The anime “World Tour Screening of ‘Blade of Oni no Ruin’: Sangen Gathering, and Into the Village of the Swordsmith” took the top spot for the first time.

The box office grosses were approximately 1.159 billion yen.

“Legend & Butterfly” is also not a bad performance. After a #1 start in the previous week, it mobilized 92 million, and box-office revenue 1.2 billion yen. It is not a bad film. However, “Blade of the Oni No Kai” and the third place film, the animated feature film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK and “Suzume no Dokkimari” (No. 5) are too amazing. The fifth-place winner, “The SLAM DUNK has a mobilization of 6.8 million and the box office million, and box-office revenue was 10 billion yen. The box-office revenue is approaching 10 billion yen. Makoto Shinkai’s “Suzume no tojikomari” drew 10 million and box-office revenue million and box-office revenue 13.4 billion yen. billion yen.

“Legend & Butterfly” is the first film to be made in Japan since Toei’s foundation in 1970. 70th anniversary of Toei’s foundation. The total cost of the film was about ¥3.5 billion. The total production cost was approximately 2 billion yen. Haruka Ayase was selected to play Nobunaga’s partner, Princess Nohime. Toei estimates the box-office revenue to be 5 billion yen at the box office. Toei is expecting box-office revenue of 5.0 billion yen. Kimura’s previous period film, “A Samurai’s Moment,” grossed 4.1 billion yen. However, if the current situation continues as is, the target will be reached. However, at this rate, it will be difficult to reach the target of 5 billion yen. 

Dramas by Sho Sakurai and Jun Matsumoto also underperforming

In addition to Kim Tak, the casting of talent from Johnny’s Office has been conspicuous recently.

Johnny’s is in the midst of an important period of transition, with the top management being replaced and a number of people leaving the office. Under such circumstances, new and old powerful Johnny’s actors are getting more and more exposure. In dramas, Sho Sakurai played a role in “Daihyoin Sukyo” (Nippon Television Network Corporation), and Jun Matsumoto played a role in NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) Taiga’s “Dou de Ieyasu” (Dare Ieyasu), respectively.

NHK has also produced the morning drama series “Soar!” and last year’s hit “Silent” (Fuji TV),  and Yutaka Yokoyama of “KANJANI ∞”. In addition, “O-oku,” which started in January, also cast Yusho Nakajima and Shunsuke Kazama of “Hey! (a staff member at a commercial key station).

However, it is difficult to say that films starring Johnny’s actors are doing well. Sakurai’s “Daihyoin Sukyo” received a 7 %. However, the ratings for productions starring Johnny’s actors have not been so good. Matsujun’s “Dou de Ieyasu” averaged only about 5% in viewer rating for the first five episodes, 14.5%. and the previous work “Kamakura-dono no 13 of “Kamakura-dono no 1315.4%” for the first five episodes. The high exposure of Japanese actors seems to have backfired.

The high exposure of Johnny’s actors seems to have backfired. When so many Johnny’s actors are cast, viewers tend to think, ‘Another Johnny’s celebrity.‘ I think. Maybe they are getting a little bored.

The Nobunaga movie with Kimu-taku may also be related to the high exposure of Johnny’s actors.

“Even if the box-office revenue is 4 billion yen. If the box-office revenue is much less than 4 billion yen, Toei will be in the red. In the movie industry, sales 45% of the revenue Theaters usually get about 45% of the revenue. “Legend & Butterfly” grossed 3 billion yen, the total production cost of the film would be 2 billion yen. If the box-office revenue of “Legend & Butterfly” exceeds 3 billion yen, it will not be able to recover the total production cost of 2 billion yen.

With the charm of star actor Kimura, “Legend & “Butterfly” is currently struggling. Will the star actor Kimura’s charm be enough to break the current struggling status quo of “Legend & Butterfly”?
