wow Wolf Children is almost 50M. that's more than alot of average movies in US.

Is Kenshin a flop? the number looks very low. Another live-action based on managa movie, Umizaru makes like 88Millions.

should have go with Tomoe and kenshin's story.

Really? Not an expert on those things but it looks good, for a japanese film.

Maybe because they're pissed that we still don't have an anime about the Jinchuu Arc?

I don't know, being No.1 for two weeks and overthrowing Avengers sounds pretty impressive.

Most J-films would be fortunate to gross over $20 million, and Kenshin is on its way beyond that, so no, not a flop at all.

but this is a high budget movie, not like most j-fims. Umizaru has lower budget, earns 88millions. I don't have to number for Kenshin, but i heard it was pretty big budget.

Does John Carter flop? it did better than the average movies in US, $73millions. Wait, but it cost 250 millions to make.

They still make money because it do well enough in foreign regions.
