Japan Box Office Report – April 7th/8th

"Doraemon" / "SPEC~Ten~" / "Bokura ga Ita"

As expected last week, “SPEC~Ten~“, “Titanic 3D” and “The Artist” rearranged the top 10 of the weekend box office chart, with SPEC~Ten~ even pushing “Doraemon” from the top.
“SPEC~Ten~“, starring Toda Erika and Kase Ryo, opened on 279 screens and made it onto the top position for the weekend chart. It was seen by 351,473 people and recorded a revenue of 468,705,300 Yen (5.75 million USD). Looking at this result, the big goal for this movie should be to crack revenues of 3 billion Yen (36.86 million USD).
“Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles ~Animal Adventure~“, which had to step down to second after being on the top for five consecutive weekends, already cracked the 3 billion Yen mark and recorded over 3,000,000 viewers. While “Bokura ga Ita Zenpen” is currently at half of that with 1,500,000 viewers.
The 3D version of the epic “Titanic” opened in at fourth place and attracted 50,971 people (470 screens). Its revenue totals up to 86,925,000 Yen (1.06 million USD).
The seventh position featured the opening of the third new and award-winning French movie “The Artist“.
