Do you have any comparisons to Your Name., or from Studio Ghibli or other Japanese anime films in the market? 61,391 certainly looks good.


YOUR NAME opened with €785,141 (64,830 admissions) two years ago and went on to make €1,189,278 (103,700 admissions)


Good retention. Thank you. 100,000 admissions looks to be a bit tough, but hopefully it hits that mark.

Damn, Parasite just keeps finding new countries to break out in! :D How is it doing compared to other Korean films? Could it become one of the biggest ever in Japan?


I'm not finding any successful Korean films. When I say "successful", I just mean ones that earned above ¥1 billion (~$10 million) at the box-office. A film can still be successful if they fail to reach this milestone, ¥500 million is certainly good, especially for non-Hollywood imported releases like this one.

So, unless I'm missing one (and I do feel there's a glaring one I overlooked somewhere*), it seems likely to me that Parasite will become the biggest Korean film in Japan since it's going to easily gross over ¥1 billion ($10 million); it should be good for around ¥1.5 billion (almost $15 million) even without picking up any major wins at the Academy Awards.

It may have even been the #1 film at the box-office on Tuesday (and certainly #2). Of course, it's suppose to be playing strongly over the weekdays due to its largely adult-audience, but its weekday performance has been very impressive regardless.

*If there's a Korean film someone thinks (or knows) performed well internationally, particularly in Japan, please let me know so I can check on it.

Corpse, along with searching for information about the Showa Gamera features, do you think it's possible to estimate the number of tickets the Heisei Gamera movies sold? Guardian of the Universe (1995) made 520 million yen, Advent of Legion (1996) made 700 million yen, Revenge of Iris (1999) made 600 million yen, and The Brave (2006) made 410 million yen.


Getting estimates for those films will be pretty easy. I don't have a lot of free time this evening, and will be spending most of it posting the Weekend Actuals and Chart Updates, but I'll have them posted for you in a day or two. Question though: Are those the Distributor Income totals, or the actual Revenue Gross?

Those numbers are the distribution income totals.


Alright. I'm going to estimate their gross based on the distributor income, and then estimate their admissions from that number for you:

665,000 - Guardian of the Universe
900,000 - Advent of Legion
760,000 - Revenge of Iris
530,000 - The Brave

From what I can find it seems the budgets for the first three films were in the $4-$7 million neighborhood. Were they profitable with admission numbers like that? Though I'm not sure how big of a cut Toho got from distributing them.

The only Korean film I remember making the top 10 is Haeundae. According to Mojo The Host (2006) made more on OW, but obviously neither of these anywhere near Parasite numbers.

All except for The Brave. The other three would have either grossed the high-end of that budget range or slightly exceeded it. They would have been very small profits though.

There are usually a few Korean films each year that barely make the Top 10 in their debut, but none have had notable lengthy-performances, and they've never earned ¥1 billion or close to it, to my knowledge.

It's probably safe to say that Parasite will become the highest grossing Korean film in Japan, if it hasn't already achieved that goal. It was #1 at the box-office on Wednesday by a comfortable margin (grossing around ¥40 million ($350,000+)), and even increased versus last Wednesday.

I'll keep an eye on news articles talking about it since such a record would surely be mentioned.

Post Re: Japan Box Office: 43rd Japan Academy Prize Nominations
A couple of quick notes about this year's nominations:

>Fly Me to the Saitama (or Tonde Saitama), the film with the most nominations this year and one of the three leading contenders to win Best Picture is a comedy film. If it wins Best Picture, I believe it'll be the first comedy to ever win the award. It's a very good film, and I'd recommend it, but knowledge of Japan (some about the geography, a lot about the pop culture) is certainly recommended to appreciate it for its jokes, puns and humor; it's chock-full of references.

>The Mule gives Clint Eastwood his 8th nominated film in Best Foreign Language, once again breaking his own record.

Hi Corpse, I think there's one movie in 2005 called A Moment to Remember that was pretty big in Japan, though I don't remember the exact number. You can probably check on that.

It's received a ton of seating and showtimes, though it's mostly due to the state of the market right now and being the only notable opener. I'll have the Musical Box-Office History post up soon with a bit about how Cats may perform this weekend.

