Wish I'd know that.

I think it's much more interesting though to find out how many people walked out of the cinema in the middle of the movie

Well if we had someone with an insider's perspective of the reception and interest fans in Japan, we might have answers to these questions. I doubt there's much in the way of positive sentiments for the chaotic direction Pierrot is taking Naruto though.

I guess we could ask Megi or someone on tumblr.

It earned more because there were no refunds (in other words SP basically mislead and stole from people who didn't even want to see the movie anymore) from what I hear some theaters closed down the viewing of the movie and showed something else because nobody was coming to see it anymore

Oh man, I love this part! If you don't mind me asking, where did you find this information? 2chan? Tumblr?

Source? Link?

I hope that isn't true.

 

That would be way too hilarious.

We will wait patiently.

I like your words, "I hope that isn't true". You know when someone says something it would be opposite. You say that that might "it IS true".

Let me give a link to this stuff about the refunds. Some might have read it already, but still, it's a very good one:

This is absolutely true. I saw the movie on Saturday and while I’m still trying to deal with my disappointment I went on 2ch forums and saw the very well written yahoo reviews last night. Today when I go to read it again they are gone and people on 2ch are in an uproar about it. The 5 star reviews written to balance out the 1 star reviews from REAL people do not have any valid reason to offer about what was good about the movie just that they really loved it or 感動しました deeply moved. But all the negative reviews have very detailed analysis of just exactly where in the movie and what was so bad about it especially the  parts which contradict the original manga. I agree with all of the points made by the negative reviews because a lot of the points are also things I saw wrong with the movie. But I was just so overwhelmingly disappointed I can’t bring myself to blog about it yet. Nonetheless I am just so sickened by the marketing ploys and the way Naruto has ended like this. People are entitled to not like the movie ESPECIALLY if they gave very good reasons as to why instead of blatantly just saying they hated it with no reason. There is absolutely NO NEED to delete negative reviews and counter return with a flood of fake 5 star reviews to balance out the average rating. Even if you enjoy the movie there is NO WAY the Last deserves 5 stars. At best if you can look past all the inconsistencies maybe you can give it a 3 or 4 but 5 is WAY too much. Such blatant false marketing cover-ups I have never seen! Really really disappointing… But yeah definately spread the word!

 

 

Sure you can add me. Probably will get anonymous hate but it doesn’t matter anymore because I feel much better knowing that I wasn’t the ONLY fan disappointed in the movie. I would love to translate it all for everyone but the truth is it doesn’t matter how many or even who translates it, it’s all very negative. And I have to add it is NOT NaruSaku fans complaining. People are writing valid reasons like Naruto should not be able to use Kagebunshin when he is still in the academy and Kakashi who is a strategist will never rely on just 勘 his 6th sense when making important decisions and if Sai is trapped in a genjyutsu dreaming of his brother there is no way that all Naruto can have memories of is Hinata, what about Iruka? etc. etc. There’s hardly any complaints about lack of NaruSaku! It’s about what makes SENSE and this movie and the script hardly matches what happened in the manga NOR do the characters feel IC. THAT is what people are complaining about! Trust me when I say it barely has ANYTHING to do with shipping and EVERYTHING about how bad and consistent this The Last movie is! Oh the movie ranking no. 1 this week? Of course people are going to watch it if you market it as THE LAST Naruto movie ever. It will gather old and new fans and also people like me who can’t get a refund from the pre-sale tickets have to see it twice. So do you think I count as part of the pool of money they gathered from opening week? It’s not like I have a choice! I don’t doubt the movie will do well in terms of sales but satisfaction after actually seeing the movie for themselves? Well that’s exactly what those reviews and comments on Japanese forums are for and even now certain comments are being deleted! I don’t even have the energy to be mad anymore only sadness disappointment and emptyness. I hope the studio staff and Kishi-sensei are happy with the way they trampled on fans feelings, those who have supported this manga for the last 15 years. The more you care or remember about the manga the more you cannot bring yourself to like this movie cause you start thinking ‘but what about when s/he did that in the manga??’ etc. etc. This is a movie where you will enjoy it more if you do not remember anything about the characters, who they were, what they stood for, and what they achieved in the entire span of the manga.

I don't really get what he's trying to say with "watching it twice".

Sweet-orangeblossom "watched" it twice because although he/she got the pre-sale tickets for screening, he wasn't able to watch it since apparently the viewers were still choosen. I read it on her Tumblr on this sweet-orangeblossom or naruto-thelastcountdown. I will put the link here when I find his/her post.

[Cherry-Bloss93]

One of the reviews I see has the movie at 7.7/10... Not sure which are more accurate :/

[pinkheartsyellowstars]

So the movie went from positive reviews to mixed reviews then (possibly) negative reviews?

"The viewers were still chosen..." what is that supposed to even mean?

[trang95]

So apparently the movie will be postponed in the Phillipines?

I'm sorry. I'm trying to recall. It's like the seats apparently were limited or he/she couldn't be able to go. I've searched but it seems I've missed it.
