It'll either come very, very close to ¥2 billion (almost $20 million), or finish slightly above the mark. I'll post the Weekend Estimates here soon, and based on its second weekend hold (quite impressive for a DC/Marvel film), I'm betting it'll finish above ¥2 billion.

OMG! "In This Corner of the World" won some major awards in Japan and continues to impress the critics, but still such jump at this time was unexpected

Your Name made ¥212 million from Monday to Sunday, while it's a little bit better than what Corpse expected, I think the door to ¥30 billion is close. (Even if it still make ¥212 million per week, 28 weeks later, it'll have ¥29.976 billion)

You mean "closed"?

That's a drop of 21.5% from last week's totals, and in line with drops the previous two weeks (~20%). If this rate of decrease continues, Your Name probably won't surpass Frozen by the time it is out of theaters. If it maintains this trend, it will be just short of 24.9 billion yen by the end of summer. I think holiday bumps may get it over 25 billion yen, but I think even Frozen as a target is starting to slip away.

Yes, I mean its nearly impossible to archive ¥30 billion.
But Your Name fan shouldn't be sad as they can look forward to disc sale this summer for new record breaking.
Winning at Japan Academy Prize won't do much, but if somehow it failed to do so and In this Corner win instead then it'll be in really bad situation as the mainstream focus will shift to Corner.

Full Weekend Actuals are taking awhile to come in this week for some reason. I'll wait another day before posting anything, in hopes that they'll be available tomorrow. If they're not, I'll post what's available tomorrow.

A few notes ahead of any numbers:

>Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children came in second place as estimates suggested, however, it managed to edge out Dr. Strange in weekend admissions (~5,000 difference). Dr. Strange repeats atop the box office in terms of revenue for a second weekend.

>In This Corner of the World missed out on the Top 5 (ranking 6th), but regardless of that, it continues an incredible performance in the Top 10 and has seen significant increases over the past several days. As a result, I believe it's siphoning some of Your Name.'s audience. This is going to make it much harder for Your Name. to surpass Frozen and Titanic if it's unable to recover from the -20/30% drops, its largest to date, it's been experiencing the past couple weeks.

The 40th Japan Academy Prize Ceremony is on March 3rd, and Your Name. will likely need a sweep (Director, Screenplay, Animation, and Music, the first three at least) to receive another boost at the box office, one it'll probably need to surpass Frozen and Titanic. A director of an animated film has never won Best Director or Screenplay, both of which Shinkai is nominated, so I'm sure it'd be a news-worthy accomplishment if Shinkai/Your Name. wins these; which should give the film a boost that could then push it into the Spring Break box office season in late-March.

A lot of Japanese twitter start posting related to Moana, does Disney begin its advertisement there?

MOANA might be the first ¥5 B film of the year, considering how well the previous Disney's films have worked.

Been busy for the last two weeks or so.

Even if yn isn't able to snatch that 3rd place from Frozen, it has just manage to pass USD 350 Million!
I think it's like this (more or less). Still no data for south east asian, though, and i don't check for other countries i know it was released there, too (such as Argentina, Sweden). Oh, well i think i should just put the nations on the list.

Number from Japan may be not too accurate, just got from kogyotsushin as '240.3', but it should be close.

Full Weekend Actuals still aren't available, so I'm just going to move forward and update the yearly charts since the numbers that are out allow them to be fully updated.

I'll, of course, post last Weekend's Actuals whenever they are available.

Moana will, likely, perform very well when it releases next month. Japan should comfortably become its #1 international market. Walt Disney Animation has replaced Pixar as the leading imported animated film studio in the market, and until they release an underwhelming film or two, they'll continue to have huge success in the market.

¥4-5 billion+ ($40-50 million+) certainly seems like a reasonable goal, which will push it above the $600 million worldwide milestone.

With 2016 over, there are now 23 animated films in the All-Time Top 100. Four animated films broke into the All-Time Top 100, and eight animated films exceeded the ¥3 billion (box office hit) threshold:

(List excludes likely limited releases and/or independent studio release)

I'm glad Strange caught on a bit in Japan.

Yeah, it's performing quite well. I'm confident predicting a total over ¥2 billion (~$20 million).

I didn't give it much of a chance here, beyond the typical ¥1/1.5 billion ($10-15 million) finish that most DC/Marvel films gross, but in hindsight, its success does make sense for a number of reasons:

1. Frequent appearances in Spider-Man comics (Spider-Man is easily the #1 superhero in Japan), so Doctor Strange isn't an unknown character.
2. Sherlock, the TV series, is popular in Japan, so Cumberbatch is a known name.
3. Mystical Arts/Magic is likely more appealing than another superhero that has flying or super strength.

Saturday Update:

>Partners: The Movie IV performed very well, and is very likely to achieve the biggest opening of 2017 so far. I predicted an opening around ¥400 million ($3.5 million), but it may come in closer to ¥450/500 million ($4-5 million).

>Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children held nicely, down less than 25% compared to last Saturday. It and Doctor Strange will be in a very close battle for second place this weekend.

>Survival Family performed as expected and is still aiming for a debut of ¥150 million ($1.3 million), or maybe slightly less.

>Your Name. may be back to minuscule drops again after experiencing a couple weeks of large 20/30% declines, being down less than 5% compared to last Saturday in its 25th week of release.

>Allied is proving that Brad Pitt still has some drawing power in the market since it'll comfortably make the Top 10 this weekend (7th/8th place). Its low screen count, however, will hinder it a bit.

>And finally, if anything surprises and makes the bottom of the Top 10, it's going to be the live-all-night screening of Yuri!!! On Ice with Yuri K., Victor and Yuri P. Roppongi Hills Cinema held an all-night screening of the entire first season for fans with discussion with the anime's voice cast.

The all-night screening was relayed live to 47 other theaters in Japan, and its admissions for Saturday were easily enough to make the Top 10, selling through nearly 70% of its available tickets. Whether or not it makes the weekend Top 10, since it was a one-night-only event, remains to be seen, but if its ticket prices were high enough, it may just make it.

The incredibly popular sports anime, that has achieved popularity on a worldwide scale, about male figure ice skating is becoming one of the hottest anime properties in recent years with international athletes taking on voice roles, participating in marketing and advertising, and more.

While we're waiting for BoxOffice actual number
Yahoo Japan release 2016 user votes
In term of average score, Zootopia is no.1
But in term of number of people who vote, Your Name is no.1
If Google Translate correctly

http://news.ameba.jp/20170213-524/

What's that site about? If anyone can translate.
Indeed, zootopia is the most critically acclaimed animated film of last year followed by Zucchini I think.