Cats debuts this weekend and... I think it's going to do decently, at least compared to how badly it's performed about everywhere else. Friday's early numbers aren't bad. I'm expecting an opening weekend around ¥200/250 million at the moment, which would likely be enough to get it above the ¥1 billion ($10 million) mark if that opening happens.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, Cats is a very popular and well-known musical in Japan. I don't have any actual data to back this statement up, but I'd rank it among the Top 5 easily, and perhaps even in the Top 3 most popular/well-known (Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables would be the only sure musicals I'd rank ahead of it).

But the negative reception, dismal reviews, and terrible box-office results in the U.S. and elsewhere will have an impact despite its status. And while I believe the Japanese reception won't be nearly as toxic, I also don't believe it'll be particularly good due to the reliance on CG over costume and make-up which the musical is often associate with.

No problem. Stay active to see the Weekend Forecast here soon because the Saturday pre-sales for Cats are quite good. It might not deliver on its full potential, but it's going to open higher than I projected yesterday.

It may have saved its #1 market for last.

This is shaping up to be a better weekend than it seemed a few days ago.

>Cats is aiming to make Japan its #1 overseas market. The musical is very well-known in Japan--there's even a Cats-dedicated theatre that has put on over 11,000 shows since 1983--and its pre-sales are quite good. I don't see it opening below ¥250 million based on them, and think it could approach ¥300 million over the weekend frame. An opening on this scale would be on the mid-to-upper tier for live-action musicals. Musicals also tend to have good legs, so look for a total on the upper-range of ¥1.5-2.0 billion ($15-20 million) if this opening comes to pass.

>Parasite saw almost daily week-to-week increases heading into its third weekend, and its Saturday pre-sales are suggesting it may experience a weekend increase. As we've discussed here, this is almost certainly the highest grossing Korean film ever in the market (I need to check one more film to say with certainly). And I don't really see it slowing down much unless it's snubbed at the Academy Awards, so I believe we're looking at possible total over ¥2 billion ($20 million), and a lot more if it wins Best Picture.

>My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is receiving a 4DX expansion this weekend, so it'll likely rise back into the Top 10. It saw a Fri-to-Fri increase of over 150%, but the weekend increase will come in below that due to the early rush from the fanbase to see it ASAP to receive the limited giveaway at 4DX showings. It's incredibly difficult to predict increases in these cases, but I'm expecting something between 30-50%.

>I'm not going to talk about the remaining holdovers in the forecast this weekend. Most of them are looking to achieve good/great holds. But because I know I'll be asked about Frozen II, it's looking at one of the better holds this weekend, and a much, much needed drop. It's still too little, too late though, and passing Weathering With You is nigh impossible now. Still, it's increased its chances of it reaching the ¥13.5 billion ($124/125 million) milestone to jump over a couple more films on the all-time chart and settle in the #14 all-time position.

Japan should wait a little bit more before releasing Cats, it almost reach a cult classic status in western world.

Damn, Parasite just keeps finding new countries to break out in! :D How is it doing compared to other Korean films? Could it become one of the biggest ever in Japan?


I'm not finding any successful Korean films. When I say "successful", I just mean ones that earned above ¥1 billion (~$10 million) at the box-office. A film can still be successful if they fail to reach this milestone, ¥500 million is certainly good, especially for non-Hollywood imported releases like this one.

So, unless I'm missing one (and I do feel there's a glaring one I overlooked somewhere*), it seems likely to me that Parasite will become the biggest Korean film in Japan since it's going to easily gross over ¥1 billion ($10 million); it should be good for around ¥1.5 billion (almost $15 million) even without picking up any major wins at the Academy Awards.

It may have even been the #1 film at the box-office on Tuesday (and certainly #2). Of course, it's suppose to be playing strongly over the weekdays due to its largely adult-audience, but its weekday performance has been very impressive regardless.

*If there's a Korean film someone thinks (or knows) performed well internationally, particularly in Japan, please let me know so I can check on it.


How exciting! It's wild that the film premiered eight months ago now, has been available on torrent sites in high qualities for a while, and is still getting so many people to still check it out in theaters.

