Post Re: Japan Box-Office: WKND Actuals (06/19-20); Charts Update
Thanks, mark. We should compile a most attended Japanese film list for Germany, get a head start on it before the box office in Germany kicks into high gear again in a few weeks. I could try to do something similar for German films in Japan, but no promises that I could find sufficient data. I've been noticing many older internet articles (at least in Japanese) are no longer being hosted/or being taken down in recent months (years). But I can try.

Walt Disney Animation Box-Office History:

OPENINGS:
¥1.616 billion ($14.9 million) / 1,210,000 - Frozen II (2019)
¥763.4 million ($7.5 million) / 602,347 - Frozen (2014)
¥600.4 million ($5.2 million) / 463,556 - Big Hero 6 (2014)
¥589.5 million ($5.1 million) / 466,480 - Moana (2017)
~¥550 million ($4.9 million) / ~445,000 - Dinosaur (2000)
¥453.6 million ($4.1 million) / 350,373 - Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018)

¥330.0 million ($2.7 million) / 268,000 - Lilo & Stitch (2003)
¥264.4 million ($2.6 million) / ~192,000 - Chicken Little (2005)
¥254.0 million ($2.7 million) / 192,400 - Bolt (2009)
¥240.0 million ($2.3 million) / 194,000 - Tarzan (1999)
¥232.2 million ($1.9 million) / ~190,000 - Peter Pan 2: Return to Neverland (2002)
¥196.2 million ($1.8 million) / 158,000 - Brother Bear (2004)
¥155.0 million ($1.2 million) / ~125,000 - Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
¥144.3 million ($1.0 million) / 118,900 - Meet the Robinsons (2007)
¥142.7 million ($1.8 million) / 96,384 - Tangled (2011)*
¥127.3 million ($1.1 million) / ~103,000 - Treasure Planet (2003)
¥92.5 million ($1.0 million) / 73,586 - The Princess and the Frog (2010)
¥82.2 million ($1.1 million) / 66,372 - Winnie the Pooh (2011)
¥62.8 million ($0.6 million) / 49,000 - Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)**


*Opening Weekend impacted by the Great Tohoku Earthquake.
**Opening Weekend impacted by theater boycotts of same-day Disney+ release.

Note (1): Dinosaur's Opening Weekend is a rough estimate based on its #1 weekend ranking in admissions, and reported highest opening weekend for a Walt Disney Animated film at the time, 230% higher than the previous year's Tarzan.
Note (2): No Opening Weekend data for Mulan, but it ranked 2nd in admissions, so it had a decent debut. Impossible to really say how high, but I'd guess around ¥150-200 million or so. It didn't earn ¥1 billion in income revenue in 1998, so its total wouldn't have been more than ~¥1.5 billion or so.
Note (3): No Opening Weekend data for The Emperor's New Groove, but it ranked 8th in admissions, so definitely a poor debut. Almost definitely (considerably) below ¥100 million.
Note (4): No Opening Weekend or Total data for Home on the Range, it missed the Top 10, so it was very low. I'd guess below Winnie the Pooh and possibly even Raya.
Note (5): No Opening Weekend data available for any films before 1998.


TOTALS:
¥25.50 billion ($249.6 million) / 20.03 million - Frozen (2014)
¥13.35 billion ($122.3 million) / 10.45 million - Frozen II (2019)
¥9.18 billion ($77.7 million) / 7.22 million - Big Hero 6 (2014)
¥7.63 billion ($70.6 million) / 5.91 million - Zootopia (2016)
¥5.16 billion ($46.1 million) / 4.25 million - Moana (2017)
¥4.90 billion ($40.2 million) / 3.95 million - Dinosaur (2000)
¥4.25 billion ($37.2 million) / 3.50 million - Aladdin (1993)
¥3.86 billion ($35.0 million) / 3.10 million - Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018)

¥1.95 billion ($18.4 million) / ~1.60 million - The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
¥1.65 billion ($17.4 million) / 1.25 million - Bolt (2009)
¥1.60 billion ($14.7 million) / 1.30 million - Brother Bear (2004)
¥1.28 billion ($10.6 million) / 1.03 million - Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
¥1.20 billion ($8.9 million) / ~1.00 million - The Little Mermaid (1991)
¥1.10 billion ($9.3 million) / ~900,000 - Hercules (1997)
~¥930 million ($8.6 million) / ~750,000 - Meet the Robinsons (2007)
~¥615 million ($5.2 million) / ~500,000 - Treasure Planet (2003)
~¥450 million ($4.9 million) / ~360,000 - The Princess and the Frog (2010)
~¥340 million ($3.2 million) / ~270,000 - Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)**
~¥325 million ($4.2 million) / ~265,000 - Winnie the Pooh (2011)


*Run impacted by the Great Tohoku Earthquake.
**Run impacted by theater boycotts of same-day Disney+ release.

Note: No Total data available on any other Walt Disney Animation releases. No missing films released between 1980-1998 earned ¥1 billion+ in distributor income, so none of their totals would be above ¥1.5 billion or so (and likely much less, with the exception of possibly Mulan and Pocahontas, which may have been near there).

I've been saying that Raya was likely Walt Disney Animation's lowest-grossing film since before the 90s, but it looks like it probably edged out Winnie the Pooh. Also, even if it didn't, Home on the Range definitely grossed less than both of them and has that title.

What happened with Winnie the Pooh? Is that property too young for Japan?

Post Re: Japan Box-Office: Ongoing Franchise/Studio History Updat
I don't know off the top of my head, but chances are it's just an unknown property in Japan. An unknown children's property must be the hardest sell out there for any market I would imagine, because young children aren't really going to look it up themselves, and their parents aren't going to take them to see something they're unfamiliar with.

