Broly pre-sales for the weekend are down 65%.

Conan pre-sales on its second weekend were down 57,7% and it ended up falling 37% with actuals. A similar multiplier would have Broly falling 41-42% which would lead to a 470-480 million yen weekend. If it doesn't drop proportionnally but also falls 20% points less than pre-sales, that would mean a 45% drop for a 440-450 million yen weekend.

Resurrection F fell 51,6% in its 2nd weekend. BOG fell 37,7%.

So it was a 1.57 for Saturday and Sunday but for Monday to Wednesday it was at 96,000 for its usual locations but did 187,000 admissions so that would be 1.95.

Why is it that different? So for this upcoming weekend would we have to use the 1.57 again to get an estimate or could it be yet another number again?


A few less theaters are accounted for on the weekdays, so the multiplier is generally higher. Over the weekend, it usually stays pretty consistent, but various factors can affect it (such as losing IMAX or a shift in showings).

A drop between the last two films, probably closer to Resurrection F than Battle of Gods, seems like a good prediction right now.

I'll have the Weekend Forecast posted a bit later this evening.

I'd hope for a better drop than Resurrection F because that did open on a Saturday.

Resurrection F's second weekend was ¥466 million. Not sure if Broly can beat that.

Note: Sunday is Emperor's Day, a national holiday, and since it falls on a Sunday this year, then Monday will be declared a national holiday as well.

>Ralph Breaks the Internet appears positioned to debut atop the box office, but it's not going to do so very easily. Its Saturday pre-sales are slightly below Coco and just slightly better than The Incredibles 2, so it could certainly miss the ¥500 million mark considering both of those films also did. However, I'm expecting a strong Sunday for all films since Monday will be a national holiday this year, so I'm going to predict it just barely gets there.

>Dragon Ball Super: Broly will probably slip to second place after its big opening weekend, but Saturday pre-sales suggest it could managed a better second weekend hold than its predecessor, and decline under 50%. This would be particularly important for the film as it heads into the upcoming holidays with the hope of becoming the highest grossing film in the franchise.

>Bohemian Rhapsody at long last seems like it could be slowing down, but definitely not very much, and it'll probably increase next week.

>Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER, the entry in the overall franchise, could debut as high as third place this weekend. The franchise has seen a slight uptick in the past year or two, and this one is tracking a little ahead of last December's release (which opened to ¥359 million).

>A Star is Born may miss the Top 5, or fifth place is as high as it's going to debut. But don't be alarmed. While its Friday results and Saturday pre-sales don't suggest a breakout, a debut around the forecast this time of year would still likely result in a ¥2 billion+ ($20 million) total. Is it possible that Bohemian Rhapsody stunted its potential? Maybe, but I wouldn't have predicted much higher regardless.

>Nisekoi: False Love is going to bomb. Toho was by far the biggest distributor of the year once again, their eleventh or twelfth consecutive year on top, but they've had an incredibly dismal Fall/Winter season.

The Yôkai Watch franchise collapse is pretty staggering. This film could make less than the first movie did in its opening weekend just 4 years ago. Looks like Toho will have to go back to the drawing board to find their 4th yearly money-making movie franchise for the New-Year period.

Is it just me, or do all the drops seem a bit high given the holiday Sunday?

Only $1.825 billion with a $447 million weekend?

That would mean ¥1.378 billion by Friday and it was said to have been over ¥1.3 billion after 6 days which should be Wednesday.

I'd have thought it would have been over ¥1.4 billion with Thursday and Friday.

As of 7pm it seems Broly has sold about 45% of the tickets that it had sold by last Saturday at the same time.

Is that good or bad? I imagine the percentage will go up over the weekend more but if it were to hold that'd be a 55% drop.

It should fall much less tomorrow since Sunday (and thus Monday) is a national holiday. That means it will stay strong in the evening.

Well by 12am it still did about 45% of last Saturday.

It's gonna have to do much better tomorrow if it's gonna do that ¥447 million.

It should be about ¥174 million today so it'd need about ¥274 million tomorrow.

That'd be about 64% of last Sunday. That seems too big of a jump if today only did 45%. Resurrection F's second Sunday only increased about 23% from its second Saturday.

It only needs to increase about 30% to make over 400 million yen over the weekend. ¥447 million does seem like a bit of stretch unless it has a huge jump and benefits massively from strong evenings, but it should still have a better second weekend drop than Resurrection F.

I can't remember if the Monday after Resurrection F's second Sunday was a Golden Week day or not. If it wasn't then it might do better than its 23% increase.

Anything over $394 million for the weekend would give it a better drop than Resurrection F but that should be expected anyway if Resurrection F actually opened on a Saturday.

