 Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Summary Quote: TOKYO (TR) – Japan is looking to enjoy its best year ever at the box office, according to figures compiled by the Nikkei newspaper.
Boosted by the popularity of 3D pics, including the local smash “Umizaru 3: The Last Message,” distrib Toho’s latest installment in the action series featuring the Japan Coast Guard, total box office receipts for 2010 may pass the 220 billion yen ($2.63 billion) mark. This would beat the all-time (non-inflation-adjusted) record set 2004 — 210.9 billion yen ($2.52 billion).
Boosted by the premium for 3D tickets, three Hollywood 3D pics surpassed the 10 billion yen ($120 million) milestone: “Avatar,” “Alice In Wonderland” and “Toy Story 3.”
From January to October, box office takings totaled $2.14 billion for a 13 percent gain over the same period last year. Also, 57 pics earned more than 1 billion yen ($12 million), long considered the mark of a hit in the Japanese market, as of Nov. 28. This compares with 46 last year. This is also the second straight year that the BO has registered year-on gains.http://www.tokyoreporter.com/2010/12/08 ... d-in-2010/ The goal I personally set in the summer for 2010 was $2.5 billion. With Hollywood rebounding with 3D releases (although 2D films still suffered greatly), and Japanese films continuing to see nice increases each year, it seemed inevitable that 2010 would set a new record.  2008 totaled: 194.84 billion yen ($2.1 billion). 2009 totaled: 206.04 billion yen ($2.28 billion). Statistics for 2000-2007 can be found in the image below, but no USD figures are available. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.”

“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”
“You have to pretend you get an endgame. You have to carry on like you will; otherwise, you can't carry on at all.”

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); 2010 BO to set new record - $2. Weekend Forecast
December 11-12, 2010
 
1. Space Battleship Yamato (Toho) 2
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part I) (Warner Bros.) 4
3. Norwegian Wood (Toho) NEW
4. Robin Hood (Toho-Towa) NEW
5. Bleach: Hell Arc (Toho) 2
6. Abacus and Sword (Asmik Ace) 2
7. SP: The Motion Picture (Toho) 7
8. Kiss & Kill (GAGA) 2
9. Ghost: In Your Arms Again (Paramount/Shochiku) 5
10. Despicable Me (Toho-Towa) 7Norwegian Wood is based on a very popular book that sold over 11 million copies in Japan, and over 15 million worldwide. The film adaptation was nominated for the Golden Lion at Venice this year, and stars Kenichi Matsuyama ("L" in the Death Note films, Detroit Metal City) and Rinko Kikuchi (Babel, Brothers Bloom, etc.). It is also to be distributed in no less than 50 countries and territories. International releases are becoming quite popular lately, with Umizaru 3 and Space Battleship Yamato receiving the same (but smaller scale) treatment by Toho. Also, there haven't been any updates regarding Space Battleship Yamato this week, except for it being reported to have exceeded 900,000 admissions on Tuesday. So it added approx. 110,000 admissions on Monday and Tuesday. It's difficult to figure out the film's average ticket price due to one of it's days in release being a discount day, but it should have grossed around Y1.1 billion ($13.2 million) as of this past Tuesday.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Forecast Robin Hood and Shrek 4 (opening next weekend) both received very late releases in Japan.
Robin Hood opened on Friday. It should open close to $2 million for the 2-day, perhaps $2.5 million for the 3-day. With New Year, that may be good enough for it to achieve $10 million or a little more.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Forecast After 10 days in release, as of Friday, Space Battleship Yamato has grossed Y1.4 billion ($17 million) on 1.1 million admissions.
It should gross Y350/400 million this weekend, for a two week total of approx. Y1.75/1.8 billion ($21/22 million).

