TOKYO - ' Frozen' won its fifth straight weekend at the Japanese box office, earning $8.25 million on April 12-13, a drop of only 1% from the weekend before.
In the 31 days since its release, the pic's cume has climbed to $90 million on 7.56 million admissions. This surpasses the $84.5 million for the year's former B.O. champ, the WWII kamikaze drama ' The Eternal Zero.'
If 'Frozen' keeps going at this pace, raking in nearly $3 million a day, it could finish Golden Week, a holiday-studded period from late April to early May, with nearly $150 million.
'Frozen' only narrowly beat ' Crows: Explode,' the third episode in the Crows Zero Japanese action series. With Toyoda Toshiaki this time in the director's chair, replacing Miike Takashi, it took $2.89 million from some 300 screens.
Among 'Frozen''s other soon-to-be-released challengers are 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and the latest installment in the enduringly popular 'Detective Conan' kids' animation series.
