There are some theaters have advance tickets available, but no showtimes up meaning there isn't a way to track them. It's still an entire month away from release afterall.

Presales in Japan are mostly a non-factor, though. Besides the Pokemon films that hold probably every advance ticket sales record (with nearly half of each films overall admissions come from advance tickets, and the 12th movie is actually in the Guinness Book of World Records for 'world record holder for the animation motion picture with the most advance ticket sales [2,384,198]'), I think Rookies is next on the list with 240,000 tickets sold due to popularity of the TV drama.

Very, very few films ever see any significant presales until the week of their release. And the ones that do generally have an incentive with an early ticket purchase (free manga volume, keychains or other merchandise, DVD/CD, etc.) that caters to an otaku crowd.

If anything regarding Frozen's ticket sales do become available, I'll be sure to post it.

I think a $30+ million total for Frozen is not unrealistic.

Yeah, $30 million (¥3 billion) is a reasonable target. Since it'll be released after a likely Best Animated Feature win at the Oscars (maybe Best Song, too), and if it resonates like it has with audience practically everywhere, I wouldn't rule out a ¥4 billion ($40 million) total. That could make it Walt Disney Animation's 2nd highest-grossing film after Dinosaur.

Walt Disney Studio's Top Grossing Films (1980-)

01. ¥4.90 billion ($40.2 million) - Dinosaur (2001)

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Ranking / Charts Updated
Distributor Toho reported their films [11] earned a staggering ¥9,134,558,670 ($89.3 million) in January, a new record for January, and up 181.5% over last year. The month was also greater than any month they had last year, July aside. Toho had a 34.6% market share in 2013, their 6th-consecutive year as the top distributor in Japan.

The huge month was largely boosted by The Eternal Zero's continued incredible performance, and other Toho films playing in January included: The Kiyosu Conference, Trick: The Last Stage, Hunter X Hunter: The Last Mission, The Liar and His Lover, Lupin III Vs. Detective Conan, SPEC: Close - Incarnation Part 1, SPEC: Close - Incarnation Part 2, The Tale of Princess Kaguya, The Kingdom of Madness and Dreams, and The Wind Rises.

No weekend or total figures were released this past weekend. It saw a huge decline in theaters, dropping to just 47 (it was playing in close to 300 last week I believe).

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Ranking / Charts Updated
More heavy snowfall is hitting Japan again today, so it looks like we're going to see a second muted weekend due to the weather. Many highways are still closed, and the railways that are still operating are doing so at reduced speeds. Morning and afternoon ticket sales are... abysmal again.

Thanks for the info, Corpse.

So, for 4 weekends, it was at 300 theaters? Then on Feb 8-9 it went to 47?

I wasn't checking it regularly enough to know if it maintained 300 theaters before seeing the sharp drop, but the large decline wasn't surprising since it wasn't doing much in so many theaters (350 is generally the max any film can reach) in its third weekend and with several openers in its fourth week.

Early Saturday Estimates (02/15)

¥126 million ($1.2 million), 0, The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji (Toho) NEW
¥70 million ($680,000), -18%, The Eternal Zero (Toho) Week 9
¥50 million ($480,000), -31%, I Want to Hold You (Toho) Week 3
¥48 million ($460,000), 0, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (Paramount) NEW
¥32 million ($300,000), 0, Lee Daniels' The Butler (Asmik Ace) NEW

¥25 million ($240,000), -41%, Rush (Gaga) Week 2
¥23 million ($220,000), -45%, The Wolf of Wall Street (Paramount) Week 3
¥18 million ($170,000), -45%, Thor: The Dark World (Disney) Week 3
¥16 million ($150,000), -29%, Trick: The Last Stage (Toho) Week 6
¥14 million ($130,000), -17%, The Little House (Shochiku) Week 4
¥8 million ($78,000), -89%, Tiger & Bunny: The Rising (Shochiku) Week 2
¥6 million ($58,000), -42%, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Vs. Go-Busters: The Great Dinosaur Battle! (Toei)

Ugly drops coming off last weekend's already massively deflated weekend. The weekend is disappointing again due to the crazy snow. Everything (Tiger & Bunny aside) would have been looking at very small decreases, remained flat, or even managed small increases on a normal post-disaster/storm weekend, but the snow hasn't let up yet.

A few notes about the weekend:

>The Eternal Zero has finally been dethroned after 8-consecutive weeks on top. Even with a significant shift on Sunday between it and The Mole Song, I don't think it can make up today's gap.

>This is the 21st-consecutive week that a Japanese film has topped the charts. The last imported film to do so was Despicable Me 2 back in September.

