Admission Ranking above for span between 04/09/2011 and 04/10/2011
In a rare event , OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders tops the Box Office for a second consecutive weekend.
Of course competition was almost non-existant, and all the holdovers have been in release now for at least four weeks, but it's still an impressive feat for a Kamen Rider film with their front-loaded nature.
SP: The Motion Picture - Revolution maintains it's grip on the second place ranking after five weeks in release, while the very leggy, Tangled, moves up one position to finish third this weekend.
Unfortunately for Tangled, any chance of passing up both Let's Go Kamen Riders and SP: The Motion Picture - Revolution next weekend is going to be blocked by one or more openers.
Dropping down to fourth this weekend is Doraemon: Nobita and the Steel Troops - The New Age. But to cheer the robotic cat up is the fact that his latest has exceeded the 2 million admission milestone, which should bring it's 37 day total to 2.2 billion yen ($26 million).
Not much else going on in the Rankings this weekend with families still going to see Precure All Stars and Narnia, with The Tourist and The King's Speech holding onto their older audiences.
However, The Rite attracted some 50,183 admissions for a weekend gross of 64.5 million yen ($765,000) to rank sixth.
Next week sees the annual openings of the 15th Anniversary Film for the Detective Conan franchise, Detective Conan: 15 Minutes of Silence, and Crayon Shin-chan: The Golden Spy Mission on the 16th.
Hollywood is offering up Jack Black's Gulliver's Travels, and the recent disappointment, Sucker Punch, on the 15th.
It's going to be interesting to see how the current family/kid releases that have had superb holds or increases for a month now fair with some intense competition, and potential 3D screen loss in a couple cases.
