Obviously, SP believed that Mizuki would be a reason for this movie to become a box office hit. Fans, however, seem to be smarter than this and not fall for this moneygreedy trap. How it will affect the sales of manga will only be seen in long term, meaning when a new list of the manga sales will be released next year.
But what you're assuming is not incorrect at all. I am pretty sure that people will blame the horrible quality of Ch.699 and 700 b/c of the movie and thus Mizuki. Ch.699 still enrages me b/c Kishi decided to single Hinata out for no other reason than the upcoming movie. Even the chapters had to suffer through inconsistencies for the sake of Hinata.
It would impact people's emotional investment in the series enough so that they choose not to purchase any volumes of the manga as a passive protect? They really should host an end-of-series character poll to determine who the top 10 favourites were as the manga is finished. I wonder if that comfortable position at #11/12 would remain in Hinata's clutches after the trainwreck she's put us through with this movie.