Weekend Estimates (02/15-16)

Image
[The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji]

01 (--) ¥260 million ($2.5 million), 0, The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji (Toho) DEBUT
02 (01) ¥142 million ($1.4 million), -17%, The Eternal Zero (Toho) Week 9
03 (--) ¥105 million ($1.0 million), 0, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (Paramount) NEW
04 (02) ¥100 million ($980,000), -31%, I Want to Hold You (Toho) Week 3
05 (--) ¥51 million ($500,000), 0, Lee Daniels' The Butler (Asmik Ace) NEW
06 (05) ¥44 million ($430,000), -46%, The Wolf of Wall Street (Paramount) Week 3
07 (04) ¥40 million ($380,000), -53%, Rush (Gaga) Week 2
08 (06) ¥32 million ($310,000), -50%, Thor: The Dark World (Disney) Week 3
09 (09) ¥32 million ($310,000), no change, The Little House (Shochiku) Week 4
10 (08) ¥31 million ($300,000), -29%, Trick: The Last Stage (Toho) Week 6
--¥17 million ($160,000), -17%, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Vs. Go-Busters: The Great Dinosaur Battle! (Toei) Week 5

>Good start for The Mole Song. February is one of the weakest months of the year, so any film that opens big enough that earning over ¥1 billion ($10 million) isn't any question is a good success. If the estimate is accurate, it should be aiming for ¥1.5 billion (~$15 million).

>The Eternal Zero finally falls out of the #1 spot, though still delivering an impressive 9th weekend gross. With the regular updates throughout the week, its total as of Sunday is expected to be near ¥7.6 billion (~$73 million).

>Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit looks to have gotten off to a decent enough start. It could have certainly opened below ¥100 million like many similar films have down over the past few years, especially with the snow still effecting much of the country, so the estimate being above the mark is good. A total over ¥500 million ($5 million) would be respectable.

>While there was a Saturday estimate for Tiger & Bunny: The Rising (last weekend's #3 film), there isn't a weekend estimate. It declined 47% at Toho Cinemas, but looking at the Saturday estimate from yesterday I'm guessing Toho Cinemas is where it's playing the strongest and don't expect it to hold that well.

>As usual, there is no weekend estimates for THE IDOLM@STER MOVIE due to its very limited release, but it did increase its admissions by 20% at Toho Cinemas over the weekend. If it doesn't see a weekend increase, the drop should be small enough to rank 5th/6th for the weekend.

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Estimates [02/15-16]
It was released yesterday that Japanese animator, Miyuki Kanno Long, was lead animator for the main character, "Anna", in Disney's Frozen.

Miyuki signed with Disney Animation in 2008, and previously worked as an animator/animator assistant on Disney's Princess and the Frog, Tangled, and Wreck-It Ralph.

She landed the lead animator position for "Anna" after submitting a video of Anna singing while sitting on a swing, an idea she got while taking her son to the park. The directors enjoyed the footage, but wanted to see Anna in a standing uplifting environment. So Miyuki drew further inspiration from watching people at the park she takes her young song, studying the physical movements of the children running around and playing (a lot of this research was used on the "For the First Time in Forever" sequence).

http://www.cinematoday.jp/page/N0060588

This is wonderful news. It will help garner the film credibility it may (or may not) have lost with some Japanese who have been claiming it's more "Hollywood plagiarism", noting it's almost nothing like Hans Christian Anderson's book and more like an older Japanese manga or anime (that I've forgotten the name of ^_^) that features two sisters that bear some resemblance to Anna and Elsa, who also rule over a Kingdom with the older sister having magical powers over ice.

I don't believe those accusations will hurt the film in any way when it's released next month given its critical and box-office success everywhere, but they're not to be taken lightly. Films that share similarities to those already existing in Japan without taking credit, even if they're not true, generally disappoint/bomb and are regarded as rip-offs ("The Hunger Games" franchise is a recent example).

While reading the last paragraph I was also instantly reminded of The Hunger Games but perhaps the news might give the movie some boost. I do remember reading somewhere that this was very similar to a Japanese Manga (I also forgot the name cause it was in Japanese :P)

Weekend Ranking [02/15-16]

01 (--) The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji (Toho) DEBUT
02 (01) The Eternal Zero (Toho) Week 9
03 (--) Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (Paramount) DEBUT
04 (02) I Want to Hold You (Toho) Week 3
05 (03) Tiger & Bunny: The Rising (Shochiku) Week 2
06 (04) Rush (Gaga) Week 2
07 (05) The Wolf of Wall Street (Paramount) Week 3
08 (07) THE IDOLM@STER MOVIE (Aniplex) Week 4
09 (--) Lee Daniels' The Butler (Asmik Ace) DEBUT
10 (06) Thor: The Dark World (Disney) Week 3

>The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji was the film that finally bumped The Eternal Zero out of first place. The film saw an impressive debut of ¥282,207,700 ($2.8 million) with 209,935 admissions on 293 screens. Had the snow let up over the weekend, it probably would have broke the ¥300 million mark. Either way, good debut in February and it should end up near ¥2 billion (~$20 million).

