Unbelievable: in Ireland police called in a toy store to stop a fight between parents who were trying to grab the latest Elsa dolls remained for sale!

Elsa dolls are VERY difficult to find right now. You better believe parents are going to fight for it like wild animals! :P

Dentsu announces '2014 Hit Products in Japan'

 

TOKYO —

Advertising giant Dentsu Inc has released its “2014 Hit Products in Japan” report. Produced as part of a series that has been chronicling hit products since 1985, the latest report examines major trends that represented the consumer mindset in 2014. It is based on an Internet survey of Japanese consumers carried out in November 2014 by Dentsu Macromill Insight, Inc.

 

Although 2014 was a year in which Japan and the Japanese people themselves regained confidence as a result of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Abenomics policies to stimulate the Japanese economy, it was a “year of ambivalence” in which an awareness of the need to economize fueled by the consumption tax increase in April intersected with aggressive consumption, the report said.

 

According to a close analysis of the rankings made by the Dentsu Innovation Institute, the fact that there is a lot of bright, cheerful content such as the movie Frozen, talking mascot characters such as Funassyi, the Yo-kai Watch games, manga and toys, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ and Halloween costumes in the top-ranked products shows that although people do not want to return to the gloomy deflation era and yet still do not have the courage to move forward with confidence, there are cheerful, comfortable feelings propping them up.

 

Although growth is stagnant, the strength of the Japanese economy, Japan’s participation in overseas events such as the Sochi Winter Olympic Games, the Japanese Nobel laureates who invented blue LEDs, global recognition of the Tomioka Silk Mill as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO, and the ongoing development in Japan of electric vehicles (including fuel cell-powered vehicles) and jet aircraft have enhanced the country’s profile both at home and abroad.

In addition, lightweight wearable terminals and other futuristic technology applications are appearing one after another, and are making inroads into our lifestyles. 3D printers and public Wi-Fi are technologies that are closely related with our daily lives, and will boost expectations toward lifestyle innovations.

The following top 20 products (which include some popular content and social phenomena) were selected from 130 popular items and services by 1,200 Internet survey respondents aged between 20 and 69. The figures in parentheses are last year’s rankings. Previously unranked products are indicated with (–).

 

 

2014 Hit Products
No. 1: “Frozen” (Walt Disney animated movie) (–)
No. 2: Talking mascot characters (10*)

No. 18: Tomioka Silk Mill (–)
No. 19: Premium beer (–)
No. 20: Compact cars/K-cars (engine displacement up to 660 cc) (16)

In Italy Frozen wins "Golden Ticket" prize (http://www.giornatedicinema.it/info/579/1/regolamento-biglietti-doro-2014.php) assigned by ANEC, association of italian cinema operators, for the most attended movie in year (from 1 december 2013 to 30 november 2014) based on Cinetel datas.

Frozen sold near 3 millions tickets, not a great number if compared to the japanese 20 mil and the korean 10 mil but very good for this market, especially for an original animated movie (Frozen is the highest grossing original animated from 2005's Madagascar).

Not so fast, there:

Idina Menzel on 'Frozen' Sequel: "I Have No Idea"

She made the same boo-boo that a lot of people make, including some journalists, in simply assuming that Frozen 2 is in the works without actually knowing any facts about this matter at all (only that Frozen was a mega-hit).

 

Dem legs...

Mmmm-hmmm...and the movie has pretty good staying power, too. ;)

I assume it's being talked about and maybe even scripts are being written... but I assume they are a long way away from officially creating a sequel.  

 

How much more $ is this gonna make worldwide over Christmas with re-releases?

 

I wish they would re-release it in the USA from Christmas... we'd go see it.

Maybe if it does well in the UK?

I assume it's being talked about and maybe even scripts are being written...

Possibly (although Jennifer Lee is busy writing something else), but I assume nothing because the directors of Frozen aren't interested and Disney CEO Bob Iger seems to be in no hurry himself (even explained why publicly). The situation may change someday, but any feeling of urgency seems to be limited to the media and the public, and probably in that order. :)

The thing is that people have so much trouble believing this because they've grown accustomed to sequels being announced as soon as a movie like this becomes even only a moderate hit on OW, if not before it is even released. Studios will often do that whether they know what the sequel will be about or not, and who will be making it (unless they planned ahead, which is common, too). Well, WDAS is different (sequels are weird to them), and Iger requires any sequel to be as good as the original (to protect the franchise, which will make a killing for years even without a sequel), but the directors would rather do something else, so what is Disney to do? For now, nothing, except maybe to do some brainstorming over potential ideas, but finding one that they like may take years (they have lots of other stuff--new and therefore more exciting stuff--to do, too), as it typically does with Pixar's sequels, for example.

 

but I assume they are a long way away from officially creating a sequel.

You never know, but this is probably the safest assumption we can make at this point.

Frozen Home video sales news in UK.  :)

 

http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/disneys-frozen-reaches-massive-sales-landmark-3325/

 

Disney’s Frozen reaches massive sales landmark

 

Disney’s Frozen DVD/Blu-ray melts the nation’s hearts as it passes 3 million sales landmark.

 

Disney’s Frozen has set a new sales landmark this week, becoming the first video release this year to pass the 3 million sales mark.

Official Charts Company can reveal that the award-winning film - which tells of the chilly adventures of Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf the snowman - is now on course to potentially become the biggest selling DVD/Blu-ray of the decade.

 

Only Avatar and Skyfall have sold more than 3 million copies since the start of 2010 - and, after selling 160,000 copies last week to hit number 3 in the Official Video Chart, Frozen has now overtaken Skyfall and is closing in on Avatar with a month to go until the end of the year.

 

Frozen has taken on a new lease of life in recent weeks thanks to the release of a new singalong version – leaving it on course to retain its Top 5 place this week too. In passing the latest video milestone, the release also becomes one of the biggest 20 DVD/Blu-rays of all time, where it currently sits at 15. If it overhauls Avatar, the title will also enter the all-time Top 10.

 

After making its debut in the spring with 899,000 sales in its opening week, Frozen topped the Official Video Chart for four weeks. The impact of the movie on the British public is also underlined by the success of its soundtrack, which is currently the second biggest selling album of 2014 with more than 800,000 copies sold.

 

In addition, singles such as Let It Go, Do You Want To Build A Snowman and For The First Time In Forever have also helped the project racking up a total of 1.3 million track downloads and 63 million audio track streams this year.Let It Go is currently one of the Top 10 biggest selling singles of 2014 in the UK having racked up sales of over779,000 copies to date.

 

Frozen is the highest-grossing Disney branded film of all time and the biggest animation of all time, having made more than $1 billion at the global box office. Critics and audiences are united in their praise for the film which, amongst its many accolades, won two Academy Awards for Best Animation and Best Original Song for Let It Go, as well as a BAFTA Awards and a Golden Globe.

 

Official Charts Company chief executive Martin Talbot said: "The British fans have taken Olaf and his pals to their hearts this year – 3 million videos, 800,000 albums, 1.3 million track sales and 63 million streams can leave no-one in any doubt of that."

 

The biggest selling DVD/Blu-rays of the decade so far are: 

 

1 AVATAR

2 FROZEN

3 SKYFALL

4 HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PT 1

5 DESPICABLE ME

6 THE INBETWEENERS MOVIE

7 HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PT 2

8 TOY STORY 3

9 INCEPTION

10 THE KING'S SPEECH
