Is Shinobi's Country actually like what I'm imagining .... the old 90s ninja game, Shinobi?

No.
It's a fictional period drama, based on a novel, that takes place during the Sengoku Period (1500s), about a ninja who starts a war between the ninja of the Iga province and the army of Nobunaga Oda.

Re: Japan Box Office: Weekday Estimates (07/03-07)
Mary and the Witch's Flower opens today, and Toho is giving it a very wide release; the widest domestic release of 2017 so far. The film, directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi (Arrietty, When Marnie Was There), is the first from Studio Ponoc which was founded by former Studio Ghibli producer Yoshiaki Nishimura, and consists of other former Studio Ghibli staff and animators.
Studio Ghibli exited film production in 2014.
I'll have some pre-sale information late this evening followed by the Weekend Forecast.

Hi corpse, any data on how much Spirited Away and Frozen made on home video sales in Japan? does the revenue generated by home video sales added to the worldwide gross or there's another list for it? I bet YN will top this one as well
Home video sales don't get added into box office gross. Two different things reported by different companies in different ways.
But it definitely won't be anywhere near the top as far as home video sales go. Spirited Away, last I tried to work it out, ended up somewhere around 4.1 million units sold across all releases. Frozen has sold a bit under 2.5 million.
Kimi no Na wa can't be estimated easily right now. Amazon Ranking Stalker (http://rankstker.net/index_news.cgi) is currently the go-to source for estimating anime disc sales but it's mostly intended for late night TV series that sell a few hundred or thousand (or at best tens of thousands) of units per volume, not mainstream mega-hits that consistently rank in the top 10. (Should clarify that while it's based on Amazon ranking, its calibrated to predict overall first week sales as reported by Oricon, not just sales at Amazon.)
However, it is within the realm of possibility that KnNw tops out below 400k, or about 1/10th of Spirited Away. Stalker's estimate for first week sales at the moment is 291,474. There's reasons to believe that's low, and KnNw should have a strong long tail. Since Stalker isn't intended for releases of this size, it could be wildly off! But we should probably be very surprised if it gets to a million, let alone remotely approaching Spirited Away.
(NOTE: The above numbers are all based on Oricon reports, and while they're all we've got to go by unless publishers publicly report shipments, it's well known that their estimates do not reflect the full sales of any given DVD/BD release. Any given Oricon DVD/BD number could be 1/2 of the actual number shipped by the publisher, though that can vary a lot. And the shipped number matters most because that's what the publisher gets paid for.)
Thanks for the reply bruh, let's see

Most films make over 50% of their gross after their third/fourth week of release. It's performing just fine.

First, note that drops this weekend are difficult to predict since they're coming off a weekend that had a nationwide discount ticket day (last Saturday). So, admissions for Saturday, and the weekend frame itself, will be down considerably but the drops in revenue will better than they suggest. Overall, drops tend to be higher than average over post-discount weekends.
>Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales looks like it's going to defend its #1 position atop the box office in its second weekend, though it does face a serious contender from the hands of many former Studio Ghibli members.
>Mary and the Witch's Flower may have to settle for a second place debut based on pre-sales and morning/afternoon ticket sales, but if it comes in above ¥400 million, I'd consider it a win regardless. A debut above ¥400 million would be higher Hiromasa Yonebayashi''s previous film When Marnie Was There; it'd also come in higher than other notable non-Miyazaki Ghibli films as well, such as From Kokuriko Hill and The Tale of Princess Kaguya.
>Beauty and the Beast will be enjoying a twelfth weekend in the Top 10, although this will also be its last weekend there and possibly in wide release as well. Next weekend is a holiday weekend and also marks the first weekend of Summer Vacation, and with it comes seven or eight wide openers and 25+ more limited releases.

I'll provide a mid-day update in 3-4 hours, which will include an admission comparison for Mary and the Witch's Flower against Studio Ghibli's most recent films.

Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Forecast (07/08-09)
A few things about the state of this thread over the next month or so (and later in the Fall):
July 10th-13th: I'll be out of state visiting relatives. August 4th-13th: I'll be on vacation (hallelujer). August 24th-28th: I'll be in California for the first Crunchyroll Expo.
I won't be dead... I just won't be posting updates in this thread during these times.
And finally, I'll be visiting this thread and updating it quite sparingly in November and the first week of December (maybe just once a week). I'm taking my first JLPT on December 3rd in Washington, DC, and will be using the weeks/months leading up to it with minimal distractions since only 30-40% of examinees pass.

Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Forecast (07/08-09)
At the mid-day point, Mary and the Witch's Flower is tracking ~41% ahead of 2014's When Marnie Was There.
If it remains up by 40% or so for the remainder of the day, and tomorrow, it could reach 400,000 admissions for the weekend, enough to exceed ¥500 million ($4.5 million). A debut near or over that mark during this time of year would be enough for a gross over ¥4 billion ($35 million), and ¥5 billion ($45 million) wouldn't be unrealistic either.
It's still unlikely to dethrone Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales from the #1 spot this weekend, but it's certainly a debut to be satisfied with.

Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Forecast (07/08-09)
It's incredibly early and nearly impossible to say based on a single day or weekend, but it appears positive - just not very positive. It's averaging 3.5/5 ratings from audiences on various online movie sites, and responses on twitter are mostly fine.
Its Saturday admissions ended up being up 35% versus 2014's When Marnie Was There. It slowed down a little in the evening/night, indicating it's skewing younger (not a bad thing).
Depending on how Sunday behaves, its weekend will likely fall between 350,000-400,000 admissions for a gross of ¥450-500 million ($4-4.5 million). I don't believe an opening in this range is anything to be disappointed about. It's not a Studio Ghibli film, yet it's still going to debut higher than all but two non-Miyazaki Ghibli films (Arrietty and Tales from Earthsea).
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales played very well in the evening/night as it's been doing since opening, assuring itself a second weekend at #1.

Re: Japan Box Office: Weekend Estimates (07/08-09)
Yep, plenty. Next weekend is a holiday weekend and the start of Summer Vacation. And in mid-August there's Obon Festival (the strongest week of the year).
Ocean Day - July 17th Summer Vacation - July 17th-August 31st Obon Festival - August 11th-20th
The middle of July through the end of August are the strongest 6 weeks for the box office, and why 25+ wide releases are scheduled in a six week period every year. Half of the yearly Top 10 are regularly July or August releases.

It's incredibly early and nearly impossible to say based on a single day or weekend, but it appears positive - just not very positive. It's averaging 3.5/5 ratings from audiences on various online movie sites, and responses on twitter are mostly fine.
Its Saturday admissions ended up being up 35% versus 2014's When Marnie Was There. It slowed down a little in the evening/night, indicating it's skewing younger (not a bad thing).
Depending on how Sunday behaves, its weekend will likely fall between 350,000-400,000 admissions for a gross of ¥450-500 million ($4-4.5 million). I don't believe an opening in this range is anything to be disappointed about. It's not a Studio Ghibli film, yet it's still going to debut higher than all but two non-Miyazaki Ghibli films (Arrietty and Tales from Earthsea).
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales played very well in the evening/night as it's been doing since opening, assuring itself a second weekend at #1.
I don't think WOM will play any role in its long run, it's pretty average as you said and I had higher expectation since I liked his previous works

No, but that doesn't mean Dead Men Tell No Tales didn't have a good hold (it did). On Stranger Tides had an incredible second weekend hold (single digit drop), but May and July are very different times of the year - one is one of the weakest months of the year, while the other is one of the strongest.

>Confessions of a Murdererbecame Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film of 2017 so far, and has sold over 1.5 million admissions after five weeks in release.
>John Wick: Chapter 2 couldn't make the Top 5, but it was also distributed by an independent studio and was playing on just 155 screens. So, taking that into account, I'd say its opening is fairly good. The film sold 76,706 admissions after three days in release.

“Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.” “We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.” “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” “You have to pretend you get an endgame. You have to carry on like you will; otherwise, you can't carry on at all.” "Paper is dead without words / Ink idle without a poem / All the world dead without stories."
