When went so right?
How did The Little Mermaid become such a mega box office international hit despite the haters on Cinemaphile?
Was it Aquafina pulling in the asian audience?

>Asian markets
That's just goalpost moving. It was always about the Chinese market, which makes up a much larger portion of the International ticket sales than Japan.

Not for Disney animated films. Frozen earned $249 million in Japan, compared to $48 million China. On a per-capita basis, Frozen earned 1.5 times the money from each person in Japan than in the US.
Same size as California, but half the population of the entire United States.
Japanese movie goers also have a higher tendency to watch movies they like multiple times in the theater.
>Not for Disney animated films.
>Posts only about Frozen
Why bothering to use Plural at all?
Frozen, Frozen 2, and Moana were bigger in Japan than in China. Movies during 2020-2021 were bigger in China because Japan had more serious nationwide lockdowns at the time. Just before covid, Zootopia was the big outlier that was a decent sized hit in China, but bombed in Japan.
Before Frozen, it was all Japan because Disney movies weren't allowed in China.
Still flopping.
>despite the haters on Cinemaphile?
dude there's like thirty regular posters here
eh it'll make up the difference on streaming within a year and be in profit for 25 years before they remake it again
plus it's shifting merch, it's not like the Flash where the toys are already being sent to special Flash landfill sites (on top of the special Green Lantern landfill sites from 10 years ago)
I'm not seeing any numbers, homie. And remember that movies make less money outside the US.
>eh it'll make up the difference on streaming within a year
How? Are you saying people will stay subscribed because of it or more people will subscribe? Show me numbers

how is japan the world's 3rd largest market if it's land size smaller than the state of califonia?
Where are the $500m, Frickley?
Chinabros how should we cope...

China and Japan aren't the same thing moron
Japan thinks black people are cool, it's china and south korean that are super anti-black.
I actually mentioned this in earlier threads, Japan is TLM's last chance. It won't save the movie from being a flop, but it can soften the blow quite a bit if it has a long run.
Disney is a strong brand in Japan, and they will go see movies again and again for weeks. Aquafina has nothing to do with this at all.
I'm a jap but it's not like LM is popular.
It's more like no one cared about any of LM, Spider-verse and the Flash. Super hero fever died when Endgame hit.
And I doubt my country is the 3rd largest as not so many people go to theaters here these days.
It's only doing 3 million worldwide better than Spider-Verse so it's not really that much of a hit. It's still underperforming compared to past live-action remakes
>vague racial generalizations are OK when we do it
How exactly is Japan the third largest market with only 120m population?
Obvious lies are obvious.
They spend more money.
Here's your "domination," bro.
Also lol at that Flash OW.
>Mario -37%
I can't believe Nintendo ABANDONED Mario in 2023
>the fabelmans 71$
How do you even count such low numbers? That's literally 6 people
>no links
>no data
Stop screenshoting your phone, golem
Don't care. Hate Black folk.
It's still going to lose millions. Also I just saw this today for the first time and it was so boring! Why was it 2 hours long?
>japan the world's 3rd largest market
By capital or by watchers?
Cooz They barely reach $1 Million dollarinos.
This thing should be at a BILLION. For Disney anything else is a flop. Especially when they've been churning out billions for ages. If No Way Home, Top Gun, Avatar and Mario could do it some of these summer flicks should have hit $1 billion+. There's an obvious problem and it ain't audiences. They need to make cooler stuff.
Japan truly are tasteless when it comes to media
Japan only really liked this and Mario. I can understand Mario but the little mermaid was shit so I'm not sure why.
