Post Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Actuals; Charts Updated!
I'm back... for a week. Tomorrow, I'll post the Weekend Actuals for the last two weeks, as well as the updated Chart Updates. I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to provide regular updates during Obon Festival this year, since it's typically the most exciting week at the box office.

I'll be away next weekend, too, so numbers will be postponed again, but will be back full-time beginning in September and throughout most of October. I will, however, barely be available here for most of November due to my JLPT being on December 1st; it'll require almost all of my attention.

____________

enzo1988 - Send me all of the films from the 1960s you want me to gather admissions for ASAP -- I'll have far less time than usual to do this, so get them to me early.

Irrischano - PM me any remaining actors/actresses pre-1980 that you want for your domestic highest-grossing actors/actress data -- likewise, I'll have less time to do this in the future.

Post Re: Japan Box Office: WKND Actuals/Chart Updates (Last 2 Wee
It's good since it opened on a Friday, but also a little disappointing. Its opening weekend was 6% higher than The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but 23% lower than The Amazing Spider-Man.
However, the first Amazing Spider-Man wasn't a Friday release and didn't really have much holiday support being a June release, and its sequel nearly outgrossed it.

Based on the past week, I have Homecoming outgrossing both of them and continuing the streak of exceeding ¥3 billion+ at the box office -- a milestone that only Spider-Man films (all of them), along with the two Avengers films, have been capable of among Marvel/DC films.

This is the post-Obon Festival Weekend, so drops are typically high -- unsurprisingly since Obon Week (Mon-Fri) can deliver grosses more than double a films' previous weekend gross, which was the case for most holdovers this year.

High & Low 2: End of Sky came in a little lower than its predecessor by around 15%, but that'll be enough to take the #1 spot in the post-Obon Festival weekend. The first film was very frontloaded, so I'm sure this one will be, too, especially since it opened at the end of Summer. I wouldn't expect more than ¥1.5 billion (~$15 million).

Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom? delivered a solid start, but its legs will be the focal point of its performance. It's the type of animated film that can develop incredible legs, over a 10 multiplier, but audience scores I've seen are very mixed... For now, I'd say a ¥2 billion (~$20 million) total is likely, but we'll have to wait and see where this goes.

Despicable Me 3 becomes the highest-grossing non-Disney/Pixar imported animated film of all-time, and will become the first to ever reach ¥6 billion (~$55 million) or maybe even ¥7 billion (~$65 million). Illumination couldn't have hoped for more, and this result that's comfortably above the blockbuster milestone puts them on the same level as, if not above, Disney Animation/Pixar now in the market.

Spider-Man: Homecoming debuted slightly higher than The Amazing Spider-Man 2 last week, and due to the holidays, should remain ahead of it and eventually outgross it, along with The Amazing Spider-Man. Aside from the two Avengers films, the only Marvel/DC films to gross over ¥3 billion (~$30 million) have been Spider-Man films (all of them), and Homecoming will likely continue the streak.

I Want To Eat Your Pancreas delivered an excellent post-Obon Festival weekend drop, and will effortlessly achieve the most-impressive run this Summer in terms of legs (already near a 9 multiplier after just 4 weeks). It's likely headed for a total above ¥3 billion (~$30 million), which would give it a multiplier of almost 12.

Transformers: The Last Knight still can't stabilize and will end up as the lowest-grossing film in the franchise with around ¥2 billion (~$20 million).

Pokemon: I Choose You! is on the cusp of ¥3 billion and whether it hit the mark over the weekend or in the next couple days, it'll become the first film in the franchise since 2013 to reach the milestone. I don't think it'll quite make it to ¥3.5 billion (~$32/33 million), but the Pokemon Company and Toho has to be pleased with how well it recovered versus the last three/four films in the series.

Gintama continues to perform very well, and will settle for about ¥4 billion (~$36/37 million); exceeding the milestone will depend on the final week of summer weekdays. It's the highest-grossing domestic live-action film this year, and it'll be tough to top.

Mary and the Witch's Flower held steady in its seventh weekend, and post-Obon Festival weekend, and will soon exceed the ¥3 billion milestone. Overall, its performance has been a bit underwhelming all around, and certainly isn't the result that Studio Ponoc (comprised of former Studio Ghibli staff) was wanting. It's aiming for about ¥3.5 billion ($32/33 million), which is "good", but barely to qualify as a mild success.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales remains in the Top 10 in its eighth weekend of release, which will probably be its last there. The fifth film in the Pirates franchise is still currently the lowest-grossing in the series, but I think it has just enough left in the sails to exceed the first film's ¥6.8 billion total. So, a total near ¥7 billion ($62/63 million) appears to be the landing spot and that should be enough to make it the #1 film of Summer 2017... unless Gru and his minions survive the post-Summer and manage to sink the ship.

