Just thinking about it NH/SS fans aside, what's the reason for any other Naruto fan in Japan to go see the movie after reading 2 chapters like that? Are they hoping that the ending will grow on them by the time the movie is released? Is the reason why they have an early screening because it's a screening test to gauge the audience in which they have an AE prepared? I'm just shooting grasping at straws here
The fact that they did not leave it open ended means that they've guaranteed a potential decrease in revenue mainly because the fans that don't like those couples will not go see the movie. Why should a NS fan go and see this movie? To watch Naruto fall in love with Hinata after some stupid forced plot? Yeah no.
This has all the makings to bite them in the ass especially because NS is the most marketed pairing in Japan and their most popular couple and it was all for nothing. So those fans that were rooting for NS will not go and see this movie.
NH/SS fans around the world will see it but big woop they don't give Kishi money. They're gonna watch it online via bootleg, how is that giving Kishi anything?
Plus NH fans are mostly still tweens so they need to ask mommy and daddy to get them stuff. Stupid move on Kishi's part and it will bite him in the ass.
With all the many people ticked about the ending, the movie I predict can definitely become a flop.
