Quick observations with the important mid-day point (2PM) update coming up in the next hour:

Yo-Kai Watch 2 is remaining nearly flat with its Saturday performance, and since it relies on morning/afternoon showings rather than evening showings, it's likely to break 300,000 once again. It doesn't have to surrender the largest screens to Star Wars VII this afternoon/evening like it did yesterday, so there's room for a Sunday increase, too.

Star Wars VII is performing very nicely, up over Saturday so far, which is quite impressive. It'll need to keep increasing a bit more with each update, however, if it's to win Sunday (or the Weekend) because Sunday evenings aren't as strong as Saturday evenings. Still, it's looking good to at least match its Saturday performance, if not increase upon it slightly, as well.

This weekend is certainly living up to the expectations and hype that began back in July when it was announced they'd be opening on the same weekend.

Saturday 2PM Update:
206,086/307,147 (67.1% capacity) - Yo-Kai Watch 2
124,236/277,990 (44.7% capacity) - Star Wars VII

Sunday 2PM Update:
212,303/303,703 (69.9% capacity) - Yo-Kai Watch 2
138,471/264,148 (52.4% capacity) - Star Wars VII

Excellent, excellent Sunday for both films at the mid-point of the day. Both are probably looking at increases over Saturday, or very minimal decreases (sub-5%) if the evening business ends up being noticeably slower than yesterday.

Both films slowed down as the evening progressed, which isn't surprising since Monday and this upcoming week is still mostly a normal school week in Japan.

Yo-Kai Watch 2 retaining 98% of its Saturday ticket sales, and Star Wars VII with an impressive 94% is still great.

There's the final update still to come this hour, and then I'll post the Weekend Estimates.

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Star Wars vs. Yo-Kai Watch (WKND Ests.
Weekend Estimates (12/19-20)

Gross ¥ ($) / Admissions - Film
¥1,450,000,000 ($12.0 million) / 925,000 - Star Wars: The Force Awakens
¥1,270,000,000 ($10.5 million) / 1,150,000 - Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan!

Star Wars: The Force Awaken's 3-day total should be around ¥1.9/1.95 billion ($15.5-16.0 million) with ~1.2 million admissions. The 3-day total will be the figure that Disney reports as the opening weekend later today, so don't be surprised when actuals closely resemble the estimates tomorrow.

>First weekend to have two ¥1 billion openers.
>Biggest aggregated weekend of all-time, based on estimates, though it's super close (0.2%) since all but one holdover (Orange) took severe drops.

Several charts to come.

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Star Wars vs. Yo-Kai Watch (WKND Ests.
It's been confirmed that Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan! came out on top over the weekend in ticket sales.

The usual location's ticket sales and estimates suggested as such, but now it's official. Japan's weekend rankings are based on admissions, like some European markets (perhaps others), so this will technically be the only market that Star Wars: The Force Awakens didn't debut at #1 despite its huge start.

However, unless actuals are significantly different from the estimates, Star Wars: The Force Awakens should have grossed more over the weekend due to its higher avg. ticket prices.

The second Yo-Kai Watch film is down from its record-setting first film last year, as expected, but the franchise is still proving to be a phenomenon across all forms of entertainment.

3-Day Actual: ¥1,619,340,000 ($13.4 million) / 1,044,330 [958] - Star Wars: The Force Awakens

This is very strong, though certainly lower than expected for the 3-day, I think... Although, it didn't receive a traditional 3-day release. It began playing at 6:30PM on Friday for some reason.

Comparing the openings with the past films won't be perfect since the prequels (Episode II and III anyway) had previews added to their opening weekend, where as Episode VII didn't have any. But, if you consider the early Friday start as its previews, more or less, maybe the comparisons are reasonable:

Opening Weekends (3-days/Previews Included):
¥1,879,423,202 / 1,357,977 [758] - Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
¥1,619,340,000 / 1,044,330 [958] - Star Wars: The Force Awakens
¥1,604,609,245 / 1,138,689 [639] - Star Wars Episode II: Attack on the Clones

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace's opening weekend is unavailable, but it reportedly sold 500,000+ tickets on its first day. If Sunday behaved the same way then as it does today, it should have sold around 1.1/1.2 million tickets on its opening weekend (on par with the others).

