A $12m weekend looks locked. Sunday is already the biggest day in Frozen's run and we only have the numbers up until 7 pm. Its biggest 2 days and biggest weekend coming in its 8th weekend, now that's impressive. Golden Week still has 2 days left before numbers go back to normal, although "normal" for Frozen in Japan is damned impressive.
So we are looking at a $12m weekend and $27m for the past week. The total as of today should be $145m-$146m and still going strong. At this point I can't see it missing $200m now, and nobody knows how high it could go.
Only 2 movies have ever made $200m in Japan, Spirited Away (230m) and Titanic (201.4m), Frozen should end up at least #2 all time for Japan with a real shot at #1 now. Not even the most optimistic Frozen fan envisioned numbers like this. Japan was the last market to get Frozen, it's only fitting that it has its most impressive run there, even more impressive than its $400m domestic and $76m in South Korea.
