frozen which is ironic since it flopped pretty hard during it's release. Hopefully Japan can see some of that synergy effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfantin65 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sounds like it could be 200k admission day. $2m shaping up to be $9m week w holiday friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABAS Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sounds like it could be 200k admission day. $2m shaping up to be $9m week w holiday friday.B But today is a Ladies day. Women can spend 1000 yen (was 1300 ) to buy a ticket. So, I think $ 1.5 will be a more realistic assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABAS Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I was pricing that in. 200k adm at $10. 2m TOHO opens a new theater in TOKYO. I check its screening schedule, finding that on Friday (national holiday )this theater will give Frozen eight showtimes from 9:00 am to 2:30 am (midnight). In this theater, Frozen will be played in the form of 3D with highest audio equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnadine Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Sweden numbers updated again to include March 14-16 weekend. After dropping from the #1 spot it held for 5 weeks to #3 2 weeks ago with a -56% drop, it rebounded with a -14.4% drop to $224,364 for the #4 spot in it's 7th weekend. Total now stands at $8,959,523. 10m still possible, as long as it plays a few more weeks with similar holds. For some reason I thought Tangled did 9.1m in Sweden and was about to say Frozen will pass it next weekend, but I just checked and Tangled did 8.136m. so Frozen actually passed it 3 weekends ago. Just noticed Frozen is the #1 movie in Sweden for 2014 so far (not really surprising) http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/sweden/yearly/ Edited March 19, 2014 by Incarnadine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omni Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Corpse about Frozen's Wed in Japan: It's normal. Ladies Day is every Wednesday and is thus the strongest weekday. For films that skew heavily female (70, 80, 90%+), Wednesdays can sometimes be bigger than Saturday or Sunday, too.I was at the box-office forums yesterday and saw someone saying Frozen is crushing Doraemon so far this week. That's true, but Doraemon always has horrible weekdays because it targets primarily children. Until Spring Break begins (where it's weekdays will be WAY higher than it's weekend admissions), it'll only be doing 20-25% of it's business over the weekdays vs. the ~50% or so for everything else.

Mojoguy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Corpse about Frozen's Wed in Japan: Yeah, but Frozen also targets primarily children, yet it isn't having horrible weekdays. Edited March 19, 2014 by Mojoguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpse Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Doraemon targets 10 and under. Wait until Spring Break (end of the school year in Japan) begins and you'll see it's weekday admissions grow to 4/5x the current amount. Frozen is attracting a much older audience. It's avg. ticket price is about 1,267 now (2% above the nation's average), which is almost 12% higher than Doraemon's avg. ticket price of 1,123 yen (10% below the nation's average). And 3D isn't much of a factor here considering how low the share is, if it account for anything, it's only for that 2%.
