I haven't seen a complete Japanese box office list for March 14th-16th, but, according to Hollywood Reporter, the new Doraemon movie dropped to second place thanks to Frozen's record-setting debut for a Disney film in Japan, with 986.4 million yen ($9.6 million US).

I'm not sure if the Disney record includes Pixar films, though, or just Walt Disney Animation Studios films.

Frozen is doing very well in South Korea too, where it became the 1st animated film to top 10 million admissions (South Korea only has a population of 50 million) and 2nd only to Avatar among imported films and 9th among all-time films, with 6 out of 10 watching it in English, meaning a lot of not-kids. The soundtrack is topping the music charts too, with many fans and K-celebrities making covers of the song "Let It Go" and Ice Queen Yuna Kim skating to it (I particularly like this guitar instrumental).

$9.6M would put it just behind Finding Nemo's $10.3M

BTW here's the song in 25 languages:

Just Walt Disney Animation Studios films. The highest grossing movie from that list is 'Dinosaur' with 4.9 billion yen. Frozen will easily gross more.