Japan remains a country where illegal downloads, torrents, bootlegs, basically piracy in general is almost non-existent. It's just not an option for most Japanese. This is another reason why releasing films in theaters in Japan many months later than everywhere else is perfectly fine and doesn't hurt its box-office potential either.

And Japan is very, very serious regarding copyright material, and they have very strict piracy laws, especially for those who get caught uploading copyright material. If one is caught downloading, they can receive 2-years in prison AND a ~$25,000 fine. If one is caught uploading, well, you will receive 10-years in prison and a ~$125,000 fine. And the public shame that comes from an arrest in Japanese culture would largely ruin someone's career (they'd never get hired, like...ever) and social life.

There are even more strict proposals going through the Government right now, some that are causing discussion on whether they violate an individual's privacy and violate the constitution. One of the first new proposals that I'm aware of is having ISPs monitor user activity (with permission) and alert users via a pop-up when they're about to enter a piracy site. Such measures are largely unnecessary given how little of a problem piracy actually is there, but copyright is a zero-tolerance issue in the country.

You'll probably notice that I always put the copyright info below any pictures I post here of the #1 film in the Weekend Forecast/Actuals, and it's because of this. Eagle used to get copyright infringement emails (warning that the site would be shut down if it continued), and I can almost guarantee they were because of the movie screenshots I once posted without the copyright info.

>Cats got off to a solid start in the market, selling 190,910 admissions over the weekend frame across a whopping 778 screens; it sold 259,876 admissions over its first three-days in release. This isn't an opening to be particularly impressed over, but it's honestly pretty good and ranks in the mid-tier for live-action musical debuts in the market. If the film hadn't suffered from a toxic reception, and abysmal box-office returns elsewhere, it would have likely opened about on par with some of the bigger musicals in the market. As it is, I'd expect a finish a bit above ¥1.5 billion ($15 million), meaning Japan could surpass the U.K. to become the films' #1 overseas market.

>Kaiji: Final Game delivered an excellent third weekend, selling an additional 139,000 admissions, bringing its 17-day admissions above 1 million. Thanks to this great hold, and solid weekday business, it could reach the ¥2 billion (~$20 million) milestone now. It'll need another strong hold, or two, but it could have certainly stalled out around ¥1.5 billion, so anything near ¥2 billion is very good.

>Frozen II has decided it wants to hold well late in its run, which is perfectly fine and welcomed, but these holds really would have helped a couple weeks ago... It sold an additional 129,000 admissions over its tenth-weekend of release. As said, this is another strong hold for Frozen, and it did exceed the 10 million milestone on Sunday, becoming just the 19th film to ever achieve this accomplishment. It also became the 19th highest grossing film. It looks to finish around ¥13.5 billion ($124/125 million), or slightly less.

>Parasite enjoyed an excellent third weekend increase, one that even allowed its third weekend to come in 18% above its opening weekend. Thanks to user peterfdt123, I looked up 2005's A Moment to Remember (Japanese name is like "Eraser in My Memory..."), a Korean film, and it grossed an incredible ¥3 billion, making it by far the biggest Korean film in Japan. In fact, it (and soon to be Parasite) is the only Korean film that I know of that has even grossed above ¥1 billion. It's going to be very hard for Parasite to beat that film, but it hasn't peaked yet and could continue to grow if it does well at the Academy Awards, so don't rule it out. At a minimum, we can expect a total of ¥2 billion ($20 million), but a ¥2.5-3.0 billion ($25-30 million) total is possible.

>Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker held fine again, but fine isn't cutting it and it's certain to finish below Star Wars: The Last Jedi now to become the lowest grossing Star Wars film since Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. It also broke 4.5 million admissions after 38-days in release, but will ultimately miss the 5 million admissions milestone. It's going to exceed ¥7 billion at least, and finish around ¥7.2/7.3 billion ($66/67 million); that's about 3% less than The Last Jedi.

>My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising experienced a huge sixth-weekend increase thanks to its 4DX expansion. It looked like the second film in the popular manga/anime series was going to gross less than the first film (¥1.72 billion), but it has a chance of outgrossing it now, or at least coming incredibly close to its total.
