22 September - after Silver Week 

Thanks! What do you think is the box office prospect of it there?

 

Noting it is 6 months later than the rest of the world and digital is out.. but yet a lot of Jap elements.

¥1.0B Maybe. Hard to predict since previous films aren't big. Like June, September doesn't have big opener so will end up in a good total.

“For about 10 years, until the start of the pandemic, American films were basically supported by Disney,” Otaka says.

 

But the pandemic shut down distribution of nearly all Hollywood films, including Disney’s.

 

“As a result, the Japanese audience for Disney films, which had been quite large, gradually started to fade away,” Otaka says. That is, they kicked the Disney habit, and have been slow to take it up again.

“Japanese people often visited the United States because of their admiration for Americans. In the 1960s and ’70s, American people lived on a completely different level from Japanese.”

 

However, he adds that as Japanese living standards rose, the gap shrank.

 

“Now, young people are not so interested in the U.S.,” he says. “And they call the people who like Hollywood movies ‘otaku’ (nerds). Who could have seen that coming?”

One exception to this trend is the aforementioned Cruise (“He’s been a symbol of America here for more than 20 years since the first ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie”). In today’s Hollywood, however, a star with Cruise’s sort of worldwide popularity has become increasingly rare.

Spoiler

Another factor in Hollywood’s decline, according to Otaka, is the lack of major stars known to even occasional moviegoers: “Japanese fans used to go to the theater to see a certain star, but with the ‘Avengers’ series, who are the actors? You don’t know.”

Spoiler

Otaka posits one final theory as to why Hollywood’s popularity is fading among the fandom here: Japanese audiences are simply less interested in America.

 

Hope all these reasoning are sufficient enough to classify why certain films doesn't works here ~ Only Cruise is the only known figure that can bring legs in live action.
