Well, one not terrible thing about the screening being held in other theaters means a new wave of hate and negativity for the movie.

I just hope people don't let their biased opinions get in the way of their actual feelings about the movie.

So 6.4-38.5% of 1 million USD is the projected range, and this isn't factoring the likely event of a continuance in some theatres and possible merchandise sales. 

Well like 4life said, not all of them are sold out

So I don't really know

Also the seats per theater really vary, so it's complicated 

This isn't also accounting the costs of advertisement, I also don't know how much merchandise is usually sold regarding Naruto

How's everyone doing?

Same...didn't felt like going all the way there...I decided to watch it online lol

Lol, I should do that too. I'd like to see how good the English dub is compared to the Japanese sub

What ? Kishi titled this chapter "the real end" ? Really ?

 

Yup. This is the chapter where Naruto and Sasuke have "died," Sakura and Karin are desperately trying to revive them but conclude (in mirrored panels) that 'at this rate, they will die'...and Hinata has fallen face first after being tripped by a rock. It's all in Chapter 662, "The Real End."

 

So my thoughts are no matter what came afterward, this is how Kishimoto would have liked to have ended it. With NS, SK and Hinata/Rock-kun.

 

I also have a theory that Kishimoto had had his way, he would have left it as an open ending, like the novelization of the Gutsy Ninja. Where the intent is shown on the part of the characters, but he doesn't have to illustrate the main pairings getting together. Just gives the impression for the readers.

 

(And really, even the actual ending of the manga reflects Kishimoto's tendency to leave things vague, with so many confusing panels and open-ended situations.)

 

Anyway, I think it's significant that 662 was titled "The Real End." I think this is how he would have left it if he wasn't tied to a contract.

I loved really Sonia She was actually my first tv crush *feels shameful*. I still remember when I told to my mom to leave me alone in my room during the dinner time because I wanted to stay there to watch super3. And my mom...that woman ended up to hate my beloved Sonia

How I could miss cartoons like Jeeg Robot d'acciaio, Yattaman, Nino il mio amico Ninja (Ninja hattori-kun), Ken il guerriero, Magico dan Super campione, Cara dolce Kyoko, Doraemon, Sanpei, Fantazoo, etc..

 

I feel old to mention only these cartoons. What a sad nostalgia

 

Holly&Benji hadn't a great plot and each match lasted hours of episodes but its character were actually great.

Saint Seiya... I hated Seiya too.. What a such crybaby I loved Shaka ("per il sacro virgo")

 

I feel old to mention only these cartoons.

Shaka loved too.

The projected revenue is still likely to run into the hundreds of thousands. Promotional fees can't be more than perhaps 25% of the budget, and even that may be stretching the truth by some extent.

The nostalgia googles has to quit one day, doesn't it? I've had my ships become canon before. I still ship them, but after a week or so I fangirling, to be ready to critique the result. It happened with korrasami actually, I still love it and I think ppl are exxagerating its flaws, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Oh god you're right. I haven't noticed that title.
I think like you.
Kishimoto is really trying to send a message to us.

And I agree with you, knowing the guy, he really isn't the type to give all those details, in general he's vague and he has the tendency to give only impressions. I would never thought he would give us an ending that precise. I always imagined something more like what LadyGT is writting.

I agree. Nostalgia does play a huge role in us. In fact, fandomism play a huge role in us. Take that Zelda game for WiiU for example. It's Dynasty Warrior with Zelda characters. Before, journalism see those games repetitive and stale. All the sudden, the game is great and has great cast. Yes, because it's Zelda.

For me, I take things beyond my fandom. So when it ended, you can say a glass break and I was awake to see how the series is.

Did they voice most of the characters good? Or was it trash, just like the Last?

Into hundreds of thousands? Sure I guess

Promoting something really costs a lot of money,it's probably the most expansive cost

I think that's a natural thing. You sort of come down from the initial high and can look at things more objectively again. It's like Sonic Generations. I loved the game when it came out, and still like it, but I can be honest and say that it has a number of flaws (curse you, Time Eater!!!  )

Yeah, if he was locked in a contract, and he knew the original direction of the story had been given up in favor of more money for the series...then I could see him trying to insert his opinion in some other, more creative ways. 

 

I think it's simply to fishy to think otherwise. I mean, why call it that title? 

 

 

Knowing the ending that was to come, I honestly think that this is the way Kishimoto would've liked it to go down, if he'd had his way.

 

And that's not to say that either Sakura or Karin would have been absolutely paired up with Naruto and Sasuke in the end. I still bet he would have left it open. But I think it would have ended with those parallels. And most importantly, Hinata wouldn't have been in the mix at all.

 

In "The Real End," Hinata is shown as the side character she's been all along in the manga. Not being able to do enough and falling dramatically short. I think the name of the chapter was intentional, for readers to find when they came back and reread the manga after bait-and-switch ending.

I don't believe promotion would require much more than a decently sized portion of a film's budget. You're free to offer some information regarding the advertisement campaign on The Last if you want.

Hey guys it's been a bit of a while. Has anything happened over the past couple days?

I'm talking about in general and you should know by now that there's no information regarding the cost for The Last