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Forecast Saturday Admission drops for the Top 5 (excluding openers) from the usual locations compared to last Saturday:
Space Battleship Yamato (-32%)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (-16%)
Bleach: Hell Arc (-72%) - bye bye shot at a Y1b total.
Abacus and Sword (-27%)
SP: The Motion Picture (-26%)
Those drops would, if they remain similar on Sunday too, put Yamato and Harry Potter in a very close race to the top this weekend with Y375/400 million ($4.5 million or so).
As for the two wide openers,
Robin Hood sold 60% of The Expendables Saturday (both opened early on Friday), while Norwegian Wood sold 25% more than Ghost: In Your Arms its first day.
Norwegian Wood would gross about Y150-175 million (close to $2 million) this weekend if it keeps that up.
Robin Hood looks to be disappointing some. If that 60% remains for Sunday as well, then it won't be grossing much more than Y100 million ($1.2 million) this weekend. And probably about $1.5 million for the 3-day with it's early Friday opening.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Rankings Wow that is a hefty drop for Bleach. And to think that the last 2 episodes were dedicated only marketing the new movie, that is pathetic.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Rankings It's because of everything that was promoting it opening weekend. Manga chapter dedicated to it, episode leading up to it, 10 year anniversary, etc. It had the biggest opening of the four films, but doesn't look to really gross more than the other in the end.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Rankings I don't have time to update with the weekend Top 10 in gross and admissions, but Harry Potter regains the Top spot in admissions, while narrowly placing second in gross behind Yamato.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Rankings Harry Potter Week 4 Comparison:
Prisoner of Azkaban - Y733,482,108 / Y7,114,720,320 (finished with Y13.5 billion)
Goblet of Fire - Y556,021,958 / Y5,913,764,996 (finished with Y11.5 billion)
Order of the Phoenix - Y442,846,563 / Y6,311,320,494 (finished with Y9.4 billion)
Half-Blood Prince - Y329,663,104 / Y5,592,694,442 (finished with Y8.0 billion)
Deathly Hallows (Part I) - Y381,000,000 / Y4,400,000,000 *
*estimate.
The good news is that Deathly Hallows had a slightly bigger 4th weekend than Half-Blood Prince, but it's nearly Y1.2 billion behind in total after four weeks.
Even with New Year though (the other Potter films have yet to hit their holiday weeks at this point too, though), there's just no way Deathly Hallows can reach Half-Blood Prince's Y8.0 billion total. It looks like DH is going to finish around Y7 billion.
If DH2 is in 3D, that will finally stop the downward spiral.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Rankings No actual has been given yet, but it has been confirmed that the Japanese Box Office did indeed top Y220 billion (about $2.63 billion) in 2010, setting a new record. No.1 distributor was Toho once again this year, earning Y68.7 billion (about $818 million) for about 1/3 of the total box office revenue. Their top films were: The Borrower Arrietty - Y9.3 billion ($114.5 million), Umizaru 3 - Y8.0 billion ($100 million), and Bayside Shakedown 3 - Y7.3 billion ($88.3 million). In 2008, the Japanese Box Office earned Y194.84 billion yen ($2.1 billion), with Toho on top with Y65.5 billion ($724.3 million). Toho's top films were: Ponyo - Y15.5 billion ($172.15 million), Boys Over Flowers - Y7.75 billion ($86.07 million), and Suspect X - Y4.92 billion ($54.64 million). In 2009, the Japanese Box Office earned Y206.04 billion yen ($2.28 billion), with Toho on top with Y73.91 billion ($820.8 million). Toho's top films were: Rookies - Y8.55 billion ($94.55 million), Pokemon 12 - Y4.67 billion ($51.64 million), and 20th Century Boys 3 - Y4.41 billion ($48.77 million). http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/5210814/When full actual numbers are released in late Janurary, I will update the second post of this thread that includes previous years actuals and such. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Rankings Weekend Forecast
December 18-19, 2010
1. Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core (TOEI) NEW
2. TRON: Legacy (Disney) NEW
3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I (Warner Bros.) 5
4. Space Battleship Yamato (Toho) 3
5. Shrek Forever After (Paramount) NEW
6. Last Chushingura (Warner Bros.) NEW
7. Norwegian Wood (Toho) 2
8. Burlesque (Sony) NEW
9. Abacus and Sword (Asmik Ace) 3
10. Robin Hood (Toho-Towa) 2Posting the Forecast early this week because it's so difficult, it doesn't really matter.  The Top 2 are certain, though which comes out on top is not. Kamen Rider, the 44th theatrical release (the first was released in 1971) in the series, has the top spot in admissions locked up, but with 3D prices for TRON, it may end up second in gross. However, with TRON opening on a Friday, I believe that gives the latest Kamen Rider film the slight edge in gross. It also helps that the Kamen Rider series is the most frontloaded of any films in Japan. Don't mind if Tron does rank 2nd this weekend though. It's opening on Friday, with 3D, and much better legs than Kamen Rider can hope to get, it's still going to be a sizable hit. Harry Potter and Yamato are most likely going to finish above Shrek and Chushingura, but the latter two could end up surprising. The rest of the Top 10 pretty much becomes pure guess work this week. Norwegian Wood beating Abacus and Sword, and Robin Hood is the only sure thing.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Forecast (early) TOKYO – Distributor Toho’s line-up for 2011 includes a new work from animation hit-factory Studio Ghibli and a raft of sequels and serial releases.
