Godzilla is probably the exception in that it was a success by Japan BO standards, although there's still the trend that Western adaptations do much worse than their Japanese counterparts. Shin Godzilla (released last year) made 2.5x what Godzilla 2014 grossed in Japan. I would call Dragonball: Evolution a bomb in Japan considering the latest DBZ animated movie made $31 million.

 

Dragonball: Evolution was a bomb literally everywhere. My point was it was proportionally much less of a bomb in Japan than in NA. Also I've updated the post since you quoted it - Shin Godzilla was a blockbuster but the 2014 Godzilla did MUCH more business in Japan than any actual Japanese Godzilla movie of the 21st century before it. How many other examples of relatively recent Westernized Japanese properties released theatrically in Japan are there? You could look at the J-Horror remake boom of the last decade but most of those outside of The Ring got tiny limited releases in Japan and make for an awful comparison.

Cool. Would you recommend it, I own a PS4 and New3DS and am curious about purchasing one.

Yes. I might suggest waiting until Splatoon 2 or FE Warriors drops since they'll probably have a bundle by then.

 

Also avoid 1-2 Switch unless it's on sale

Tele. 

 

He's old and frail so a perfect target to attack.

Have a feeling GITS is going to majorly bomb at my theatre. Im personally only predicting our equivalent of a 10M opening weekend here, but I may go up tomorrow (I don't have the actual bookings I'm just guessing that we will get it).

 

Boss Baby I could see pulling in some decent business; I have it at 41.8M here, which is pretty close to what I think it will do at the domestic box office.

Shin Godzilla won best picture in Japan for 2016!!!!

 

Godzilla has new life now. With the Hollywood MonsterVerse, the Anime trilogy and potentially $hin Godzilla 2... It's a good time to be a fan of the character.

GGPR was a huge flop in Canada and made all its money in the states? 

 

Is that what this means?

Honestly as much as I loved it, I wished Anno finished Evangelion 4.0 before doing Shin Godzilla

IDK it has to be when someone aggressively stanns for a movie, and I won't be infected until at least August.
