Il film “Pokémon: la storia di tutti”, con protagonisti i leggendari Lugia e Zeraora, ha debuttato nelle sale cinematografiche giapponesi lo scorso venerdì, 13 luglio, ottenendo un successo niente male che lo ha portato in seconda posizione al box office.
Il 21° lungometraggio dei Pokémon ha debuttato nei cinema insieme a “Jurassic Park: il regno distrutto” e il paragone non è da poco: mentre il nuovo capitolo di Jurassic Park ha venduto 833.190 biglietti su 1.002 proiezioni, il film Pokémon ne ha venduti 440.242 su un totale di sole 370 proiezioni.
Ecco la top3 dei botteghini giapponesi, relativi a questo fine settimana:
Box office Giappone – Weekend 14,15+16 luglio
01. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (Toho-Towa)
¥1,216,654,000 ($10.8 million), totale: ¥2,106,772,700 ($18.7 million)
02. Pokemon: Everyone’s Story (Toho)
¥500,312,000 ($4.5 million), totale: ¥836,812,900 ($7.4 million)
03. Solo: A Star Wars Story (Disney) WK3
¥171,958,700 ($1.5 million), totale: ¥1,690,000,000 ($15.0 million)
In quanto a vendite nel primo weekend, il film con protagonisti Lugia e Zeraora ha fatto meglio rispetto al film Scelgo te, ma solo dello 0.9%. Si prevede un incasso di oltre 30 milioni di dollari. La strategia dell’universo alternativo in cui ambientare i film Pokémon sembra funzionare alla grande, considerando che le uscite cinematografiche degli ultimi anni stavano calando progressivamente in quanto a successo, mentre con queste nuove pellicole, molta più gente sta tornando a seguire i nuovi film Pokémon al cinema.
