| This is trully turning into a Moneygatari series. Maybe someone should suggest to NisiOisiN that he changes the name. If he haven't already thought about it by now, which would surprise me. |
 |
| Good to hear, wasn't unexpected but glad it's selling well. the wait is killing me |
 |
| That's a shit ton of tickets and ¥¥¥ |

| And that's just the first movie. The total gross of the trilogy would be monumental. |
 |
*Meanwhile at Shaft*  |
 |
| well, well. IT'S TIME FOR THE MONEY BABY. |
| Shaft making big bucks. Now I wonder how much money the entire trilogy will earn in the future. |
 |
| Yooooshaaa 〜(￣▽￣〜) (〜￣▽￣)〜 Nice, can't wait to see the movie ლ(╹◡╹ლ) Hope it beats Madoka's gross. |
 |
| So what does this mean in comparison? Like, what does the average anime film make? Is this Ghibli or Pokemon level? |
| So now we can expect more quality from Shaft's shows. |
| Those numbers aren't even that great tbh. All 3 movies combined will probably make less money than the Love Live movie. Considering Owarimonogatari's sales, it's clear that the series isn't at the peak of its popularity anymore. Thankfully, it's still big enough that we'll get all the adaptations that we could possibly want. |

At the current course yes though I'm surprised anybody here had the wisdom to think instead of just react to and realize it's pretty much just alright numbers instead of going all hype mongering cause it's the beloved Monogatari.

Not even remotely close to Pokemon, Precure, One Piece, DBZ, Hosoda sort of level which can make as much as 4-5 billion yen per flick, but those are very mainstream and popular with general audiences. Maybe comparable to Ghibli after it's prime though but honestly probably not, I don't have the numbers for stuff like Kaguya-Hime or Wind Rises on hand. tsudecimo said: Yooooshaaa 〜(￣▽￣〜) (〜￣▽￣)〜 Nice, can't wait to see the movie ლ(╹◡╹ლ) Hope it beats Madoka's gross. Literally impossible. Without some sort of 11th hour benefit it's debatable it will pass the 1 billion mark or not let alone the 2.1 billion it would need for Madoka. I think it's been in theater a couple months at this point and last time I checked had just hit 700 million yen mark though Japanese anime movie news has more focused on the smash success of the Girls Und Panzer movie while Kizumonogatari news has kind of fallen largely by the way side. Kizumonogatari also fell off the movie top 10 charts about a month ago so that's also why updates on it have been quite scarce. This news story is also like a month old so why it's being posted here now other than possible stealth marketing for the movies Western release I don't know. |

On what basis would it be better? |
|
| this movie would've made way more if it was released in 2012 like it was supposed to. Anyway the publishers are milking this way too hard, releasing barely 60 mins material in 1 movie & splitting it in 3. Moneygatari like @zefyris said. |

| Joke aside, I am happy I survived this long to see the movies. Finally. Shaft, get all the money you can :) |
| I am very happy with this. Gatari deserves all the sales. As long as SHAFT keeps adapting monogatari, I can forgive them for screwing up madoka. |

I'm afraid you're taking things backward. It's not that theyr are "popular enough to get adapted", but that they are "close enough of what sells as an anime to be adapted". You will never see some very popular japanese novels getting adapted into anime because they wouldn't work,whereas you see some LN quite obscure -before their anime adaptation- getting one. |

| It's great that Kizumonogatari's doing good. I wonder if it'll beat Gintama's second movie's total (which was ¥1.89 billion and 1 million tickets sold) or maybe at least the Psycho-Pass movie (¥850 million). Btw, did it beat the Madoka Magica movie total yet? |

See if it manages to pass the billion yen mark and then we'll talk other stuff, but last I checked it was only pulling in less than 500K million a week in February after the benefits wore off, which would mean it would take several more months for that to happen if god forbid it stayed the same. Still I never completely count Aniplex properties in when it comes to a matter of profit maximization. They always know how to get Otaku to throw more money at them in what should be the 11th hour.

