Because of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Japan's Warner Pictures attaches much more importance to "Death Note" than the original Fujiwara Ryuya version, so the number of screens allocated by Warner to this movie is as much as 400 yuan, which is dozens more than the original number of screens.

You must know that the total number of screens in the whole of Japan is only more than 3,000, and the 400 screens already account for one-tenth of the number of screens in the entire Japan, and these dozens of screens are still borrowed from other film companies by Warners.

It was also because he was optimistic about Kiyoshi Sakamoto's appeal to young audiences that prompted Warner to make such a bold move.

Don't underestimate these dozens of screens, these are real box office, if on the weekend, when the number of moviegoers is at its highest, even a screen, the ticket sales of one day can be as little as five or six hundred thousand yen, and more than one million!

It is conceivable that in the two days of the weekend, these dozens of extra screens may add more than 60 million yen to the box office of "Death Note"!

Of course, this also requires this movie to be loved by the public, and there will be so many box offices when every show is full.

It's like "Sea Ape 2", which was released on May 6, with 315 screens, and the box office reached 965 million yen in two days over the weekend!

Although on the weekend of the second week, the box office began to decline, but it still got a good result of 705 million, and the box office did not fall very much.

As of June 17, this "Sea Ape 2" was released for six weeks and received a box office of 5.83 billion.

Moreover, the film has not yet shown obvious decline, and continues to be popular when the number of screens has only decreased by more than two decades.

According to the speculation of major film critics and movie magazines, this "Sea Ape 2" is likely to exceed 8 billion box office.

That kind of box office result is enough to win the annual box office champion of Japan's local live-action films.

And in such a situation, the movie "Death Note" starring the popular little king, the national little male god, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the box office of the two days of the weekend was counted.

400 screens, 700 million yen box office!!

This figure is certainly nothing compared to the box office of the first weekend of "Sea Ape 2".

You must know that the number of screens in "Sea Ape 2" is only 315, which is nearly 100 screens less than the number of screens in "Death Note".

However, compared with the filming cost of "Sea Ape 2" of more than 3 billion, "Death Note" only has a shooting cost of 2 billion, and it can get such a good result, which is enough to make Japan's Warner Pictures laugh.

After all, the shooting cost of 2 billion is still made into the first part and the second part, two movies, so calculated, it is equal to the shooting cost of one movie, which is only a mere billion, that is to say, the money to make one "Sea Ape 2" can be made into three "Death Note".

Of course, it's not like that, one is a disaster movie, the other is a drama film, at most there are a little more special effects, which can't be compared.

Disaster movies and science fiction films are the most expensive types of films, with a shooting cost of more than three or four billion yuan at every turn, even the three oldest film companies in Japan, Toho, Toei, and Shochiku, dare not start shooting these money-burning movies casually.

。。。。。。

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was at home, also received a box office fax from Warner.

He personally doesn't understand the concept of 700 million, whether it is more or less, whether it belongs to very good results, or whether it belongs to very good results.

As for the poor grades, he didn't think about it.

Because, 700 million yes, how much is 700 million, Sakamoto Kiyoshi still has a bit of a concept.

In the box office of the first weekend and two days, if you can get 700 million, it must be a success.

What he cares about is whether this number can make the public's eyes shine or be amazing.

Because this is his first starring movie, he wants not only to be good, but very good, very good!

When he called Uncle Ishida and asked him, Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned from the mouth of Ishida's old fritters that the meaning of this number.

"Let me tell you this, the 700 million first-week weekend box office is the best result so far this year except for "Sea Ape 2"! In other words, this movie is a hot mess!" Uncle Ishida said to Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the phone with excitement.

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that his first movie was a success!

It seems to correspond to what Uncle Ishida said, this "Death Note", which has a deep fan base of the original manga, is really a hot mess!

As soon as it was released, it attracted a large number of fans of the original manga, as well as Kiyoshi Sakamoto's personal fans, to watch it in theaters.

All the performances on the two days of the weekend were fully booked out, and the attendance rate reached an astonishing 95 percent!

