Guys do you think the Japanese fandom will see the movie? They weren't happy with the ending of the manga. In fact they should boycott the movie by not watching it, make it have horrible sales becoming "the worst Naruto movie" since the manga has the record for"worst manga ending".
I haven't seen japanese's fans reactions, but I'm almost sure the movie will be less profitable than RTN for one simple reason: The movie's centered around NH -> Nh not so popular in Japan -> not a big success. There will surely be people who will watch it, a lot surely, but less than some better Naruto movies like RTN.
Speaking of a comparaison RTN/The Last, even if The Last is really canon, RTN looks more canon, I'm not even talking about the couple, but just the story itself fit more in Naruto's atmosphere, The Last is too focused on love to stay a shonen movie, I mean Naruto was barely focused on love and now its last movie is all about that. It doesn't fit the mood of the manga.
EDIT: I'm talking about romantic love when I say it wasn't too focused on in the whole manga. General love was a big part of the manga.
