Post Re: Japan Box Office: Top DVD Sales
So Frozen just sold over 1 million copies on Blu-ray in 3 days. :unsure:

All-Time Top Selling DVDs (Blu-ray included in totals):

01. 2,401,992 - Spirited Away
02. 1,565,000 - Finding Nemo
03. 1,514,000 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
04. 1,384,000 - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
05. 1,370,000 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
06. 1,327,915 - Howl's Moving Castle
07. 1,265,000 - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
08. 1,247,560 - My Neighbor Totoro
09. 1,197,000 - The Matrix Reloaded
10. 1,158,000 - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
11. 1,125,000 - Michael Jackson's This is It
12. 1,122,000 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
13. 1,046,000 - Frozen [Blu-Ray Copies Only After 3 Days...]
14. 1,032,000 - The Last Samurai
948,451 - Ponyo
943,000 - Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
937,000 - The Matrix Revolution
932,999 - Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
794,696 - Castle in the Sky
743,000 - The Incredibles
732,000 - Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix
667,504 - Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
640,000 - Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance
598,000 - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
585,000 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
580,000 - Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
574,434 - Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo
570,000 - Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
570,000 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
536,110 - Kiki's Delivery Service
510,000 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Note: Many of these are estimates, especially those ending in 000.

Again, the above totals are NOT first week sales, but overall sales. And Frozen is already that high after 3-days with just Blu-ray sales reported. :unsure:

Frozen is already the ~13th best-selling DVD/Blu-Ray ever after 3-days on the market, and that doesn't include the DVD sales. They'll be lower than the Blu-Ray sales, but its first week on the market might be enough to make it the 2nd best-selling DVD/Blu-Ray ever!

It's also the first Blu-ray release to sell over 1 million copies in the market, and the first DVD/Blu-Ray release sinceSpirited Away to sell over 1 million copies in a week, though Frozen needed 3 days and that's only counting the Blu-ray disc sales..

Since Spirited Away came out on DVD when VHS was still a thing, its lifetime sales including the VHS release is 4.1 million.

So Frozen will top Spirited Away in all home media, it seems. And do films not get released on DVD in Japan anymore?

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Marine Day Wknd Forecast
Marine Day Weekend 3-Day Forecast (07/19-21)

2-Day, 3-Day
01 (--) ¥510 million ($5.0 million), 0, ¥730 million ($7.2 million), Pokemon XY: The Cocoon of Destruction & Diancie (Toho) NEW
02 (--) ¥460 million ($4.5 million), 0, ¥690 million ($6.8 million), Memories of Marnie (Toho) NEW

03 (01) ¥446 million ($4.4 million), -26%, ¥670 million ($6.6 million), Maleficent (Disney) Week 3
04 (--) ¥220 million ($2.1 million), 0, ¥315 million ($3.1 million), Kamen Rider Gaim the Movie: The Great Soccer Match! The Golden Fruit Cup (Toei) NEW
05 (--) ¥140 million ($1.3 million), 0, ¥210 million ($2.0 million), Planes: Fire & Rescue (Disney) NEW

06 (02) ¥126 million ($1.2 million), -32%, ¥180 million ($1.7 million), Edge of Tomorrow (Warner Bros.) Week 3
07 (03) ¥105 million ($1.0 million), -34%, ¥145 million ($1.4 million), Say, "I Love You" (Shochiku) Week 2
08 (04) ¥86 million ($840,000), -37%, ¥125 million ($1.2 million), Frozen (Disney) Week 19
09 (05) ¥64 million ($620,000), -23%, ¥95 million ($930,000), Mission Impossible: Samurai (Shochiku) Week 5
10 (07) ¥36 million ($350,000), -30%, ¥50 million ($490,000), Thirst (Gaga) Week 4

This is going to be a close weekend between openers Pokemon XY, Memories of Marnie, and Maleficent in its 3rd week of release.

Pokemon XY has the best morning ticket sales from all the locations I've tracked, but it'll gradually die down as the day goes on until it comes to a drastic decline in the evening. Marnie and Maleficent have way more showtimes then (and on the bigger screens) to make up any lost ground they lost during the morning showings.