So, the franchise is very consistent. And while Episode III is still firmly the franchise's biggest opener, it was also the most frontloaded and the lowest-grosser among the prequels.

Totals:
¥12.70 billion / 8.30 million - Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
¥9.35 billion / 6.80 million - Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
¥9.17 billion / 6.60 million - Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has little to no competition through the New Year and into early/mid-January, so legs should be excellent. It'll probably surpass Episode's II and III (gross and admissions), though Episode I is likely out of reach. We'll see, though, it's not untouchable.

The usual location's ticket sales and estimates suggested as such, but now it's official. Japan's weekend rankings are based on admissions, like some European markets (perhaps others), so this will technically be the only market that Star Wars: The Force Awakens didn't debut at #1 despite its huge start.


Actually it didn't open in first in in South Korea and Vietnam, And in those it it is from the weekend report, so it isn't a "technicality".

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Star Wars vs. Yo-Kai Watch (Actuals)
Good to know that Japan wasn't the oddball out this time at least (like Furious 7). :P

Actuals:

OW: ¥1,057,808,800 ($8.7 million) / 974,557 [434] - Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan!
OW: ¥1,245,023,900 ($10.3 million) / 800,258 [958] - Star Wars: The Force Awakens
3-Day Total: ¥1,619,340,000 ($13.4 million) / 1,044,330 [958] - Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Unfortunately, both opening weekends came in below estimates, and both failed to reach 1 million admissions over the weekend frame. Disney should have just gone with the Saturday release instead of having it in theaters early on the 18th (06:30PM...) to match the rest of the world.

Episode VIII will thankfully be released in July (like the prequels), so they won't need to worry about having it out at the same time as the rest of the world to screw with the opening weekend.

However, the weekend still made history by having two films open above ¥1 billion for the first time ever (and probably the only time it'll ever happen). The aggregated weekend record is in jeopardy with the actuals, but the holdovers may have done enough to give this weekend the all-time record.

I'll have the full Top 10 results up this evening.

This weekend will go down in history as the first, and perhaps the last, time that two films debut above the ¥1 billion milestone on the weekend.

>Star Wars: The Force Awakening managed to fend off the Yo-kai, claiming the top spot in terms of revenue, however, it came in second place in terms of admissions.

The seventh chapter in the Star Wars franchise sold 800,258 tickets over its weekend frame across 958 screens, making it the second-widest release in history (behind The Amazing Spider-Man). Since opening prior to the weekend, at 06:30PM on Friday, The Force Awakens exceeded 1 million admissions with 1,044,330 tickets sold in its first "3 days".

If you include the early Friday showings making up its 3 day total (fair since the prequels have previews included in their openings), its opening on on par with Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones by +01% and trailed Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith by -14%. And, it also delivered the third-highest debut for a Hollywood film this decade (2010-), trailing, though just slightly, Alice in Wonderland by -06% (-04%) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -Part 2 by -04% (-09%) in revenue (admissions).

When all is said and done, Star Wars: The Force Awakens should be able to exceed 7 million admissions, which should be enough to exceed the ¥10 billion ($80 million) milestone, and perhaps go as high as ¥11 billion ($90 million). If it does break ¥10 billion, it'll be the first live-action film since Alice in Wonderland to do it. And it's likely to become the second biggest Star Wars film, behind Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, too.

**********

>Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan! couldn't match the ticket prices from that galaxy from far, far away, settling for second place in terms of revenue, though it did sell more tickets over the weekend giving it the first place ranking on the Japanese weekend charts.

The second film in the Yo-Kai Watch phenomenon sold a whopping 974,557 tickets over the weekend on 434 screens. This a fairly large decline of 34% compared to last year's film, but it's still a staggering number and managed to achieve a strong 59% capacity over the weekend frame.