In the next five working days, although the venue was not as full as on the weekend, the attendance rate also reached more than 80%.

According to the statistics of the theater, more than 95% of the audience are young people under the age of 30.

It can be seen how popular this movie is among young people.

Interestingly, the ratio of men to women in the audience is a surprising 6:4.

That is, out of a hundred young viewers, sixty are women and only forty are men.

As a darkened, male-oriented manga, the original manga of "Death Note", most of the readers, are young men.

It stands to reason that this live-action movie adapted from comics should attract more male audiences, but from this statistic, there are more female viewers than male viewers.

The reason is simple, because it is all thanks to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

As mentioned earlier, as a super popular singer and idol, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has a large number of female fans, and this is the first movie starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto, how can you be worthy of your idol if you don't support it?

Therefore, a large wave of Sakamoto Kiyoshi female fans poured into theaters across the country to dedicate their meager strength to Kiyoshi Sakamoto and contribute to the box office of this movie.

That's why there are more female viewers than male viewers.

Moreover, the fans who originally came for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's appearance were fascinated by a different, dark, and arrogant Kiyoshi Sakamoto in the movie.

Not only the female fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, but also the male viewers who came to the name of the original manga were also attracted by the "Night God Moon" played by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

After a few months of training, Kiyoshi Sakamoto perfectly integrated the character and characteristics and temperament of "Night God Moon", and his acting skills continued to improve with the passage of time.

In the movie, he performed the role of the night god moon who has the identities of "savior", "famous college student" and "genius" very well.

When several identities are changed, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's expressions and actions will change depending on the identity of the role.

Whether it is the distrust of social order and the desire for justice before the death note, the look down on the world and the disregard for life after getting the death note, and the justice in his heart is maintained when punishing the prisoner, these subtle changes are performed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto very well.

Coupled with Sakamoto Kiyoshi's tall figure and handsome appearance, it also adds a bit of charm to this "Night God Moon", which makes people look at it, as if they have seen the savior "Kira" in the comics.

Fans who have seen the original comics have exclaimed, this is the "Night God Moon" in our minds!

Not only that, but in this movie, "L", as the biggest opponent of "Night God Moon", has also been recognized by everyone.

Matsuyama's superb acting skills allowed him to put an "L" that is most in line with the original work alive in front of the audience.

The duel between the two protagonists also made the audience addicted.

Film supervisor Shusuke Kaneko's control and processing of the film picture is also very good.

It is very reasonable to use a very compact way, coupled with reasoning duels from time to time, to create a thrilling atmosphere, so as to achieve a tense storyline in front of the audience.

Although in terms of special effects, it is not very good, but after all, it is only a small-production feature film, and it is limited by shooting funds, so you can't ask for too much.

Fortunately, in the movie, there are very few places where special effects need to be used, and they are only used when the Grim Reaper appears, which does not take up much space in the movie.

On the whole, the whole movie has many advantages and disadvantages, but the flaws are not covered up, and it must be said that it is a very well-made commercial movie.

And the box office figures for the second week are also very obvious to tell everyone that this is a very successful commercial film!

The box office of the second week of "Death Note", 1 billion!

This includes 500 million for two days of the weekend, and the cumulative box office has come to 1.7 billion!

In this way, "Death Note" was released for two weeks, the exact number, nine days.

Nine days after its release, it almost recovered its costs, and such a revenue ratio made Warner Japan ready to open champagne to celebrate.

Careful people, from the box office of the first weekend, as well as the box office of the second weekend, it can be seen that the box office decline rate of the two weeks is not obvious.

In other words, the public's freshness and reputation for this movie are very good.

On Yahoo's movie rating list, the score of "Death Note" also reached 7 points.

Such a score is already a very high evaluation for a small-production commercial drama film.

also saw that this film still has huge potential to be tapped, and Warner Japan is also ready to continue to invest in follow-up publicity plans.

However, in these plans, there is certainly no figure of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Because, he's still "on vacation"...
