>According to a report by 4Gamer.net (via Nintendo Everything), the movie banked around $13.5 million in its opening weekend and had made around $16 million in total by Monday (about 2,182,490,230 yen). This apparently makes it the best Illumination movie opening in Japan ever.
Seems extremely low compared to how it did in the US, even accounting for population differences. Do people often go to the movies in Japan, or is it not as popular? Do they usually just watch western movies, or do they usually watch movies originally made for Japan? It would be nicemif the article provided more insight into why the movie wasn’t more popular.
