Lion King was bigger than Beast back in 90's and so can the new live action movie do better than beast 2017.



I'm mostly in agreement with Omni on this. The Lion King shouldn't be in the same ballpark as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, or Alice in Wonderland. Films starring animals (especially talking animals) generally don't perform as well. That may seem strange, but there are many, many examples of them under-performing.



But, I don't think it'll perform as badly as The Jungle Book. They do have similar release dates, though, but the The Lion King is a more relevant name/property, and its trailer has been attached to Aladdin and Toy Story 4. Since Japan doesn't have a big movie-going population (the average person sees one or two films a year), having your trailer attached to two major films like this does benefit in this market. Japan is a market all about exposure. I'm mostly in agreement with Omni on this. The Lion King shouldn't be in the same ballpark as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, or Alice in Wonderland.

Correct. They'll be released tomorrow.

Probably slightly above $7 million, but yes. Monday was a national holiday, and holiday weekdays are often about equal to a Saturday or Sunday. Most films were only down 5/10% compared to Sunday.

This is hard to answer. You can't simply compare one animated film to another in a market like Japan. Whereas families/younger audiences typically make up the majority of an animated film's audience in, say, the U.S., that's just not the case in Japan where most individual films see greatly varying audiences (typically much older than expected).



We don't know what audience it's attracting quite yet since it hasn't been in release long enough (so I can see how it performs throughout each day-part, where it's strongest and weakest), and we don't know the average ticket price from over the weekend yet (low = younger audience, average = broad audience, high = older audience). After a couple more days, I can determine which age-groups its primarily attracting.



It's going to be way down today (currently down over 90% compared to Monday) coming off of a holiday weekend and all. I'd expect a drop-off around 80% ("mostly" standard after a holiday), so if it holds better than that, I'd consider it "good." That'd be around ¥150 million ($1.3/1.4 million) or so. But again, it's early. Don't take this as a prediction. This is hard to answer. You can't simply compare one animated film to another in a market like Japan.

It's up there, but I doubt it's particularly high. Maybe Top 10, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's lower than that, maybe Top 15.



Most Hollywood blockbusters from the early/mid-2000's had previews, sometimes a full week's worth, included in their opening weekends which greatly inflated them. And unfortunately, almost none of them had said previews reported separately.



The Matrix Reloaded, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix all did over ¥2 billion in just "two days" (previews included), so they're certainly at the top. And other films like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (no previews, surprisingly), Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, The Matrix Revolutions, War of the Worlds, and probably Howl's Moving Castle (no previews) are likely among the highest.



If you exclude the unknown amount from previews, then I'm sure Toy Story 4 would have been an easy Top 3 or 5.



Thankfully, Eiren made the decision to count previews separately from opening weekends back in 2010, and they've largely become a thing of the past as a result.

Location: The Graveyard Re: Japan Box Office: Toy Story 4 Makes History Those numbers are all correct.



Tuesday was expected to drop big. Everything was down 80-90% due to coming off of a holiday weekday, which is the norm following a holiday. It's a cool-down day. The Tuesday number for Toy Story 4 and most of the others was fine. Schools began summer vacation this week, but you won't really see big weekdays until late-July/early-August. Pokemon would have been outside the Top 5 if schools were in session.



Since there are so many charts to update/post this week, I'm going to post a lot of them before the Weekend Actuals instead of afterwards like I normally do.

NOTE: Cumulative Totals Are As Of Monday, July 15th.



Toy Story 4... WOW. The fourth entry in the Pixar franchise sold a remarkable 1,031,000 admissions (first imported animated film to do this) over the weekend frame across 556 screens . Further, it sold an astounding 1,850,000 admissions over its long 4-day Marine Day Holiday Weekend (Fri.-Mon.). The film is going to exceed the ¥10 billion ($90 million+) uber-blockbuster milestone without much effort, and should be on track for a ¥12/13 billion ($110-120 million) total.



If you're reading this, you've probably been keeping track in this thread of how monstrous its opening weekend (and first four days in release) really was. It went into the weekend expected to either fall just shy or just barely break some records, but it shattered the records in question and achieved some truly incredible accomplishments. One ridiculous accomplishment that it achieved was the biggest imported opening weekend, animated or live-action, since 2007's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I'll have a huge, huge list of records and accomplishments below.

>Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution, while it had to play a very distant second place and be totally overshadowed, actually performed very, very well. The twenty-second film in the long-running Pokemon film franchise sold 454,000 admissions over the weekend frame across 408 screens . It then went on to sell a very nice 752,531 admissions over its long 4-Day Marine Day Holiday Weekend (Fri.-Mon.). The first CGI film in the series, a remake of the original 1998 film, achieved the biggest opening in the franchise since 2010! That's a very impressive result given the series was at franchise lows a three-five years ago. Expect a finish around ¥3.5 billion ($30-35 million).



>Aladdin fell to third place, and while it experienced its "worst" hold to date, it still held very well despite some harsh screen/showtime cuts. It also became the highest grossing film of 2019 over the weekend, and has sold over 6.9 million admissions after six weeks in release (plus Monday). There are a lot of big films still to come, so the screen/showtime cuts will continue but I don't believe it'll see a noticeable hit (say, 40-50%) until maybe August 9th, so it's going to continue to bring in some impressive numbers. It's still on track for a ¥12/13 billion ($110-120 million) total.



>Spider-Man: Far From Home continues to follow a fairly frontloaded trajectory as its predecessor. Thankfully, it had a much higher opening to make up for the mediocre holds and will outgross Homecoming's ¥2.8 billion total in a couple weeks. Depending on if it can maintain a sufficient enough screen/showtimes going into August, it could reach around ¥3.5 billion, but it'll probably settle closer to ¥3.2 billion ($30 million) or so. ...

Posts: 1 Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Actuals; Charts Updated! (07/1 Considering this past aggregate weekend was the 14th biggest since 1998, and with the opening of Weathering with You, coupled with very strong holdovers from Toy Story 4, Aladdin, and Far From Home, can we possibly see a record on that list, or something close to it? Or did this past weekend was just inflated by the holiday on Monday?
