Japanese box office: "Doraemon: Heroes of the Nobita Universe" won 600 million

The new "Doraemon" won the championship strongly.

With the end of the awards season, the Japanese film market enters its tenth week and ushers in the spring break slot, in which the new theatrical version of Doraemon has always dominated in previous years, and this year is no exception. The 35th commemorative work in the series, Doraemon: Nobita's Cosmic Heroes, topped the list with a strong momentum of 600 million yen, becoming the second-place film in this year's opening performance.

Shochiku's first major play of 2015, Solomon's Perjury: The Incident, ranked third with 100 million in 2012 million, and the results were not as good as expected. Avex's film Adaptation of Girlish Games, "Beautiful Melody Theater Edition", barely squeezed into the tenth place on the list.

The new "Doraemon" won 600 million to win the championship and squeeze out "Sniper"

The national animation "Doraemon" series will almost always win the top spot on the first day of the first release, in commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the series' launch, "Doraemon: Nobita's Cosmic Heroes" has attracted much attention from the beginning. Screened on 365 screens nationwide, the film was watched by 557,310 people over the weekend and grossed 644,735,500 yen at the box office. "Doraemon: The New Nobita's Great Demon Realm ~ Becky and the 5-Person Expedition~" released at the same time last year began with 610 million yen, which is 107% of last year's opening performance this year. The final box office of the previous game was 3.58 billion yen, and the game is expected to exceed 4 billion yen.

The director of this work, Yoshihiro Osugi, is the first time to shoot the "Doraemon" series of movies, the plot is mainly about Doraemon who is making a hero movie, and the people are actually confused with the real "heroes", so they mistakenly hit the "Pokuru Star", and they have to find a way to help the planet solve the upcoming cosmic crisis.

According to the survey data, the gender ratio of the audience group is 57:43, almost half of the points; in the age group, children aged 0-12 account for more than half, and the proportion of parents bringing their children to watch also accounts for 26.7%; in terms of movie motivation, "like Doraemon" accounts for 79%, "Doraemon: Walk with Me" accounts for 12.3% and so on.

Judging from the current Japanese media disclosure data, the film's box office growth rate on weekdays has slowed down significantly, and there has been a significant spike on weekends, which is also closely related to the movie-going group of teenagers. At present, Yahoo Movie Japan gives a score of 3.2 points (out of 5 points), although the box office performance is eye-catching, but because the plot is not too innovative, let the audience think that the film is beginning to go into the limits.

"Solomon's Perjury" ranked third in "Beautiful Melody" at the tenth place

Shochiku produces less movies than Toho and Toei every year, but there are always a few eye-catching highlights. Solomon's Perjury: The Incident, released during spring break, is one of them. Under the screening of 311 screens nationwide, a total of 91,850 people watched the film, and the box office record was 100 million 20,128,100 yen, which was not as good as expected. Previously, some media predicted that the film was based on the readership group, and the box office performance on the first day of the first move should be above 300 million yen, but it seems to be a bit of a failure at present.

Based on Miyuki Miyabe's suspense novel of the same name, the film was directed by Narima, director of "The Cicada of the Eighth Day" and "Incredible Coast Story", and brought together a new generation of actors such as Ryoko Fujino, Kona Ishii, and Shinya Shimizu, as well as big names such as Kuranosuke Sasaki and Makiko Owano. Among them, Ryoko Fujino is a newcomer selected from the Sea of Ten Thousand People, which is also her first screen masterpiece.

The story tells the story of the discovery of juvenile bodies on campus, the surface of a conspiracy hidden in the school dormitory, accompanied by anonymous letters from witnesses, new murder plans, and hype reports, and more and more victims. In a critical moment, Ryoko, an honor student who can write and fight, stands up and sets up a temporary court in the school, gradually uncovering the real conspiracy hidden on the campus.

At present, Japanese film masterpieces seem to be forming a trend, that is, dividing movies into upper and lower episodes, such as last year's "Ranger Sword Heart" and "Parasitic Beast". From the box office data, the initial box office of "Ranger Sword Heart Kyoto Fire" was 592.23 million (438 screens), and the initial box office of "Parasite" (Part 1) was 340.337300 yen (418 screens), but "Solomon's Perjury" was only 102 million, and it is unknown whether the film's score can reach 1 billion. Although there are certain pros and cons to the shooting and release of the film in the upper and lower episodes, as long as the quality of the film is excellent, the audience will still buy it. Fortunately, yahoo Japan's rating of the film has a score of 3.7, which shows that the audience and the media have given positive evaluations.

Produced by avex, "Beautiful Melody Theatrical Edition" barely squeezed into the tenth place, the film was adapted by TV Tokyo last year into a girl-to-girl anime broadcast, due to the good ratings of the animation, the company decided to launch a theatrical version.

In the film released this week, Disney is making a comeback again, "Magical Black Forest" will appear, and it is worth waiting to see whether the film can once again make disney wind sweep Japan like last year's "Sleeping Curse". In addition, "Twinkling Love Live-Action Version" starring Fushi Cangji, Takashi Miike's new work "The Lion Standing in the Wind", and "The Theory of Everything" and "Imitation Game" in the awards season will appear as scheduled.
