edroger3 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Any chance we might know the current numbers eventually? Why does it take this long to release the numbers for the 2nd week? I think this is the time they need to collect data from all retailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocho Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Disney's next animated film is the planes spin-off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnadine Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Disney's next animated film is the planes spin-off? Nope, it's the Marvel crossover Big Hero 6 later this year. The planes spin-off isn't WDAS, it's DisneyToon Studios. I guess you could say it's the next "Disney" animated movie, but most people think of Walt Disney Animated Studios when they think of the big animated movies, otherwise you could also count Pixar and Studio Ghibli as both are also part of Disney.

From 1997's release of Princess Mononoke, Disney have rights for distribution of Ghibli movies internationally, while in Japan are usually distribuited by Toho. P.S. 100 pages!

BadAtGender Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Disney has some distribution rights for Studio Ghibli films (although not all of them; GKIDS also distributes them.) But AFAIK, they have no ownership stake in the company, nor any intellectual property rights to the characters. Ghibli is definitely not Disney, in the way Pixar, WDAS, and DisneyToons are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigley Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Since the Japan run will most likely be interrupted on July 16, my expectations are now lowered. HP7:P2 (WW) and Spirited Away (in Japan) can not be surpassed. However, $900M ONA and $1.3B WW are still within reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 In dollars SA will be passed,in the end it's the only meaningful number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 In dollars SA will be passed,in the end it's the only meaningful number. It's the Japanese gross charts, I'm sure the local currency matters more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So normal=ignorant? Not factoring in local currency inflation and exchange rates has nothing to do with realism, I prefer to think that the average person doesn't care for outdated data. Box office mojo for all it's positives has negatives to match and it may be the best thing available right now but it is far from the international standard. Moreover international comparison by definition pertains to comparisons between nations. If you're just talking about the gross chart for a single country why the need for comparison? What country exactly are you comparing against? The most objective barometer of a movie's success in a particular country should come from either admissions or local currency.

You know who normal people are? It's people who know the truth. And here is one truth you might wanna know. Box Office Mojo only reports a record if it has been achieved in the local curency. Want some proof? Finding Nemo earned $102M in Japan. BOM wrote a report on Toy Story 3 grossing $1B WW and it said that, after having grossed $115M in Japan, TS3 is the second highest-grossing US animated film, because, in yen, it had grossed less than Finding Nemo. So the next time you decide what normal is and what isn't, do some research. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=2904&p=.htm Having said that, mark my words: Box Office Mojo will never report Frozen as the highest-grossing film in Japan, unless it surpasses Spirited Away in yen.

tong kosong Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think for box office geeks like us, of course the local currency matters. But for people who don't follow box office regularly (normal people according to Fullbuster), I think the local currency doesn't really matter. Most likely they will just see the BOM numbers and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) This is so true. Big sites are working with official numbers and press releases. And studios measure all records in local currency. People pay in roulbles in Russia, in euro or pounds in Europe. If exchange rates somehow increase or decrease people usually will still pay the same amount of money.

Fullbuster Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 So,in the end for the huge majority of people in the world Frozen will be number one in Japan.And I will say the same as much as possible when it happens.Soon SA will be beaten by Frozen in dollars,so it will be all that matters.Frozen will beat SA very soon,rejoice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
