The latest Detective Conan movie Black Iron Submarine whatever final gross it ends up with will it be likely either the peak gross for the series or can future films possibly make more?

We'll just have to wait and see. It looked like it might be stabilizing after last year's film (still broke the record in revenue, but missed in admissions), but then this year's film shattered that idea when it earned the second biggest OW (2-day and 3-day) ever in history and surpassed ¥10 billion in just 23 days.

The franchise was slowly growing in the mid 2010s before it saw a big jump in 2016, then another big jump in 2018, and once more this year (2023).

The jump this year is more significant, of course, since it's the first to do over ¥10 billion, and not just a little more, but instead on track to reach ¥13 billion. That's pretty insane. And the fact these films were doing close to ¥10 billion since 2018 every year, and is now well above that mark, is, well, unprecedented, of course, for an annual franchise. It's about to become unprecedented for any franchise when a couple more films get added to the list.

Post Re: Japan Box-Office: Detective Conan Box Office History
Here is the franchise history so everyone can see (on the TOTALS chart) how it started to grow in 2013 after being largely stagnant for ten years prior, then saw a huge jump in 2016, again in 2018, and then what this year's film has done already after 7 weeks.

They've gone from yearly Top 10 contenders, to Top 5 contenders, to now posing a serious challenge for the #1 spot every year.

It will overtake the Wizarding World this week to become the 2nd Highest-Grossing Film Franchise in history, and if the films stay this big every year, it'll take #1 in the next 4-5 years.

Crazy how it's going to more than triple the gross of the Conan film that came 10 years before it (over 3.5x if it finishes at ¥13 billion). I wonder what was responsible for the sudden explosion of interest over these years. I don't recall anything particularly eventful about this year's Conan versus the previous ones either.

Post Re: Japan Box-Office: WKND Numbers (05/26-28); Charts Update
Was there ever a consensus if 2019's Lion King is live-action or animated?

I asked this back then to determine if it belonged on the animated charts (I was against it, but enough were for it for me to add to the Japan animated charts here), and I was just reminded of it again today because the Super Mario Bros. movie is being reported by various news outlets as the second highest grossing animated movie worldwide after Frozen II.

I don't think there was a consensus per se, but I know Disney doesn't consider it animated nor do one of the biggest box office reporting sites.

I'll always consider it as an animation even if it self-identified as live-action. It doesn't even use the motion capture technology!

Haha. Two different opinions already, like before. It's a very annoying film to categorize. Not being listed by Disney as an animated film might be the determining factor for me though. I may remove it from the animated charts.

Can't figure out what exactly is going on but it's definitely external factor seeing as yesterday it was barely up 4% despite national discount day

Funny you posted that because I was just thinking this morning how we have nothing but a 6 month old teaser poster, no trailers or clips, and not even any cast members revealed, for his final film which opens in 6 weeks.

Now it's confirmed that's the intent. They won't be releasing anything(even saying it's not like the book) and have audiences go in totally blind with a teaser poster and title only. Very interesting.

I don't know if it'll create a bigger opening since no one knows anything about it, literally, and will want to be the first to know, or if people will hold off to see what others say first.

I highly doubt about that, first of all, it's not Ghibli's official account, and if we look into the past, the Wind Rises released its first teaser trailer less than a month before release date. As of now we're still more than a month away from How do you live? release date, we could get new promotional materials in the upcoming weeks.

If it happens, it's very, very interesting.

Nothing spent on marketing, no footage at all, zero images, cast unknown, nothing of any sort. It'll need to rely solely on Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki's name.

I'd like to see what happens.

Can anyone guess what's this movie?
Quote:
Suzuki then goes on to contrast this minimalist approach with that of an upcoming American blockbuster. “There’s an American movie…ah, I almost said the title out loud, coming out this summer, about the same time [as How Do You Live?]. So they’ve made three trailers for it, and released them one at a time. If you watch all three, you know everything that’s going to happen in the movie. So how do moviegoers feel about that? There must be people who, after watching all the trailers, don’t want to go see the movie [anymore]. So I wanted to do the opposite of that.”

Mission Impossible, I assume?

I am seeing more reports that Miyazaki has indeed decided to NOT release any images or footage of his final film.

Moviegoers will have to go into it with no preconceptions. I really like this idea. Sometimes we go into films "blind" to a point when we don't look up trailers and avoid them on social media, but how often do we go without even seeing a poster of something?

I don't know what this will do for the box office, I can see it benefitting it (creating more interest to see what his final film even is) or potentially harming it (going to a movie with literally zero information could be too much for some, like families). We'll know in 6 weeks!

Atleast it explains why we've seen absolutely nothing of it, since I was starting to think it would get delayed...

It's not too uncommon for films to wrap up production ~4-6 weeks before release in Japan, and then we get a trailer, new posters/images, etc., in that short window, so it could have just been the case again here (pookpooi was correct with this happening to The Wind Rises back in 2013).

But now we know it's just because Miyazaki doesn't want audiences to go into his final with preconceptions beforehand. You have his name and the title of the movie (which doesn't follow the book apparently either lol) and that's it! Go see it!

This is a good question to ask in a Poll I think. Give me a few.

POLL added.

Question: Would you pay to see a theatrical film with NO plot, trailers, images, posters, casting, etc., revealed beforehand? All you have to go on is the title of the movie and its director.
