Toho Cinemas Saturday Admissions (05/03-04)

Saturday (05/03) Admissions:

Admissions (% change from last Sat.) - Film (Dis.) Week in Release
82,483 (+47.0%) - Frozen (Disney) Week 8
44,494 (+11.7%) - Thermae Romae II (Toho) Week 2
33,001 (+3.0%) - Detective Conan: The Sniper from Another Dimension (Toho) Week 3
14,794 (+20.1%) - Crayon Shin-chan: Serious Battle! Robot Dad Strikes (Toho) Week 3
22,765(-17.8%) - The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Sony) Week 2
16,390 (-16.2%) - Partners the Movie 3 (Toei) Week 2
15,083 (NEW) - My Little Nightmare (Toho) NEW
14,958 (NEW) - Enchanted Kingdom 3D (Toho-Towa) NEW

>Frozen should have done about 420,000 admissions for the day using Toho's admissions from last weekend vs. overall admissions. So... ¥550/560 million ($5.3/5.4 million) day, easily its biggest day-to-date, and dare I say it, makes a ¥1 billion+ ($10 million+) 8th weekend possible.

Everything else except for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Partners 3 look in store for weekend increases based on Saturday admissions, too. Detective Conan is cutting it close, but its Sundays are a lot bigger than its Saturdays, so I'm sure it'll see an increase, too.

mfantin is tiring but to be fair he is not a ijack or kal kind of poster. He tries to extrapolate from some data though he is super positive and unrelenting.

Yeah, I'll give him credit there. He's definitely overzealous though. Did you see his email to Subers?

Yes. That is hilarious for sure

THX!

What about THE PHANTOM MENACE & JURASSIC PARK & the Disney re-releases?

None of the admission figures have re-releases included.

We can add the recent re-release admissions like those you mentioned, but they all disappointed with around 300-500,000 admissions each. No exact admission figure is known though since they all failed to reach the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone at the box-office.

And none of the Disney re-releases made any impact, and I believe all of them failed to debut or ever come close to the Top 10 weekend charts and disappeared from theaters in a few weeks.

The only movement on the all-time admissions chart by including the re-release admissions would be bumping The Phantom Menace from 26 to 22 (not a bad boost here); Jurassic Park up from 23 to 21; and Finding Nemo down from 22 to 23. Monsters Inc. might rise from 33 to 32, too. These are approximate changes, keep in mind.

It was reported that Frozen exceeded ¥13.3 billion ($130 million) on Friday, its 50th day in release, adding approx. ¥1.2 billion ($11.8 million) to its total over the past five days.

And it looks good for a minimum of ¥900 million ($9 million) over the weekend, but can certainly reach a ¥1 billion ($10 million+) based on Saturday's stellar figures and Sunday mornings/afternoons sell outs or near sell-outs already.

Here is where it ranks as of Friday though using ¥13.35 billion and the most recent avg. ticket price (since it was somewhere between ¥13.3 billion and ¥13.4 billion):

It'll break the Top 10-All Time (Gross) over the weekend, unofficially did on Saturday already, ahead of The Last Samurai.

Astonishing.

Corpse are you sure that 13.3 billion was passed on Friday because on BO.com forums they mention that 13.3 billion was passed on May 1, which was Thursday.

Were you referring to its GDP? It declined in 2011. Recently, the central bank cuts its 2014 growth rate forecast to 1.1%.

Don't mind Sparrow, he doesn't know what he's referring to.

It was in reference to Frozen still increasing in Japan over weekends after so many weeks in release.

ERC is reporting 11M weekend for Frozen in Japan. I am sure they are lowballing. I am sure it will be close to 12M.

The time has come

its absolutely out of world that its 8th weekend is almost 50% higher than its OW. I am not sure if that has ever happened even in Japan.

After this no way can any one say frozen domestic run is better than this.

Yeah, it was on Thursday but it was reported on Saturday so it was assumed as Friday until another article was published.

Toho Cinemas Weekend Admissions (05/03-04)

Admissions (% change from last Wkd.) - Film (Dis.) Week in Release
178,854 (+43.2%) - Frozen (Disney) Week 8
94,942 (+11.8%) - Thermae Romae II (Toho) Week 2
69,710 (-6.2%) - Detective Conan: The Sniper from Another Dimension (Toho) Week 3
47,813(-18.3%) - The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Sony) Week 2
34,140 (-6.8%) - Partners the Movie 3 (Toei) Week 2
31,068 (+5.9%) - Crayon Shin-chan: Serious Battle! Robot Dad Strikes (Toho) Week 3
29,538 (NEW) - Enchanted Kingdom 3D (Toho-Towa) NEW
29,089 (NEW) - My Little Nightmare (Toho) NEW

>Frozen has its biggest weekend at Toho Cinemas to date, and this just so happens to be the most-attended weekend for any film at Toho Cinemas since at least 2010 (Alice in Wonderland's Opening Weekend), and its an 8th weekend...

>Thermae Romae II seeing a possible double digit second weekend increase is very good.

>Detective Conan decreasing is pretty peculiar, but given how far its tracking ahead of every other film in the franchise, maybe its expected. Monday is also a the biggest holiday of Golden Week for children, so that may have something to do with deflating the weekend slightly.

>The Amazing Spider-Man 2 drops a little more than expected here, but the weekend estimates (which I'll post shortly) are more kind. Aeon Cinemas is probably the first choice chain for it.

Here's another chart I didn't update last week (busy week for me).

But last weekend earned itself the biggest Fall/Winter Weekend and the 7th Biggest Overall Weekend (since at least 2001):

Biggest Weekends (Top 10) [2001-]

¥1.09 billion ($10.8 million), +40%, ¥14.50 billion ($142.2 million) *Estimate*

Top 10-All Time


Bye-bye to The Last Samurai. It was in the Top 10 for eleven years, but Frozen had no trouble knocking it out this past weekend. And Frozen is about a ¥1 billion away now from Ponyo and Avatar, which it'll more than likely surpass before next weekend. And beating Harry Potter 2 and Bayside Shakedown 2 is practically a lock now as well.

Just amazing. We're at the point where beating Iron Man 3 worldwide is a pretty much a lock, right?

GG Japan.

Frozen will exceed ¥15 billion (~$150 million) either tomorrow (Monday) or on Tuesday, its 53rd or 54th day in release. It's more than likely going to be tomorrow though since it's another holiday and there are sellouts everywhere, so I'll go ahead and update this:

Fastest to ¥1 billion (3 Days or Less)

Fastest to ¥3 billion (10 Days or Less)

Fastest to ¥5 billion (25 Days or Less)

Fastest to ¥10 billion (90 Days or Less)

Fastest to ¥15 billion (All)

Fastest to ¥20 billion (All)

Fastest to ¥30 billion (All)


*Not enough data on Titanic, Star Wars Episode I, Bayside Shakedown, Armageddon or anything before 1998 (Jurassic Park, E.T., Antarctica and Independence Day) to be included.

I guess $200 million is no longer just possible, but has become likely.

it will be around 165M after next sunday. 200M is locked. I am sure its beating SA at least in $ gross. Question is can it beat Titanic admissions. Tough at this point but not impossible. This weekend will tell us where it will go for sure. Corpse did say competition is weak(not that it mattered so far) and it has an open May/June ahead. Hopefully it cracks 250M in japan.