Baby Driver debuted this weekend, ranking 14th with a gross of ¥43,177,500 ($395,000) on 30,363 admissions across 40 screens. It's a solid result, but expansions are very rare outside of major overperformers, so I'd expect a total around ¥250 million ($2-2.5 million).

Full Weekend Actuals will be posted tonight.

High & Low 2: End of Sky came in a little lower than its predecessor by 14%, selling 266,064 admissions across 314 screens over the weekend frame, and 296,471 admissions since opening on Friday. The first film was very frontloaded, so I'm sure this one will be, too, especially since it opened at the end of Summer. I wouldn't expect more than ¥1.5 billion (~$15 million).

Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom? delivered a solid second place debut, selling 220,018 admissions over the weekend frame across 299 screens, and 354,753 admissions since opening on Friday.

For now, I'd say a ¥2 billion (~$20 million) total is likely, but we'll have to wait and see where this goes.

Despicable Me 3 became the highest-grossing non-Disney/Pixar imported animated film of all-time, and will become the first to ever reach ¥6 billion (~$55 million) or maybe even ¥7 billion (~$65 million). After five weeks in release, the third film -- in the recently announced highest-grossing animated franchise of all-time worldwide -- has sold over 4.7 million admissions. Illumination couldn't have hoped for more, and this result that's comfortably above the blockbuster milestone puts them on the same level as, if not above, Disney Animation/Pixar now in the market.

Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to outpace both Amazing Spider-Man films, and is on its way to a ¥3 billion+ (~$30 million) total. It'll become the sixth Spider-Man film to reach this milestone, and aside from the two Avengers films, the overall Spider-Man series is the only Marvel/DC franchise to reach said milestone -- very impressive, and interest remains high for the friendly-neighborhood Spider-Man in the market.

I Want To Eat Your Pancreas delivered an excellent post-Obon Festival weekend drop, and will effortlessly achieve the most-impressive run this Summer in terms of legs (already near a 9 multiplier after just 4 weeks).

Post Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Actuals; Charts Updated!
2017 has tied the record for year with most films above ¥4 billion, with 2006, and if Gintama can get there (50/50 chance), then it will break the record. There are still 3+ months to go as well, so even if Gintama misses, there's plenty of time for another film this year to do it.

Dozens of long-standing records dating back to the mid-2000s and earlier have been broken in the past few years, and this one would be yet another to add to the growing list.

It's going to be a close battle this weekend between Sekigahara and Wonder Woman. I'm expecting the former to probably come out on top in terms of admissions, but the latter's higher avg. ticket price could be enough to earn it the top spot in terms of revenue.

Sekigahara is the latest film from director Masato Harada, adapted from the novel by Ryotaro Shiba. The story tells the tale of the decisive Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, which marked the end of the Sengoku Era and later established the Edo period (1603-1868) under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate.

And you all know about Wonder Woman already. Compared to other recent DC films its pre-sales and morning/afternoon ticket sales are slightly behind, ~5-10%, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, so it'll likely post a similar debut.

Till a few years ago, you could be sure that animated junks were destined to a huge flop in Japan, with Shrek 2 being the only exception I remember (but that had the status of phenomenon, and still only made 2.5B Yen or so if I'm not mistaken). Then Brave bombed, Inside Out disappointed, Dory made considerably less than Monsters University despite being a much better film and the sequel of a movie with a bigger status, and the farts of Illumination became more and more successful. Is there any possible reason behind this "conformist" degradation, or all we can say is "it happened"?

I had been writing Illumintations' success off as a result of the minion characters managing to catch on among Japanese children. However, The Secret Life of Pets happened, then Sing beat that, and now Despicable Me 3 is doing numbers that would have been impossible just a couple years ago for a non-Disney/Pixar imported animated film.

I'm sure the minions helped Illumination achieve recognition in the market due to their surprising appeal to children -- surprising because absolutely nothing from Dreamworks or any other non-Disney/Pixar animated studio ever caught on in the market. Dreamworks and smaller animation studios, such as Blue Sky, can't even find distributors in Japan anymore and haven't had a true theatrical release since 2013.

But I'm also thinking Disney/Pixar themselves are also inadvertently involved in Illuminations' success. I'll explain: After the release of Toy Story 3, Pixar has released nothing but films that have received lukewarm reviews and mixed audiences scores. Brave, in particular, was a major mishap and I think it may have "damaged" the brand it some way. Inside Out, which was a return to form for Pixar in most of the world still failed to get the studio back on track in Japan with it being compared to domestic material, and reviews/responses being a lot weaker than anticipated.

