![Post Post](./styles/serene/imageset/icon_topic_latest.gif) Re: Japan Box Office: Fastest to 10 Million Admissions
Fastest Films to 10 Million Admissions:16 Days - Demon Slayer: Mugen Train (2020) _____ 31 Days - Spirited Away (2001) 35 Days - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) 38 Days - One Piece Film Red (2022) 39 Days - Your Name. (2016) 40 Days - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) _____ 41 Days - Ponyo (2008) 44 Days - Howl's Moving Castle (2004) 47 Days - Frozen (2014) 48 Days - Bayside Shakedown: Save the Rainbow Bridge! (2003) _____ 66 Days - Frozen II (2019) 66 Days - Princess Mononoke (1997) 67 Days - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) 71 Days - The Last Samurai (2003) 75 Days - Weathering With You (2019) 84-85 Days - Suzume (2022) _____ 108 Days - Titanic (1997) 157 Days - Avatar (2009)I have Suzume at ~9.981 million admissions as of Wednesday, Day 83, so it'll either hit 10 million tomorrow (84th day) or certainly on Friday (85th day). We probably won't get an announcement if it happens just ahead of the weekend, rather most likely in the weekend report, but if anyone does see an announcement by Saturday, please share! ![Thumbs Up :thumbsup:](./images/smilies/thumbsup.gif) It's catching up pretty fast to Weathering With You, and will probably sell more admissions (and possibly outgross) than it. Its avg. ticket price is a little lower than Weathering though, so outgrossing it will be a bit harder than surpassing its admissions.

Just to restate to those wondering, since the weekend is here... There is a new Demon Slayer "movie" opening this weekend, but it's not really a movie. It's a recap special of the final 2 episodes from Season 2 of the anime from a year ago, as well as the first episode of the upcoming Season 3 which debuts proper in April. This "movie" is being given an 8-week theatrical run. It's pretty common for studios to do this with other anime, release recap specials of past episodes and/or the first episode of a new season in theaters, but they're very limited, usually only playing in select theaters in Tokyo and Osaka. This Demon Slayer version of this is being given the full theatrical treatment, however, premium formats included. There's no precedent for it, and comparing to the much more limited releases similar to it doesn't work, nor does comparing it to actual feature-length films. It's somewhere in the middle of the two. ¥700/800 million would be an absurd opening for something like this, by the way. On the other hand, they'll probably be people going "that's it?" So... have fun trying to decide how "good" its opening and eventual total is going to be. ![Funny :funny:](./images/smilies/funy.gif)

Peeps will definitely talk about underperformance which will make no sense but can't really stop them. I'm sure a lot of them will have read your post and know it's not really underperformance, but whatever gets the clicks. The conan recap films are probably the closest thing since they atleast go decently wide, have some new stuff and probably the highest grossing of this kind of films, but even then they will probably be too low to serve as much of a comparison for this one. As has been the case quite often as of late for DS, it will be very much its own thing. I'm going very much "on the nose" on 700/800, PS looks fine but not really exceptional (but this is in the context of an expected big opener, obviously), but then I have to try to take into consideration that sat/sun have stage greetings which are super strong. Am pretty confident on over 500M, but don't think it has enough appeal for over 1b on this format from what I've seen (unless final day and/or walkups end up really good, but they shouldn't really be with this kind of film).

Let's say it doubles up from there, which it should be able to do on a Friday since morning/afternoon shows are often the weakest of any day of the week.
So, ~100,000 at the usuals. It should skew in favor of urban locations due to the premium formats, so I'd predict around ~175,000-180,000 nationwide. Using a rough ¥1400 average ticket price, that'll give it around ¥250 million for the day. That's good, still important to note Friday = weekday.
It has stage greetings over the weekend itself, and assuming it still appeals to children/families, it should see a significant bump on Saturday and/or Sunday too.
There's a path to ¥1 billion for the 3-day if it does ~¥350/400 million on both Sat. and Sun., which seems somewhat reasonable if it does ~¥250 million on Friday. Definitely need to see what sort of appeal this is having with casual moviegoers though. If it's primarily appealing to the core fanbase, the Sat./Sun. bumps could be less than expected.

