Here are some videos from the Tokyo premiere: There are no incidents during the premiere. I think the Japanese public is enthusiastic to see Scarlett's performance.

Nice!

I'll be surprised if BatB doesn't reach $350m DOM. Movies whose 2nd weekend are $70m+ are all able to reach $400m+ DOM. And I predict that the 2nd weekend will be around 89-93m. Let me hope the Rangers won't affect BatB's performance..

Given that number, I need to say 92.5m for 2nd weekend..

That's a huge number!!

Pardon. @Rth and the Beast

I would say that my prediction is BatB will reach £9.5m followed by Power Rangers with £2.7m. Are my BatB's numbers a bit low for that?

I am from Jakarta, Indonesia.

I predict 11.5m for BatB's Wednesday numbers.

Let me predict: 1. BaTB $92.5m 2. Power Rangers $36m 3. Life $16.5m 4. Kong $14.5m 5. Logan $9.8m 6. CHiPS $9.1m 7. Get Out $8.8m 8. The Shack $3.8m 9. Lego Batman $3.2m 10. Belko $1.9m

I mean, c'mon!! Using GiTS and Lucy as reasons to show Scarlett is a terrible actress is similar to use Aeon Flux and Snow White and the Huntsman as reasons to show Charlize Theron is a terrible actress. Although IMO Scarlett is a better actress than Charlize, at least they are better actors than Sandler (how many positive-reviewed movies do Sandler have till now?) Maybe that IGN user is a Sandler fan, or maybe he's just a guy who doesn't understand the characteristics of a great actor in a certain movie. What a pity he is.

Hahaha!! I mean the IGN user comments below the article of Mamoru Oshii, the original film director, who has no problem with the casting and the live-action.

Yeah! I just saw an IGN user saying that she's absolutely worse than Adam Sandler. I don't understand how he said that. It makes me laugh a little bit.

Oh that's great!! My prediction is around 35-50% RT What do you think about the OW and DOM?? I expect around $30m OW and $75m DOM.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 2. Alien: Covenant 3. Star Wars: The Last Jedi 4. Dunkirk 5. Blade Runner 2049 6. Thor: Ragnarok 7. Spider-Man: Homecoming 8. Coco 9. Wonder Woman 10. Despicable Me 3

Yeah I agree that GiTS will be a box office smash. I predict that the movie will reach $220m+ WW. What do you think??

My prediction for GiTS: $28m OW $69m DOM $200m+ WW I absolutely say that this movie will not reach the Lucy's numbers, but I'd say $200m+ WW is pretty decent.

Oh I see that's why it doesn't make the top 10 of the Japanese box office in 1995. I thought that the original animation was not played in cinemas. I just want to compare the live-action movie's box office performance with the original animation in Japan as the movie comes out.

Nice!!

Oh, so GitS is similar to Akira, Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue, and Paprika. Those films are critically acclaimed by reviewers and bring some influences to the movies like The Matrix (which is influenced by GitS) and Inception (Nolan said that it's inspired by Paprika) but their status is a cult film rather than a box office hit.

Do you think Ghost in The Shell will get to #1 in Japan when it's released? I can't find any real sources regarding to the box office performance of the 1995 original animation in Japan, so I am unsure whether the film will become huge or not.

Do you think it will be big in Japan? I heard that the original animation is a cult film rather than a huge box office hit in Japan, is this true? So, would it affect the box office performance in Japan?

After looking at some sources about the top 10 Japanese box office during the 90s and what I've found in 1995 is that the highest box office performance for Japanese films is the Studio Ghibli's Whisper of The Heart. But, the 1995 original animation of Ghost in The Shell is nowhere to be found in the top 10. Here's the source: http://www.eiren.org/toukei/1995.html (sorry for those who don't understand, the site is Japanese). From this, I feel that the most Japanese did not know the story or the plot of the original animation, which makes me think it's surprised because first I thought that the original animation became a huge box office hit in Japan in 1995, which turned out to be wrong. So, do you think that this movie will become huge during the time it's released in Japan (Apr 7)?
