It is already playing in Japan since the 18th so far it made $31.3 million dollars there.  So it will more then likely not even come close to what The Phantom Menace made there.

 

True, but then again it has only been 10 days of sales. It may have legs that bring double sales, although I do agree I don't see it doing PM or Frozen numbers. 

 

Star Wars was so huge in Japan, Revenge of the sith has the all time opening weekend record there, I don't understand what went wrong with TFA, maybe they were disappointed with the prequels to a level that it caused the hype for TFA to diminish a lot? Who knows, hopefully it has legs as movies in Japan nowadays are known for there legs, JW in its opening made less than 10% of it's total run there, Furious 7 and MI:RN did similar percentage wise as well,  AoU did do a bit worse though with 25% coming in it' opening, although it being the holidays in Japan, I'm sure TFA will un more like JW then like AoU. I'm thinking it can get 80-100 million.