However, none of them appear to be doing well enough this morning/afternoon to be assured over ¥500 million ($5 million) for the weekend frame, but they also look good enough to be over ¥400 million ($4 million). It looks to be a 3-way battle for the top spot, though if we go by just admissions, Pokemon XY probably has the slight advantage. It'll need to beat Marnie and Maleficent by a solid amount though to beat them in gross since its avg. ticket price will be much lower than either of them.

I'm hoping that I'm underpredicting the weekend all together though and end up very wrong. If nothing breaks the ¥500 million mark over the weekend, then it'll be the first time since.. I'm getting 1992, that no film has done so. The Marine Day Holiday Weekend is traditionally the strongest weekend at the box-office, so that would be a pretty big blow to the start of the Summer box-office season.

Hopefully, by some chance, Saturday just appears weak right now since there is a 3-day Holiday weekend and Sunday also happens to be a Movix Cinema (4th largest chain) discount day. This was the case in 2012 when a discount day fell on Sunday, too, so fingers crossed!

The DVD has made a little over ¥6 billion ($60 million) in just 3 days in Japan so far, and that's just including the Blu-ray sales. Its overall first week sales could end up over ¥9 billion ($90 million).

And to answer your earlier question, films still get released on DVD, but Blu-rays are more popular.

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Marine Day Weekend 3-Day Forecast
Starting off with Ponyo isn't a good idea. ;) Miyazaki made that one for young children, specifically his grandchildren, to enjoy rather than his or the studios more mature works.

If I'd recommend their films to someone, I'd say...

Must-sees (imo, the core films): Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Porco Rosso*, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away.

Very good: Grave of the Fireflies*, Kiki's Delivery Service*, Whisper of the Heart*, Howl's Moving Castle, The Wind Rises*.

If you have more time: The Cat Returns (see Whisper of the Heart first), Arrietty, Kokuriko Hill*.

And skip unless you liked the majority above (these are the more unique or unpopular films of their library): Only Yesterday*, Pom Poko, My Neighbor the Yamadas*, Tales from Earthsea.

*Light fantasy elements or non-fantasy title.

Haven't seen The Tale of Princess Kaguya yet.

So it will no doubt beat the US sales. Just wow.

Toho Cinemas Admissions [As of 02:30PM]:
27,625 - Pokemon XY: The Cocoon of Destruction & Diancie (NEW)
12,902 - Memories of Marnie (NEW)

12,300 (-36%) - Maleficent (Week 3)
8,504 - Kamen Rider Gaim the Movie: The Great Soccer Match! (NEW)
4,628 - Planes: Fire & Rescue (NEW)

3,205 (-40%) - Say, "I Love You" (Week 2)
2,445 (-41%) - Frozen (Week 19)
2,155 (-46%) - Edge of Tomorrow (Week 3)
1,643 (-31%) - Mission Impossible: Samurai (Week 5)
1,643 (-28%) - Anpanman: The Apple Boy and Everyone's Wishes (Week 3)



Toho, Movix, 109, Kinezo Combined Admissions [As of 02:40PM]:
48,106 - Pokemon XY: The Cocoon of Destruction & Diancie (NEW)
25,184 - Memories of Marnie (NEW)

24,195 - Maleficent (Week 3)
17,940 - Kamen Rider Gaim the Movie: The Great Soccer Match! (NEW)
8,012 - Planes: Fire & Rescue (NEW)

7,722 - Say, "I Love You" (Week 2)
5,434 - Edge of Tomorrow (Week 3)
4,690 - Mission Impossible: Samurai (Week 5)
4,385 - Frozen (Week 19)
2,949 - Anpanman: The Apple Boy and Everyone's Wishes (Week 3)


Pokemon has a strong lead, but it's tracking 8% behind last year's film at the same point in time at Toho Cinemas, and it only increased its admissions at this point by 29.7% for the rest of the day. So at Toho Cinemas, it should be headed for 35,000-37,000 admissions for the day.

That'll be really difficult for Marnie or Maleficent to reach, but they will close the gap considerably.

