Disney's Frozen - Part 3

Found this on Youtube. It's from a TV show in Japan so it is entirely in Japanese, but you can see what kind of phenomenon Frozen has become in Japan because you see from this clip that Japanese are not just buying CDs of Frozen, but they are also singing Let It Go in Karaoke bars and other places. It's no wonder the movie is still doing stellar business after 5 weeks over there.
 
Domestic and worldwide estimates are up. It looks like they have underestimated the overseas number by about 1 million. They show overseas as a bit over 14 million for the week, but Japan alone did nearly 15 million and holdovers maybe 200k.

Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $399,432,000 35.9%
+ Foreign: $713,100,000 64.1%
= Worldwide: $1,112,532,000

That moves Frozen up to #8 all time worldwide by passing Skyfall. Frozen is just 7 million from #7 LOTR: Return of the King and 11 million from #6 Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Both could be passed next weekend.

Frozen is also less than 3 million from passing Ice Age: Continental Drift ($715,922,939) as the highest overseas grossing animated movie ever.
 
Damn. Beat Avatar like now please. :p
 
lookin good!!

at this pace, it may very well hit $400m by the end of April!!

:woot:
 
The weekend estimates for Frozen in Japan turned out to be way low, but actuals are out now and Frozen has blown by Monsters University.

Actuals:
Weekend 840.25m Yen ($8.2M), -1.2% from Last Weekend
Total 9.284 b Yen ($91M)

There is no doubt the hype for Frozen is enormous, the Japanese singers who dubbed the voices of Anna and Elsa will be singing together on national tv tomorrow and Frozen is absolutely dominating the Japanese iTunes charts. Frozen songs are still taking up the 1-4 spots.

1位　 Let it go 　松たか子 (Japanese)
2位　 Let it go 　Idina Menzel
3位　 For the first time in forever　神田沙也加　松たか子 (Japanese singers)
4位　 Let it go 　May J. (Japanese pop version)
 
How Frozen Should Have Ended. :woot:

For those of you interested, I have a friend who does some costume design work in NYC, and he's gotten to work under some big designers. He worked for the costume designer of Aladdin which just opened on Broadway for example.

He was telling me that he got to attend a reading of the Frozen broadway script, and I asked if they did a reprise of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" when Anna freezes, and he said they did. :)
 
Even more good news from Japan. April 26 is the start of a big Japanese holiday, Golden Week. Frozen would have gotten a nice bump that week the way it's performing, but now it has been announced that Frozen will play a 3D dubbed version on 150 screens that week.

What makes that a big deal is that the current options are 2D dubbed (which accounts for about 80% of the gross for Frozen in Japan) and 2D and 3D subtitled, but only 10% of the subtitled is 3D.
150 screens is a big deal since Frozen is currently playing on just under 500 screens combined for all the versions.
 
Japan should get a Sing Along version as well.
 
Loved this movie, Elsa's my favorite character from the film.
 
There's a chance Frozen could hit $400 million this weekend. It did $48,242 yesterday (actually up 34% from last Tuesday) and should be about $399.6 million going into the weekend. The last 2 weekends have been $399,877 and $385,006 so anything over $399.6 puts it in range, especially with it being a long weekend.

This will also be the weekend Frozen blows past $100 million in Japan and still going strong.

forgot this was a long weekend.

that should help out.
 
I thought this was delightful. I winced and cringed at first as I always do when they start with the ****ing singing, but halfway through I was warming up to it and by the end I was sold. Again.

THEY GET ME EVERY TIME. :cmad:

I will say I don't think it was quite as good as Tangled. At least I thought Tangled was a bit funnier overall.

I LOVE this thing they're doing with the CGI characters drawn in the classic style. Have they announced what the next one is yet?

The next WDAS Princess movie is a ways off, Moana comes out in 2018.

The next WDAS movie comes out in November this year, Big Hero 6. This will be the first Marvel film from Walt Disney Animation Studio (WDAS).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2245084/?ref_=nv_sr_1
 
Disney is also coming out with a Jack in the Beanstalk based film called Giants, expected in 2016.

it looks like it will feature 2 female leads ( as well as 2 male leads ).

A girl from an "upper class" merchant family named Angelina ( who will also the be the center of a love triangle ).

And, a preteen/teen, tomboyish "justice fighter" named Inma.

could Disney decide to make either of those girls their next Disney princess?

who knows.......

oh, and according to the Disney Wiki, the recent films starting with Princess and the Frog are under the "Revival Era."

Frozen, Tangled, and Beauty and the Beast are my top 3 Disney films ( in no particular order ).

likewise, Elsa, Rapunzel, and Belle are my top 3 princesses ( again in no particular order ). They also happen to be the top 3 prettiest princesses, imo.

Frozen did $47,469 on Thursday for a total of $399,619,073.

I think $400 million will be a photo finish on Sunday, within a few thousand either way.

Interestingly, every day this week was higher than last week, solid "small theater count" legs.

In Japan Frozen is at $96.5m heading into the weekend after another solid round of weekdays. Weekend projections are pretty wild due to Detective Conan opening this weekend (Japanese animated movie, there is a long running TV series and they release a movie on this weekend every year) which could be some competition.
Estimates are ranging from $6.4m to $7.8m, which is a pretty big range.

After this weekend we get the 3D dubbed version expansion, the sing-a-long and the Golden Week national holiday to help boost the numbers, although there are some big movies opening during this period like Captain America 2 and TASM 2.

The soundtrack is also breaking record, after tying The Lion King for the most weeks at #1 for an animated movie at 10, Frozen will have the record to itself next week with its 11th week at #1. In its 22nd week on the charts Frozen is expected to sell 225k - 250k albums, it's single best week so far. 11 weeks at #1 is the 3rd best of any soundtrack ever after The Bodyguard at 22 weeks, and Titanic at #2 with 16 weeks.
Frozen sales jumped thanks to the brilliant move of the album going on sale at Starbucks just in time for Easter.