It achieved the fourth biggest debut for any animated title in ticket sales, behind the first Yo-Kai Watch by -34%, One Piece Film Z by -14%, and Howl's Moving Castle by -12%. And in terms of revenue, it delivered the seventh biggest debut of any domestic film.

It wasn't able to replicate the insane rush to see the first film last year, but I believe it has a strong chance of pulling off stronger legs as a result now that the craze has calmed just a bit this year. Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan! should be on track for around 5 million admissions, and a total between ¥5-6 billion (~$45/50 million).

**********

The holdovers all experienced some expected heavy drops after losing considerable seating/showtimes, except for one.

>Orange delivered an excellent second weekend in the face of two monster debuts, and served as a perfect counter. The shoji manga live-action adaptation appeals primarily to teens/young adults, and this demographic didn't turn up in significant numbers for either Star Wars (adults/seniors) nor Yo-Kai Watch (elementary aged children/families), so it's going to survive this upcoming New Year holiday frame perfectly unharmed.

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Results (Star Wars/Yo-Kai)
I was planning on posting daily estimates for 2016 next month, but I'm going to start early and begin... now! The next two weeks will be more interesting than the beginning/middle of January, anyway.

Monday and Tuesday estimates will be posted in a bit.

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Weekday Estimates (12/21-25)
Note: Schools/Businesses are still in session. Christmas isn't a public holiday, so the box-office won't benefit much until NEXT week when the New Year holiday period begins.

Weekday Estimates (12/21-25)

Monday Estimates (12/21)
¥270,000,000 ($2.23 million) / ¥1,889,340,000 ($15.59 million), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Disney) Day 4
¥85,000,000 ($702,000) / ¥1,142,808,800 ($9.43 million), Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan! (Toho) Day 3
¥44,000,000 ($364,000) / ¥862,839,700 ($7.07 million), Orange (Toho) Day 10
¥30,000,000 ($248,000) / ¥726,911,600 ($6.00 million), Living With My Mother (Shochiku) Day 10
¥24,000,000 ($198,000) / ¥1,940,336,500 ($15.89 million), 007: Spectre (Sony) Day 18

Tuesday Estimates (12/22)
¥245,000,000 ($2.03 million) / ¥2,134,340,000 ($17.62 million), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Disney) Day 5
¥83,000,000 ($686,000) / ¥1,225,808,800 ($10.11 million), Yo-Kai Watch: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan! (Toho) Day 4
¥41,000,000 ($339,000) / ¥903,839,700 ($7.41 million), Orange (Toho) Day 11
¥25,000,000 ($207,000) / ¥1,965,336,500 ($16.09 million), 007: Spectre (Sony) Day 19
¥23,000,000 ($191,000) / ¥749,911,600 ($6.19 million), Living With My Mother (Shochiku) Day 11

Wednesday Preview: Emperor's Birthday (12/23)

Wednesday is going to be a big day for the box office thanks to the holiday falling on ladies' day. It shouldn't trail Sunday's box-office by too much based on morning/afternoon ticket sales.

Yo-Kai Watch 2, in particular, is benefiting from the holiday by outgrossing its Monday and Tuesday totals combined for the day and it's only 12PM. It'll probably go on to gross more than 3x its Monday and Tuesday combined take today, aiming for ¥450 million ($3.5-4 million) or so.

And Star Wars VII is performing strongly, too, and while it'll likely lose to Yo-Kai Watch 2 today in ticket sales again like it did over the weekend; it's performing well enough that its gross should also be around ¥450 million ($3.5-4 million) today.

Wednesday should be the only day that Star Wars VII potentially loses until mid/late January, if not into February.

Also, 2015's final two wide openers - Chibi Maruko-chan the Movie and Creed open today, but they're not doing so well. The former might crack the Top 5, and the latter may reach th Top 10.