And the weekend looks like it's going to underwhelm. It's very unlikely anything earns over 500 million for the weekend unless Sunday is extremely strong, which would be the first time a film failed to reach the mark since around 1992 over this weekend.

Pokemon is trailing last year's film by 13% now at Toho Cinemas, and Memories of Marnie only did 10% better than The Tale of Princess Kaguya at the same locations.

So unless Sunday really changes things, they're looking at opening weekends (Sat/Sun) of:

¥425-450 million ($4.2-4.5 million) / 405,000-425,000 admissions - Pokemon XY
¥425-450 million ($4.2-4.5 million) / 305,000-325,000 admissions - Maleficent
¥310-330 million ($3.1-3.3 million) / 240,000-260,000 admissions - Memories of Marnie

Pokemon and Maleficent look to be fighting out as both of their projections are in the same range based on Saturday results. Pokemon will win the weekend in admissions, however, but the overall franchise has noticeably gotten weaker of the past couple years. If this one opens more than 10% above the last film as it looks like it's going to do, then it will probably be the first new generation film to drop from the last film of the previous generation.

I was hesitant to believe that Youkai Watch, a new series in Japan that's been exploding (higher tv ratings than Pokemon now, and the recent game sold 1.28 million copies in 4 days, which is almost comparable to the Pokemon games themselves), is taking away younger fans and attracting a new group of kids, but that certainly seems to be the case here. The new game actually launched this past week, too, so some budget cautious parents and their kids may have chosen it over the new Pokemon film. Dunno, we'll see as time goes on.

And that's pretty poor for Marnie. It wasn't expected to do Hayao Miyazaki numbers of course, but only doing a bit better than The Tale of Princess Kaguya, and maybe not even matching Up on Poppy Hill is very underwhelming. Some analysts believed Studio Ghibli would suffer after Miyazaki retired, with interest in the brand name dwindling as a results, so there may be some truth to this theory as well. Marnie will likely earn a multiplier over 10, but that may only be good enough for a ¥3-3.5 billion ($30-35 million) total.

As for the other films... pretty damn bad, too. Kamen Rider appears well down once again. The interest in these films are also dropping at a constant pace. And Planes 2 is going to do much, much less than the first film. It's pretty much a bomb based on Saturday.

Best comparisons for the new Pokemon film? Last year's Pokemon film and Doraemon since it skews very young, too. Children movies in general do worse on average than adult films at Toho Cinemas when we compared the multipliers.

So this tells us that that families/children frequent other cinema chains, like Aeon Cinemas, while teens/adults prefer Toho locations. It's interesting to note, that if this theory continues to hold true, that Maleficent is attracting a lot of teens/adults rather than children or familes.

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Marine Day Weekend 3-Day Forecast
Some release date changes and new dates announced for the fall/winter season:

October:
10/04 - Under the Skin (Fanfirumuzu)
10/11 - Grace of Monaco (Gaga)
10/11 - Close Range Love (Toho)
10/25 - The Equalizer (Sony) [Old Date: TBD September 2014]

November:
11/01 - Clover (Toho)
11/15 - As the Gods Will (Toho)
11/22 - Mindset (Toei)
11/22 - Interstellar (Warner Bros.) [Old Date: TBD December 2014]
11/22 - Attack on Titan Part I: Crimsom Bow and Arrow (n/a)
11/29 - Parasyte Part I (Toho) [Old Date: TBD December 2014]

December:
12/13 - Aikatsu! The Movie (Toei)
12/13 - Ao Haru Ride (Toho)
12/13 - The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies (Warner Bros.) [Old Date: 02/28/15]
12/19 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Paramount) [Old Date: TBD December 2014]
12/20 - Youkai Watch: The Secret of Nyan's Birth! (Toho)
12/20 - Big Hero 6 (Disney)

Advance tickets for the Youkai movie in December also went on sale yesterday, and it's reportedly close to selling 500,000 tickets in a day (nearing sell out status). It's pretty obvious that it's having an impact on the Pokemon series now with this news, along with games sales starting to rival Pokemon's own and higher TV ratings, too.

