Chapter 653: Movie-Watching Frenzy

Hanging up the phone, Kiyoshi Sakamoto smiled at Yui Aragaki's concerned gaze.

This made Aragaki Yui a little anxious, frowned, patted Sakamoto Kiyoshi's arm lightly, and urged: "Don't just smirk, what's going on?"

"1.4 billion!"

“1。。。 1.4 billion ?!!"

This number directly made Aragaki Yui's pupils dilate instantly, and she looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with her mouth slightly open.

"Well, 800 million on the first day, 600 million on the next day, adding up, that's 1.4 billion, I... ”

"Great!"

Before Sakamoto Kiyoshi finished speaking, Aragaki Yui shouted, and the whole person, like a huge baby bear, hugged Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

In the face of this sudden attack, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was a little caught off guard for a moment, but the body temperature from his girlfriend made him come back to his senses, stretched out his hands, hugged Aragaki Yui in his arms, and nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

It's great to have you by your side ...

。。。。。。

Box office results, out!

In the case of the right time, place and people, "Those Years" is like a black ship at the end of the Edo period, breaking the closed shogunate, and also shattering the records of its predecessors!

Within two days of the first week of release, "Those Years" broke many records with a box office score of 1.4 billion, and proudly achieved the highest box office record for the premiere of a Japanese film in history (Saturday and Sunday)!

You must know that the masterpiece "Spirited Away", which has created many records in the history of Japanese films, had a box office of only 1.6 billion three days before its premiere!

In other words, even if the box office is not good on the third day, or even half discounted, it will not stop "Those Years" from breaking the record held by "Spirited Away" for the highest box office in Japan for three days of its premiere!

Sure enough, on the third day of release, although the box office fell again, it only won 300 million box office.

However, "Those Years" still relied on the strength of the weekend and two days, replacing "Spirited Away" with a box office of 1.7 billion, achieving the highest box office record for the first three days of Japanese local films!

This number, I'm afraid, is unprecedented and unprecedented...

You must know that this record in the previous life has been held by Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" until 2017, and it has not been broken.

However, the appearance of "Those Years" directly swept this record, which had been sealed for nearly 10 years, into the dust of history.

The delay in the production of "Spirited Away" did not allow enough time for the film to be promoted, and in the end, Toho held a free preview event in 47 prefectures in Japan in an attempt to increase the popularity of the film.

Compared with the poor publicity of "Spirited Away", the publicity techniques and publicity intensity of "Those Years" are simply beating "Spirited Away"!

The pre-publicity started two months before the release of the movie!

In less than two months after its launch, a million copies have already been sold!

The popularity of the Japanese version has driven readers' expectations and curiosity about the movie of the same name;

"あぼ頃~ゾンゾンバă‚Șăƒ‚ăƒ„ă‚Șăƒ‹ăƒŒ" sold 1.5 million copies in the first week, and exceeded 2 million copies in one month!

The advance promotion of the theme song of the movie has turned the fans of THE SUN into potential audiences of the movie;

Coupled with the unsparing publicity, the movie posters plastered all over the street, and the trailers that are constantly looping...

There are also traces of such amazing results in "Those Years".

It's just that such an expected thing surprised everyone who watched this movie.

Especially those in the film industry who expressed strong doubts at the beginning, including some film critics, lesser-known film directors, and film magazine editors, were all shocked by the terrifying "1.7 billion" box office.

The rookie director for the first time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is only 20 years old, actually beat the masterpiece of animation master Hayao Miyazaki in his film debut?!

Don't you want to be so exaggerated?!

Although it is only a box office record for three days after its premiere, the box office of "Those Years" is still 108,000 miles away from the 30.8 billion box office of "Spirited Away".

However, such a record alone is enough to see the box office trend of this "Those Years".

This is just the beginning of the movie-watching frenzy!

。。。

In Japan, when local films are becoming more and more declining, Hollywood blockbusters are invading, and manga movies are slowly occupying most of the screens in theaters, a "Those Years" supervised by rookie and starring and directed by the national male god Kiyoshi Sakamoto has quickly become a local movie that the people across the country pay the most attention to in just a few days!

Thanks to the bombardment-like publicity in the early stage, within a week of its release, "Those Years" attracted more than 1.5 million people to enter the theater and watch the movie!

And it also relied on a box office of 2.3 billion, which indisputably landed as the champion of this week's movie box office list!

Perhaps, next week, next week's box office weekly list champion, if nothing else, will also be occupied by "Those Years".

The popularity of the movie made Dongbao and the theater chain also see the scene of bundles of green banknotes constantly smashing into their faces, and through communication and negotiation, the number of screens of "Those Years" has been improved again.

From more than 300 pieces, it has been increased to more than 400 pieces!

There are a hundred more screens, and the box office production has increased again, which has also led to the box office performance of "Those Years" not showing much decline after the release of "Those Years", and even sometimes, there has been a small increase!

And judging from the number of screenings arranged by the theater, as well as the fact that they were swept away, and even scalped tickets, the momentum of "Those Years" is more than that...

Most of the viewers who watched this film were young men and women, no matter how old they were, no more than thirty years old.

ON THE ONE HAND, THE AUDIENCE OF THE MOVIE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AGE GROUP AS THE FANS OF THE SUN.

Therefore, a large part of the audience who walks into the theater are fans of THE SUN, or fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself.

On the other hand, among the moviegoers, there are also some readers who have read the Japanese version of "Those Years".

Out of curiosity about the adapted movie, I also walked into the theater one after another...

Although they have different viewing purposes, they are all attracted by this, simple but simple, with a little regret and beauty.

The release of the movie does not mean that the publicity can stop.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto continued to take the people of "Those Years" to participate in promotional activities everywhere, trying to get more people to watch this movie.

As for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who put down the big stone in his heart, he also had a very tempting idea when he looked at the growing box office during the promotional journey along the way.

That is...

Replace "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" as the highest-grossing romance movie in Japanese history!