It's Sunday is 46.2% of last Sunday at the same time.

It's also 53% higher than yesterday at the same time.

So far still can't see it doing ¥400 million. About ¥370 million at this point.

It finished with 53% of last Sunday. For the whole weekend it did 200,000 to last weekends 407,000 so 49%.

So if the ticket price was the same as last weekend then it will make ¥400 million.

So putting that in Google means ¥411 million for the weekend and ¥1.832 billion total.

Looks pretty accurate, but you can't exactly plug cumulative totals into an exchange rate converter because of how rates change on a daily/weekly basis. This is how BOM and other non-local sources have many messed up USD totals on their sites.

Since no actuals will be released for a day or two, due to Emperor's Day making Monday a national holiday, I'll have the normal weekend estimates up soon, as well as an extended 3-day estimates for the holiday weekend.

>Ralph Breaks the Internet opens about on par with Coco and The Incredibles 2. It'll have strong legs, but I'm doubtful that it'll match the excellent legs of either Pixar releases this year. I'm expecting a finish around ¥4 billion ($35 million) rather than ¥4.8/4.9 billion. This would be a nice 30-35% increase over the original film, but this would also become Walt Disney Animation's fourth-consecutive decrease in the market (Frozen > Big Hero 6 > Zootopia > Moana > Ralph 2).

>Dragon Ball Super: Broly fell a little higher than expected going into the weekend, but it still held slightly better than its predecessor. A total around ¥3.5 billion ($30 million) is still the likely target, but let's see if the upcoming New Year boost can give it enough of a boost to outgross Resurrection's F's ¥3.74 billion to become the highest grossing film in the franchise.

>Bohemian Rhapsody declines for a second week, but... it experienced a single digit drop, and thanks to Monday, it's probably up for the overall week. It's showing some hints, not signs yet, of slowing down (its seventh weekend is still bigger than its opening, second, and third weekends!), but it's still difficult to project where the film is headed. A total around ¥10 billion ($90 million) seems attainable, and I'll be close to declaring it a lock if it has one more week like this.

>Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER came in above the previous two films this past year, and was up a bit over last December's release as well. Very impressive, and even though the franchise is one of the most frontloaded, it'll exceed ¥1 billion pretty easily once again. This release marks the 61st theatrical release in the long-running series.

>A Star is Born got off to a rather slow start. It'll have great legs due to the time of year and given its genre, but ¥2 billion (a bit under $20 million) is probably the ceiling. I feel like this film would have benefited more with a March/April release, the typical season that Oscar films are released in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if it simply being an award contender instead of a winner right now will ultimately limit it.

If this is at ¥2 billion, then it took 11 days to do so. It took Resurrection F 12 days to reach that. Meaning it's still Infront.

So you're thinking that this will fall off quicker? That Resurrection F is going to benefit more from Golden Week than this movie from the Xmas Holidays?

Not necessarily. But usually, holidays periods don't offer much of a boost for fanbase driven films, and the Dragon Ball series is one of them. So I just figure Golden Week and New Year will more or less provide a similar benefit.

This would be a nice 30-35% increase over the original film, but this would also become Walt Disney Animation's fourth-consecutive decrease in the market (Frozen > Big Hero 6 > Zootopia > Moana > Ralph 2).


It's a good thing they have Frozen 2 coming out next. I wonder how high that can go. I'm guessing ¥10 billion is locked?

There's not really much to compare it to, so it's a definitely wait and see situation.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the only sequel to a predecessor that earned ¥20 billion+ (even ¥15 billion+), unsurprisingly given how rare that milestone is to achieve (only 5 films on that list), but I don't think it's a good example whatsoever. For what it's worth, it dropped 15%.

Other than that, the only other "examples" are films released by Miyazaki or Cameron that followed their ¥20 billion+ films.

Princess Mononoke made close to ¥20 billion, so if we use that, Spirited Away experienced a 57.5% increase...but, I don't think we can draw any comparison here for many reasons. Howl's Moving Castle followed and dropped 35%, which is probably(?) a better example. And then you had Avatar follow Titanic, and it dropped 40%. Following such massive phenomena has proved to equal in huge results at the box office, but it's incredibly difficult to replicate the same level of success. Again, there's not really any film that has done so.

Frozen 2 is in the same situation as Weathering With You (Shinkai's next film) next year, both following two of the Top 4 films of all-time. Both films will no doubt be the most interesting to watch next year.

That's correct.

About a third of weekend figures are available now, so I should have the weekend actuals up this evening. The weekend estimates were quite close on everything so far.