I don't recall Christopher Robin doing well either a few years back. Different than an animated Winnie the Pooh, of course, but more evidence that the property is unknown.

Winnie the Pooh also bombed in the US and UK as well, markets where the character is arguably the most popular. I think the film just didn't look different enough from the TV series and direct-to-video movies to be worth the price of admission for most families.

I'm taking a break from here and the internet starting next week for at least a month, so I'm going to continue to update and post various charts during this time. (Less to do when I come back.)

If anyone is available or happen to live somewhere in the nearby area, I'm going to the Starwood Festival (40th anniversary) this year from July 13th-19th held at the Wisteria Campground and Event Site in Pomeroy, Ohio, a village about 2 hours southeast of Columbus. Pretty secluded and isolated location. Vaccines are strongly encouraged, COVID guidelines will still be in place for this year in enclosed areas, and it is only 18+ this year due to the pandemic.

Besides the spiritual events, there's typically a lot of music, pyro displays (lots of fire in general), and there are hundreds of workshops present, so there is probably something to find interest in. The husband is also having a crystal workshop with a friend and will be handing out some free gifts to those that participate. And if none of that is of interest, there is also an Un-Birthday Mad Hatter Tea Party for everyone who doesn't have a birthday the day of, as well as an Alice in Wonderland themed Birthday Party for everyone who had a birthday the prior year. Both have been a lot of fun in the past.

Starwood Festival

Just shoot me a PM if interested in coming to meet up! (We'll pay and add you to the pod.) It's open to everyone, and everyone is open and nice. Just come knowing what you may see and not get offended. (Clothing is optional, for example, but few go nude, and skyclad rituals are usually at night/overnight, or in the early morning.) It's been a lot of fun in the past, and always nice to get away.

Have fun @Corpse!

Do they really have wisteria flowers at the Wisteria Camp? It sounds like an ideal place to hold the Final Selection.

There is indeed wisteria, the native American variety, not the Japanese/Chinese variety. I believe the Asian species is invasive.

And thanks, everyone. I'll post the Weekend Actuals (06/26-27) tomorrow, followed by the 2021 Chart Updates. And I'll update a few more lists on Wednesday, then I'm beginning my break this Thursday.

I will definitely have fun. I've not just been burning out here in recent months (still enjoy being here, don't get me wrong), but just in general life, really. Definitely need this extended time away to recharge.

Per Oricon weekly rankings, Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen first week sales: 1,310,783

351,326 RE BD
338,016 LE BD
456,909 RE DVD
164,532 LE DVD

For those interested, the second week added 124,766 for a total of 1,435,549.

That's a 90.5% drop on the opening week, which I think is largely to be expected. It does mean that 2 million is a long-shot (compared to a scenario where it added more like 300k this week), unless this week was slowed by supply constraints. If it adds like 150k next week then we can re-evaluate, but it might be ~60-80k and declining each week after that (which would be normal).

That's why, while I said this will rank for a long time, I also said we should know within a fairly short time about where we can ballpark it. For a release measured in the millions, ranking for dozens of additional weeks at a couple hundred a week isn't that noticeable, whereas for a TV series that can be be a hefty percentage.

(Also note that "2 million is a long shot" is for the Oricon number; since they inherently undercount everything, I certainly wouldn't rule out a press release from Aniplex announcing 2 million shipped at some point. Because retailer returns aren't much of a thing in the JP DVD/BD market, you can for all intents and purposes treat shipped numbers as equivalent to sell-through, because Aniplex will be paid for them.)


[And this is not actually relevant to this thread, but it is really funny how, even though physical media is on its way out, we have two historic exceptions to the rule happening at the same exact time. In addition to Kimetsu's huge numbers, the second season of Uma Musume is putting up the biggest numbers for a TV anime in history. Volume 1's first week was the biggest ever (112k), and its total is also the biggest ever (185k and counting). And Vol. 2 just came out and smashed Vol. 1's week one record (150k), though it'll obviously be more front-loaded than Vol. 1. If you're wondering, it's mostly driven by pack-in codes for the popular new mobile game. Even so, this is an absolutely mind-boggling number for a TV anime, and there have been many many shows with game codes and none ever came anywhere near this.]

Post Re: Japan Box-Office: Updates on Hiatus until ~August
Alright, so today is my last day accessing the internet (and here) for at least 4 weeks. Thanks again for all the words above, and I wish everyone well!

I did not get around to posting the past weekend actuals, so apologies, but here are a few notes for the top performers right now:

-Evangelion is very likely to reach ¥10 billion now. It will end up earning ~90% of the combined grosses of the first three films (its three predecessors) in the Rebuild series. What an incredible accomplishment, and perfect way to send off this franchise.

-Detective Conan has been holding very well lately (even increased this past weekend), so it's still got some gas left in the tank. ¥7.5 billion is lookin good now, which while below the last two films due to theater closures impacting it, is very impressive given said circumstances it's had to perform under. And being the 3rd biggest film in a franchise of 24 films is huge regardless.

-Part one of the Rurouni Kenshin finale broke ¥4 billion on Monday, and just might manage to outgross 2014's The Legend Ends. Both of these milestones seemed impossible given its first 6 weeks "suffered" from theater closures, but its legs have been incredible. Still early to really project where Part 2 may end up since Part 1 is still bringing in a decent amount of fans.

And note that COVID cases have been increasing in Tokyo again in recent days, which could hinder some of the July/August releases. Too early to say what will happen, just don't be too surprised if a delay or two occurs if things worsen and/or the government requests closures again. If anything, capacity restrictions and early closing hours in Tokyo will almost certainly be extended beyond their current July 12th deadline due to the safely concerns regarding the Olympics (and they'll likely reverse their decision to have some spectators back to having zero again now).

See you guys!