>The Eternal Zero has to finally settle for a 2nd place finish after 8-consecutive weeks in 1st place. It only dropped 18% over the weekend, however, and brought its 58 day total over ¥7.5 billion ($73 million) with 6.13 million admissions. And it is still on track to become the highest-grossing, non-Bayside Shakedown, domestic live-action film in nearly 30 years.

>Jack Ryan: Shadow Recuit got off to a respectable start opening on 333 screens. The film earned ¥112,957,200 ($1.1 million) with 92,752 admissions during the weekend frame. Not bad, it'll definitely exceed ¥500 million (~$5 million), and aim for ¥600-700 million (~$6-7 million).

>Lee Daniels' The Butler only debuted in 9th place on 114 screens, and brought in ¥41,905,500 ($410,000) with 35,148 admissions. Certainly a lackluster debut, though it could have been worse.

Weekend Forecast [02/22-23]

Image

01 (01) ¥200 million ($1.9 million), The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji (Toho) Week 2
02 (--) ¥160 million ($1.5 million), Kamen Teacher: The Movie (Showgate) NEW
03 (02) ¥120 million ($1.1 million), The Eternal Zero (Toho) Week 10
04 (03) ¥80 million ($790,000), Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (Paramount) Week 2
05 (04) ¥75 million ($740,000), I Want to Hold You (Toho) Week 4
06 (--) ¥60 million ($590,000), Kick Ass 2 (Toho-Towa) NEW
07 (06) ¥45 million ($440,000), THE IDOLM@STER MOVIE (Aniplex) Week 5
08 (07) ¥40 million ($390,000), Rush (Gaga) Week 3
09 (08) ¥40 million ($380,000), The Wolf of Wall Street (Paramount) Week 4
10 (05) ¥35 million ($350,000), Tiger & Bunny: The Rising (Shochiku) Week 3

Kamen Teacher is tricky to gauge. TV ratings were very mediocre, and it's being released by Showgate (independent distributor) so it's only playing in 140 theaters. But there seems to be enough fan interest that it may see a decent debut.

Kick Ass 2 is also really hard to gauge. The original was only released in a handful of theaters (vs. 214 this time around), but if online movie sites are anything to go by, it gained fans on video release because the sequel is pretty high in searches. Any film with Chloe Moretz in it, however, has high search results (pervs) and none of her films have ever performed well.

The box-office is beginning to hit a very dry patch, the bottom half of the Top 10 especially, as it usually does right before upcoming Holiday frames. Bring on March and Spring Break with its many notable releases.

The first Thor grossed ~¥550 million ($6.8 million), and the sequel will surpass that mark this weekend if it didn't during the weekdays. The past two weeks Japan has been hammered by record snowfall, so everything has slowed down considerably due to the weather.

It should finish with ~¥700-750 million ($7-7.5 million) for a ~30% increase over the original.

Saturday Estimates (02/22)

¥111 million ($1.1 million), -21%, The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji (Toho) Week 2
¥66 million ($650,000), -6%, The Eternal Zero (Toho) Week 10
¥65 million ($640,000), 0, Kamen Teacher: The Movie (Showgate) NEW
¥53 million ($520,000), 0, Kick Ass 2 (Toho-Towa) NEW

¥45 million ($440,000), +43%, Tiger & Bunny: The Rising (Shochiku) Week 3
¥41 million ($400,000), -13%, I Want to Hold You (Toho) Week 4
¥39 million ($380,000), +157%, The Little House (Shochiku) Week 5
¥31 million ($300,000), -45%, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (Paramount) Week 2
¥23 million ($220,000), +10%, Lee Daniels' The Butler (Asmik Ace) Week 2
¥22 million ($210,000), -22%, Rush (Gaga) Week 3
¥16 million ($155,000), -43%, The Wolf of Wall Street (Paramount) Week 4


Now that the crazy snowfall has gone away, seniors are coming out of their homes in full force this weekend. The Little House, with 77% of its audience over 50, was seeing dreadful numbers over the past couple weeks due to the snow, but its looking to explode this weekend now that its gone.

About as expected for Kamen Teacher it seems.

Quite good for Kick Ass 2, already outgrossing the original in a single day. Not that its a fair comparison though considering the first film didn't even see 10 theaters.