Nothing has been able to compete against Pokemon on a multi-media level all these years, but maybe it finally does have a rival.

I expect the Japs to love that. But I guess it will be a small release. What's the bar for success?

Who would have thought Maleficent would be looking at a weekend drop in the 20% range against four wide openers, one being the latest Studio Ghibli film, the other the newest Pokemon?

Unless Aeon Cinemas was very, very favorable towards Pokemon, Maleficent looks to repeat atop the box-office for a third-consecutive week. Pokemon still likely won the weekend in admissions (I know, it doesn't look like it above, but it plays much strong at Aeon Cinemas), but Maleficent closed the gap considerably after a massive Sunday.

My weekend projections:

¥460-480 million ($4.6-4.8 million) / 340,000-360,000 admissions - Maleficent (Week 3)
¥395-415 million ($3.9-4.1 million) / 370,000-390,000 admissions - Pokemon XY (NEW)
¥320-340 million ($3.2-3.4 million) / 260,000-280,000 admissions - Memories of Marnie (NEW)
¥140-160 million ($1.4-1.6 million) / 120,000-130,000 admissions - Kamen Rider Gaim (NEW)

¥120-130 million ($1.2-1.3 million) - Edge of Tomorrow (Week 3)
¥90-100 million ($0.9-1.0 million) - Say, "I Love You" (Week 2)
¥80-85 million ($0.8-0.9 million) / 65,000-75,000 admissions - Planes: Fire & Rescue (NEW)
¥75-80 million ($0.7-0.8 million) - Frozen (Week 19)
¥70-75 million ($0.7-0.8 million) - Mission Impossible: Samurai (Week 5)
¥30-35 million ($0.3-0.4 million) - Thirst (Week 4)

Since Monday is a holiday, estimates likely won't be released and actuals will be available on Tuesday.

So the first 500,000 advance tickets for the first Youkai Watch movie to be released on Dec. 20th went on sale Friday, and they've all sold out already...

People began lining up outside theaters as early as 4am Friday morning, and here are some photos people captured:

And the first 500,000 people to purchase a ticket also received this exclusive Yokai medal that can be used in their own yokai watches:

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Marine Day Weekend Ranking
Weekend Ranking (07-19-20)

Image

01 (01) Maleficent (Disney) Week 3
02 (--) Pokemon XY: The Cocoon of Destruction & Diancie (Toho) DEBUT
03 (--) Memories of Marnie (Toho) DEBUT
04 (--) Kamen Rider Gaim the Movie: The Great Soccer Match! (Toei) DEBUT

05 (02) Edge of Tomorrow (Paramount) Week 3
06 (03) Say, "I Love You" (Shochiku) Week 2
07 (--) Planes: Fire & Rescue (Disney) DEBUT
08 (04) Frozen (Disney) Week 19
09 (05) Mission Impossible: Samurai (Shochiku) Week 5
10 (06) The Grudge: The Beginning of the End (Showgate) Week 4

Enter the biggest weekend of the year! The start of Summer vacation, except... this year's Marine Day Weekend happened to be the worst in at least 15 years, and had the lowest grossing #1 film since at least 1992. And all four openers either disappointed or bombed in the process. And the first half of 2014 was so strong, too!

>Maleficent held strong against the wave of new competition (though they all disappointed), dropping just 20% to earn ¥479,924,000 ($4.7 million) with 350,746 admissions. It lost to Pokemon XY in admissions, but its 3D share and seemingly high adult audience was more than enough to counter Pokemon's much lower ticket prices.

After Monday, Maleficent has grossed an impressive ¥3.28 billion ($32.4 million) with 2.42 million admissions after 17-days. Unless Godzilla explodes this upcoming weekend, or Stand By Me, Doraemon really breaks-out, Maleficent will be the #1 film this Summer with a projected total ¥6-7 billion ($60-70 million).

