Greetings to all the tokyohive readers out there!

As you hopefully know by now, we're constantly looking for new and innovative ways to improve the site, and we're pleased to introduce what should become a weekly feature - the Japan Box Office Report.

The new feature will aim to give our readers a solid indication of the state of the film industry, what's been recently released, what's coming up soon, and what's most popular now.

Hope you enjoy it!

Not much happened at the box office chart this week, which is no surprise when you look at the movies that opened this weekend. �Only several smaller productions, including "Death Kappa" and the underrated American vampire flick, "Daybreakers", tried their luck against Harry & Co. this week.

Next weekend,�Kimura Takuya and his "Space Battleship Yamato" film will most likely have big enough weapons that not even Harry can block.
