EDIT: I meant billion, sorry.

Zoo needs only $42million to top the Billion Mark. And it ALL depends on it's run in Japan. Zoo was #1 last weekend in it's 3rd weekend, with $28million grossed so far. I've heard that it will have a long, leggy run in Japan with virtually no competition til July, so if Zoo continues to do well, Japan will push it to the Billion MarkAtlantica wrote:Any news if the movie is close to a billion world wide yet ?

Japan, according to Box Office Mojo's data, had a drop for the weekly total ($7 million), but a rise in the weekend total ($4.2 million). With the weekend showing strong, it will hopefully mean that the previous week was a one off and this weeks totals will hopefully go back up. Zootopia is maintaining its number 1 Box Office position in Japan quite easily so far. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan ... =20&p=.htm It will only need to make another $20 million (give or take) from Japan to hit a billion and that's not taking into account any other international numbers. Probably 2 to 3 weeks, unless the weekly Japanese totals don't rise, then maybe 4 or 5 weeks.
It looks more like your standard talking animal flick. I would say that the gorillas' story is the most interesting due to the fact that he's trying to get away from a life of crime. However, from the looks of things they are going to jumble together so many storylines that it could hurt the movie. Overall, it does feel like a poor man's Zootopia due to the fact that it plays straight what you see in every other anthro animal movie. In Zootopia, the writers went into detail how the world was a place created by animals for animals instead of just replacing our normal human world with talking animals. And of course the thing that sets Zootopia from most animal movies, is the fact it emphasizes that only mammals who are not apes or marine mammals have gain sentience. Unlike any other animal movie, Zootopia fully goes into detail what would happened if humanity never came to be and mammals gained human sentience.DisneyEra wrote:The Full trailer for Illumination's SING!

So the numbers have been corrected for Japan. $48,351,225 total, which is $7,028,673 for the week and $3,979,600 for the weekend. This is around the same amount as last week (for the week), so it has been stable for the last three weeks at around $7 million per week ($6.4 million for the first of these).Posted on Tue May 31, 2016 10:50 am, Hogi Bear Originally wrote:So good news, according to Box Office Mojo, Zootopia has hit $2,147,483,647 in Japan. Or maybe someone can see the future? Anyway, reality is that it's probably meant to be $47,483,647. So that will be just over $6 million for the week. $1 billion will probably take a little longer than the end of this week then.
According to the chart, every film in the top 5 made over $100 million this week! No doubt it will get fixed soon, when they realise something has gone wrong. It hasn't changed the numbers for domestic or international on their website.