Hayao Miyazaki’s son Goro will take charge of Kokurikozaka Kara (literally – From Kokuriko Hill), his second feature following 2006’s Tales from Earthsea, which grossed over $60 million on its way to being the biggest domestic film of the year.
Miyazaki senior is credited for writing and planning for Kokurikozaka Kara, which is due to be released in summer 2011. The movie is based on a 1980 manga series set in the 1960s about a high school girl who has to grow up fast after her father goes missing.
This year’s Ghibli production, also written by Miyazaki senior and Niwa Keiko, but directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, The Borrower Arrietty, pulled in over $110 million at the summer box office.
Also in the Toho pipeline are sequels to two TV net-backed hits Amulfi (Fuji TV), which grossed over $37.5 million last year (2009), and Kaiji (NTV), which took almost $25 million.
On top of these are the usual string of releases from animation serials such as Pocket Monsters, Doraemon and Crayon Shinchan.And to add to the Ghibli news, Suzuki (chief producer, and president) had previously revealed "The Five-Year Plan for the Management of Studio Ghibli" at the end of last year, after Miyazaki presented part of the plan to the Ghibli production staff in November of that year. The first three years are devoted to works by young creators, while the last two years will be devoted to the production of "epics."
The first work was this year's Karigurashi no Arrietty from first-time director Hiromasa Yonebayashi. The second work is Kokuriko-Zaka Kara, with which Suzuki says that Goro Miyazaki will demonstrate his "true worth" since his first film involved "beginner's luck."
Suzuki did not specifically say if there will be a third work by a young creator next year, nor how many "epics" will be made in the last two years of the five-year plan. Suzuki did say that Kokuriko-Zaka Kara is in the final stage of storyboarding.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Toho/Studio Ghibli news bunkatsushin.com (Culture and Communications Bulletin) released the Top 10 Grossings local and foreign films this past week, and here are their results. [JAPANESE FILMS]1. The Borrower Arrietty (Toho) - Y9.25 billion 2. Umizaru 3: The Last Message (Toho) - Y8.02 billion* 3. Bayside Shakedown 3: Set the Guys Loose! (Toho) - Y7.31 billion 4. One Piece Film (Movie 10): Strong World (TOEI) - Y4.8 billion 5. Pokemon (Movie 13) Diamond & Pearl: Phantom Champion - Zoroark (Toho) - Y4.16 billion 6. Nodame Cantabile: The Final Score Part I (Toho) - Y4.1 billion 7. Confessions (Toho) - Y3.85 billion 8. Nodame Cantabile: The Final Score Part II (Toho) - Y3.72 billion 9. SP: The Motion Picture (Toho) - Y3.6 billion* 10. Detective Conan (Movie 14): Lost Ship in the Sky (Toho) - Y3.2 billion Toho monopolized the Top 10 this year, taking 9 of the 10 spots. TV Drama and Manga/Anime adaptations dominated once again, with The Borrower Arrietty and Confessions being the only exceptions. *Listed as projected estimate.[IMPORTED FILMS]1. Avatar (Fox) - Y15.6 billion 2. Alice in Wonderland (Disney) - Y11.85 billion 3. Toy Story 3 (Disney) - Y10.7 billion 4. Up (Disney) - Y5.0 billion 5. Resident Evil IV: Afterlife (Sony) - Y4.7 billion 6. 2012 (Sony) - Y3.8 billion 7. Inception (Warner Bros.) - Y3.5 billion 8. Oceans (GAGA) - Y2.43 billion 9. Knight & Day (Fox) - Y2.33 billion 10. Sherlock Holmes (Warner Bros.) - Y2.15 billion Disney had their best year ever at the box office in 2010. 3D films definitely ruled among foreign releases, taking the Top 5 positions and leaving the rest of the Top 10 well behind. Surprisingly, 2012 made the 2010 release cut, while Harry Potter wasn't listed, not even as a projected estimate. So I'm assuming it's going to be counted as a 2011 release. Something similar happened with Goblet of Fire, the last November released Potter film, when it was included on the 2006 charts. Most were the same figures I've been posting weekly on my charts, but I will edit accordingly with next week's update. You can also check the second post on Page 1 of this thread to see how 2010 compared to previous years.

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Forecast Things aren't looking too well for Tron based on tickets sold before the first showing on Saturday at the usual locations. Shrek was even ahead before the first showings today.
Tron has only sold 11% of Harry Potter's first Saturday.
Shrek 4 at 13% of Harry Potter's first Saturday.
Latest Kamen Rider up 88% over Kamen Rider Episode Blue's first Saturday, and will take the top spot this weekend uncontested now.
My revised Top 5 (6-10 are still guess work) this weekend would be:
1. Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core (TOEI) NEW
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I (Warner Bros.) 5
3. Space Battleship Yamato (Toho) 3
4. TRON: Legacy (Disney) NEW
5. Shrek Forever After (Paramount) NEW

Re: Japan Box Office (2011); Weekend Forecast You are expecting Tron to win the weekend over Shrek even though it is behind on Saturday? I am assuming both are in 3D, though not sure about the IMAX distribution there...