The interest over Twitter seems rather limited so it's probably just attracting the core fan base, not sure how that will translate to the Box Office but I don't see a billion in reach

eigarankingnews estimates ¥320 Million on the first day for Demon Slayer recap film.Quote: "World Tour Screening ' #鬼滅の刃 ' First Quarter Gathering, and Towards the Swordsmith's Village" debuted at the top of the box office with 320 million yen on the first day! This is an unusual number for an anime event screening, and the first day's results are by far the best for this year's provisional No. 1 hit start! Weekend stage greeting LV continues to be full, and its popularity is undiminished! ? #鬼滅興収速報

very nice evening shows, should be ~280M fri.
Sat looks strong to me even without the stage meeting shows. sun on the other hand a bit weak without them. But it is the weekend I guess so should pickup some extra walkups I guess, though I wonder how many walkups this kind of thing can really have.
am thinking 280+380-400+280 or so, ~940-960M 3days. Would be fantastic if it hit 1b, though not going to be disappointed even if it falls short of my expectations. Excellent.

Excellent. ¥280 million or so is also what I'm going with. I can see it going up around ¥300 million if it played strongly on IMAX, which does seem to be the case, but I don't like overpredicting. ¥320 million also isn't out of the question, Chaplainfan, though it'd require strong rural sales which I'd lean against having happened. But we'll see! Whether or not it hits ¥1 billion isn't especially important since, if it misses, it's going to be pretty close. And ¥900 million, while not as fancy as ¥1 billion, is honestly equally as impressive here.

Rural locs definitely not impressive off the few I checked so I think this definitely skews more mimorin-heavy than usual
and yeah pretty much agreed, 900M OW with a "film" that is half 1 year old episodes and half episodes that will air for free on tv and go on streaming in 2 months is quite a flex of the strength of its fanbase

February is one of the weakest months of the year (only ahead of October and June on average), so not many notable films open in the month. Only four films have ever opened above ¥500 million in the month, of which, the last being way back in 2008!
Looks like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - To the Swordsmith Village will likely take the #3 spot, being the first "film" to crack the Top 3 OWs of February in nearly 20 years.

As a result of losing its premium screens to Demon Slayer thing Avatar 2 is having a big drop in gross on Friday around 60 to 70% and will be behind NWH.

Seems right on my range on sat, very nice. If sunday holds better than I think and/or atp comes higher 1b OW is possible, but thinking it will fall just short. Either way, quite incredible. Going to give aniplex their 2nd best OW ever on a film that isn't even a film lol.

Since the that episode in appearing in two months and this will be an 8 week run it will be frontloaded I guess.

Probably.
This opening is showing that a lot of the fanbase is still here. It's not going to be possible to get anywhere near the audience the franchise / first film had back in 2020/2021, that broke all precedent for a brand and film, but it can obviously still thrive by relying on its core fanbase.
Legs, I think, will help determine what sort of casual appeal is still there. The series became so huge due to casual appeal in the first place, all the little kids and great grandparents who jumped on board, not the fanbase itself. If it's really frontloaded, and finishes... let's say with ¥3-4 billion, it could be a sign that casual appeal has dropped off considerably. The loss of casual appeal, the typical non-moviegoers, is the reason follow-ups to former phenomenon franchises (or films) see their declines in the market. The 8-week window complicates this idea, since that will just naturally add some frontloading regardless, but if it can buck that a bit, it'll be a healthy sign for future releases.
Still would have preferred they prepared a proper film for this year versus the recap special here. 2025 is probably the earliest we'll get a film, which feels a bit risky. Japan is a market where you want to strike while the iron is hot, and while I still think it is, waiting too long risks losing some of that.

All look reasonable except for BTS. Does it have really high ticket prices like the Arashi or similar movies? By that, I mean ¥2500/3000 (or higher)?
If it has regular ticket prices, or only a little higher, then it probably ranks behind both Legend & Butterfly and The First Slam Dunk since those two are playing in ~82% more theaters nationwide.
