WARNER BROS. JAPAN'S "RUROUNI KENSHIN: THE LEGEND ENDS" BREAKS BOX OFFICE RECORDS
Warner Bros. Japan’s local production Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends, the conclusion to the epic trilogy starring Takeru Satoh and directed by Keishi Otomo, had a record-breaking opening of more than 1.3 billion yen ($12 million) and more than 1 million admissions at the box office over the three-day holiday weekend (September 13-15). Saturday and Sunday alone made over 900 million yen ($8.4 million), which ranks as the top opening weekend box office this year in Japan for both local releases and Hollywood films. The phenomenal success from the two sequels marks a legendary opening, making this “The Year of Rurouni Kenshin.”
The previous instalment, RUROUNI KENSHIN: KYOTO INFERNO opened in Singapore on 28 August, and is the highest-grossing Japanese film this year.