Monsters University and Finding Dory achieved blockbuster status in the market, but were down compared to their predecessors (Dory, especially, dropping almost 40% compared to Nemo).

Pixar's "mistakes" and decline in Japan has allowed Walt Disney Animation Studios to finally find an audience in Japan (only Aladdin, The Lion King, and Dinosaur succeeded in the market prior to recent years), but it appears that audiences aren't completely satisfied with Walt Disney Animation Studios either, and are now finding enjoyment in Illumination, younger/family audiences in particular.

I'm going to post a list of Highest-Grossing Non-Disney/Pixar Imported Animated Films in Japan later tonight, and Illumination's dominance of that list now is astonishing.

Highest-Grossing Non-Disney/Pixar Imported-Animated Films (2000-)

¥5.59 billion - Despicable Me 3 (2017) [After 5 Weeks]
¥5.21 billion - Minions (2015)
¥5.07 billion - Sing (2017)
¥4.24 billion - The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
¥2.50 billion - Despicable Me 2 (2013)
¥2.50 billion - Shrek 2 (2004)
¥2.27 billion - Shrek (2001)
¥2.05 billion - Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (2012)
¥2.00 billion - Kung Fu Panda (2008)
¥1.95 billion - Ice Age (2002)
¥1.88 billion - Shark Tale (2005)
¥1.55 billion - Shrek the Third (2007)
¥1.45 billion - Happy Feet (2007)
¥1.40 billion - Robots (2005)
¥1.20 billion - Despicable Me (2010)
¥1.17 billion - Puss in Boots (2012)
¥1.10 billion - Over the Hedge (2006)
¥1.08 billion - Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)
¥1.05 billion - The Polar Express (2004)
¥1.02 billion - Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2009)
¥1.00 billion - Corpse Bride (2005)
¥1.00 billion - Shrek Forever After (2011)

Illumination is the only studio with any film on this list after 2012.

Needless to say, Illumination has completely obliterated the "competition", and is in now in the same league as Disney/Pixar (even beating them in the last two years). This list used to be "competitive" among non-Disney/Pixar films, but a single studio will likely occupy the Top 10 (maybe even beyond) come 2020/2021, most likely.

This list always disappoints me because of how How to Train Your Dragon failed to succeed, despite the film receiving excellent reviews in the market. It gained a bit of a following after solid home video sales, and director Dean DeBlois tried to get the sequel a theatrical release, but by 2013 nothing from Dreamworks or smaller imported animation studios could find distributors and haven't since.

Sekigahara, the latest film from director Masato Harada, adapted from the novel by Ryotaro Shiba, sold an impressive 312,431 admissions over the weekend on 360 screens. This is a nice opening, one that should be enough to get the historical tale near a ¥2.5 billion ($22/23 million) total. The story tells the tale of the decisive Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, which marked the end of the Sengoku Era and later established the Edo period (1603-1868) under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Wonder Woman debuts in second place, selling 182,092 admissions over the weekend frame across 596 screens and 257,266 since opening on Friday. The opening is decent, but heading into the weekend it was performing almost on par with its DCU predecessors, yet came in noticeably lower than them in the end (32% behind Suicide Squad; 28% behind Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice).

Legs are really never good for Marvel/DC films (aside from Spider-Man films) no matter their reviews or audience reception - they simply don't have any appeal to casual moviegoers in the market - so I'd expect Wonder Woman to finish with around ¥1.3/1.4 billion ($12/13 million).

Despicable Me 3 continues to add to its incredible total, having easily become the highest-grossing non-Disney/Pixar imported animation film of all-time in the market. There's little doubt now that it'll also surpass Detective Conan: Crimson Love Letter to become the highest-grossing animated film of 2017, as well as the highest-grossing film of Summer 2017. The third film in Illumination's blockbuster series is aiming for a total above ¥7 billion (~$65 million) on over million admissions.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is struggling to hold on as it experienced another 40%+ drop. It opened higher than The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but if it doesn't begin to stabilize a bit in the next week or two, it could end up finishing below the Amazing-Spider-Man films, and possibly miss the ¥3 billion milestone - a mark that every other Spider-Man film has achieved, as well as a mark that is almost exclusive to Spider-Man films only among Marvel/DC films.

Pokemon: I Choose You is now comfortably above the ¥3 billion milestone, becoming the first film since 2013 to reach the mark. It has sold over 2.7 million admissions after seven weeks in release.