>Pokemon XY: The Cocoon of Destruction debuted in second (1st in admissions, however) with ¥393,259,400 ($3.9 million) with 360,190 admissions. No 3-Day figure has been reported yet. This is is 20% less than last year's film, though, and the third overall weakest opening in the franchise (ahead of just Movies 4 and 5). It's very likely to miss the ¥3 billion ($30 million) mark and will probably end up as the second lowest grossing film, perhaps even the lowest grossing film in the franchise, which is currently movie 5 (¥2.67 billion), the sole film right now that grossed less than ¥3 billion.

This is also a pretty concerning drop. Not only because this is the first film of a new generation, which typically sees an increase on opening weekend over the previous film and ALWAYS grosses more than the previous film, but also because of the significant drop-off in attendance. It's down 23% in admissions compared to last year's film... There's definitely something (see: Yokai Watch) that's happened to the series over the past year or two with the steep declines.

>Memories of Marnie settled for third place with ¥378,865,500 ($3.7 million) with 285,234 admissions on 461 screens. I was kinda relieved when I saw the weekend number almost match From Up on Poppy Hill (98% of its debut), but that's not really the film you want to be competing against. With Monday included, its 3-day total reached a decent ¥553,750,000 ($5.5 million). Studio Ghibli film, with the exception of Tales from Earthsea, have always earned a multiplier over 10 in July, so Memories of Marnie still has a decent shot at exceeding ¥4 billion ($40 million). If it achieves this milestone, I think it can be considered a mild success.

Studio Ghibli has found themselves in a difficult situation now though with their non-Miyazaki films having consistently missing ¥5 billion (the blockbuster mark in Japan) since 2011. Studio Ghibli films are very expensive, amongst the country's most-expensive productions (budgets usually range between ¥2.5-3 billion), so they can't afford to keep having films barely make back budget much longer. Studio Ghibli is definitely in a rough place right now.

>The latest Kamen Rider is also a disappointment. Its debut of ¥169,835,500 ($1.6 million) and 138,528 admissions on 309 screens is 25% and 36% less than the past two films. The franchise has been struggle since about 2012 with most of the films barely reaching ¥1 billion ($10 million) when they used to earn ¥1.5 billion, and this latest one will need a lot of luck to reach the milestone.

>Planes: Fire & Rescue was the fourth disappointment over the weekend, dropping over 50% from its predecessor's opening weekend. Playing on 313 screens, it only took in ¥77,293,200 ($760,000) and 65,459 admissions over the weekend. It'll probably earn just over ¥600 million ($6 million).

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Marine Day Weekend Ranking (07/19-20)
To maybe explain why, what is normally the biggest weekend of the year, was a bust this year, the worst in over 15 years with the lowest grossing #1 film since 1992...

Frozen DVD Release (July 16th):
Frozen was released on DVD and sold 1.514 million copies in a week. That's about ¥8.2 billion ($80 million) worth of sales in a single week.

This gives it the biggest first week sales of ever, ahead of Spirited Away's 1.406 million first week sales, and Finding Nemo's 945,000 first week sales.

But not only did it break the first week sales record, 1.514 million ranks it as the 3rd best-selling DVD ever. In one week, it surpassed the lifetime sales of EVERY film except for Spirited Away and Finding Nemo And it'll become the #2 best-selling DVD really soon when it passes Finding Nemo's 1.565 million copies. DVD/CD sales are very, very frontloaded in Japan, so it'll still need some time before it beats Spirited Away's 2.41 million copies, but it will likely do so.


Yokai Watch 2 Game Release (July 10th) / Advance Movie Tickets Sell Out:
Yokai Watch 2 sold 1.312 million copies in 4 days (about ¥5.4 billion ($52 million) in sales), making it the best-selling video game in Japan already this year and the biggest first-week sales since Pokemon XY last year (1.867 million).

And 3DS sales were up 286% for the week as a result. The first Yokai Watch game was also #3 for the week.

Not to mention that advance tickets for the first movie being released in December sold out of the first wave of 500,000 tickets in 2 days over the weekend. That's about ¥400 million ($4 million) in advance ticket sales. That's also almost 150,000 more tickets than any film did in admissions over the weekend for comparison.


That's a lot of money being spent in a week. So maybe, just maybe, with these two huge releases for families and kids leading into the Summer vacation weekend, the weekend was deflated and will recover next weekend.
