Japan Box Office Report � June 15th/16th

TH STAFF

'The Great Gatsby' was the most successful film of the weekend in Japan. It's Leonardo DiCaprio's second 1st place at the Japanese box office chart since 'Inception'. The opening weekend was good enough to open a path to the 1 billion Yen mark.

'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' dropped down to 2nd place and continued Hollywood's takeover of the 1st and 2nd place in the chart. The Japanese tearjerker 'Kiseki no Ringo' didn't sway much on its second weekend and defended its 3rd place.

In 5th place opened the Japanese comedy 'Ore wa Mada Honki Dashite nai Dake' starring Tsutsumi Shinichi with some adequate numbers. Meanwhile, 'Kuroyuri Danchi' is on its way of cracking the 1 billion Yen mark very soon.

The Japanese movie adaptation of David Gordon's novel 'The Serialist' starring Kamikawa Takaya also managed to enter the chart in 8th place on its opening weekend.