Wind Rises is 12billion and Kaguya-hime is 2.5billion, it is not fair to compare it to Ghibli especially Miyazaki though. Yeah but Kaguya cost some insanely large amount of money to make on account of being all hand drawn in that water color style so probably still lost money. Excellent non-otaku movie that probably most people will never see and the last thing I saw that felt worth a 10/10 score. Miyazaki is of course Miyazaki and while a great film I admittedly didn't enjoy it as much as Kaguya-Hime. I also think casting Miyazaki as the lead was a poor choice cause he was just so stiff and wooden, but I'm also noticing cast total stiff and wooden rook-shows as male leads in anime is become more in vogue lately. |

Anime more or less is an advertisement (just look at all those 'read the manga' endings). YEs, for them anime is a costly advertisement. However, they advertise because they think it can increase the sales, not because it's already popular (quite the contrary, if they think the market for a title is already pretty much saturated so anime won't really increase the already good sales, they will not make an anime adaptation. That's the reason why you usually don't get a second season for adaptation of LN, for example). That's why what's important is not how much they sell before the anime, but if the editors thinks that it can please enough anime watchers so that they will buy the novels thanks to the anime. Popularity plays a role as well, but not in the way you think it does. |

Those 4 are mainstream movies aimed at general audiences that are well known properties in Japan by many so they get far more theaters and bigger ones at that. The weird thing about the modern Western community is that most of what it knows about nowadays and considers popular are actually pretty niche series in Japan that are usually from light novels or visual novels (which have only really exploded in terms of what many studios choose to work from in the last 5-10 years or so) and have just happened to do a little better than others financially, but even then that's not always the case. A lot of people would probably be really surprised at what's actually really popular in the mainstream as far as anime goes in Japan but just isn't marketed over here because it's not part of the major licensors business plan who are trying to push anime as a cool young adults teen fantasy type thing when that's generally frowned upon by your every day person as a socially misfit geeks hobby but for a handful of franchises. |

| Pretty good movie, but I bet they expected even higher sales for such a highly anticipated adaption. |
 |
| They waited too long. Kizumonogatari movie should have come out years ago, 2011 or 2012 or whenever they first meant to do it. Back then the TV anime was selling 80K discs on average but now it sells under 30K. Interest has waned. Too bad really. Still makes money but I think it could have sold 2-4 million yen if they'd released it years ago. |
| that's extreamly slow TBH, comparing all the hype around it. they should release it back then when it still on peak. |

That is converted from the JPY total in 2014, where the USD to JPY is different from now. Better to use verified Japanese sources as I said, as currency exchange rates change all the time. So around 1.7 billion yen for Gintama Movie 2: http://www.eiren.org/toukei/ |

| my god the wait is killing me, i want all three movies right in front of me and i want it NOW! grrrrrr! |
| What's with all these comparison and / or competition?. I think based on what I saw two days ago at the theater combine with the figures I saw it being at ¥719,255,950 or USD $6,376,952.02 this article on it's 5th week: http://www.someanithing.com/268  I can accurately say that SHAFT already got what they spent on making the film on it's entirety trilogy rather than just this release alone. Nekketsu-hen and Reiketsu-hen Earnings will be surplus. Whilst the series isn't as popular as it once was back on the day, I'm sure that SHAFT took that into account and which is precisely the explanation of splitting the adaptation into three segments. At this point and time SHAFT is doing nothing more than building momentum!, As many of you guys here seem to have forgotten Bakemonogatari it's Re-Airing as of now all over again on TV since it's full conclusion back on 2010!. We are overlooking that the japanese don't have streaming site and on this gap of sequels there is a sea of people that have never heard of Bakemonogatari. Owarimonogatari just finished and took many new viewers by surprised regardless of it's sales. Paired with Koyomimonogatari made available through a Phone App to which the Japanese are quite fond off more so than PC's themselves unlike us the western counterpart. By Re-Airing of Bakemonogatari, Shaft is Revamping on a daring strategy to recruit and / or encompass more ground than it's pre-established one. From a market sells point of view, The strategy it's daring as it is ingenious. Creating so much momentum for the series that I can honestly say that Part 2 and Part Three will make way more money than Tekketsu-hen did. Tekketsu-hen was nothing short of advertisement as well as a time buyer for the train that is approaching. Monogatari Series Final Season it's about to finish literally needing 4 arcs total, 1 belonging to Zoku-Owarimonogatari. I think it's far to early for anyone to count SHAFT studios out, It surprises me that no one has brought up SHAFT partnership with XEBEC the renown makers of Ecchi anime, As the art was very similar with Maken-ki Two and Lady vs Butlers with a more sharper tone. TNK responsible for High School DxD also partnered in. I'm wondering why would SHAFT increase partners, Wouldn't that mean less of a cut for them? |
