Renato Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 The moviegoing public is significantly smaller, but ticket prices are comparatively high, so who knows. I rarely go to the movies due to the price. Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Yamato stays #1 at the box office with only a 9.2% slide. That's pretty damn awesome. http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/ Quote
Renato Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Nice find! According to this, Yamato is at #64 in Japan's highest grossing openings ever list: http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/opening/ That's not bad. Note that the oldest movie I can see on that list is Terminator 3, though. Also, going slightly off-topic, it is surprising to see the apparent lack of popularity of films like Twilight if we look at the 2009 top rankings in Japan according to that site. And Macross F only made about $5 million, just a bit more than Yamato Resurrection (even though I believe they spent a lot more advertising on MacF than Yamato), and much, much less than Evangelion.

UN Spacy Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Space Battleship Yamato knocked out of #1 spot by the new Kamen Rider and Tron Legacy. She dropped to #4 right behind Potter with a loss of 40.4%. Ouch. http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/?yr=2010&wk=51&p=.htm Quote

Ouch. http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/?yr=2010&wk=51&p=.htm Still, it's making more per screen then Tron and Harry is making (the top film in the list is making a killing per screen). Quote

Dobber Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Any word on an american distributor? Can't read the article above because I'm not a paid perscriber. Chris Quote
sketchley Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/opening/ That's not bad. Note that the oldest movie I can see on that list is Terminator 3, though. I'm guessing that it's because that website wasn't around long much before then, and probably cannot be bothered to dig into historical archives (language barrier notwithstanding). Space Battleship Yamato knocked out of #1 spot by the new Kamen Rider and Tron Legacy. That's easy - Tron Legacy has had a lot larger advertising push then Yamato. Also, ask any 3 to 10 year old about the two franchises, and it's "Yamato, who?" Toys R Us also has a good half shelf dedicated to (the latest incarnation of) Kamen Rider (I nose, as it's what my 5 year old wanted for X-mas); with zero dedicated to Yamato. Macross F also has a poor performance - only a couple of the latest Bandai Kits piled on and amidst the other non-Gundam kits in 1/8 or 1/10 of a shelf. Ah well, at least it's there. Quote
Renato Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 That's easy - Tron Legacy has had a lot larger advertising push then Yamato. Really? I can't say I've noticed. I think I saw about one TV spot and a couple of posters in a train station, but that's it for Tron as far as I can tell. Yamato on the other hand, has been on TV constantly, in both commercial breaks and on TV programmes, with Kimura Takuya plugging it on every show he's on (and he's pretty much on EVERY SHOW anyway).

Dynaman Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Looks like the Film is still holding it's own. Now, when is it getting to the US? http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/?yr=2010&wk=53&p=.htm Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Gantz gets a US theatrical release but Yamato doesn't?!? WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIET?!? Quote
Kyp Durron Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Gantz gets a US theatrical release but Yamato doesn't?!? WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIET?!? I don't know man, I've been trying to figure out that one myself. It's almost as if they don't want this film to make as much money as possible... -Kyp Quote
505thAirborne Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I don't know man, I've been trying to figure out that one myself. It's almost as if they don't want this film to make as much money as possible... -Kyp I wish they would release it here Stateside cause I wold be first in line with my ticket handy! This is one of those films that must be seen on the big screen at least once! Quote
Kronnang Dunn Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Mediatres Studio made a deal with TBS Company for home distribution of the film in Spain. The movie will be released on DVD in that country under the "Winds of Asia" quality seal and will be sold through Warner Home Video of Spain. Spanish Web Article CHIDO!!! Edited April 6, 2011 by Kronnang Dunn Quote
Keith Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I grumble at the lack of a U.S. distribution announcement. Quote
Kronnang Dunn Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I grumble at the lack of a U.S. distribution announcement. Well, Warner Home Video of Spain is still a Warner of America property. Maybe WB will secure the rights for the film in the US based on International feedback? Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 SCOOPDA!!! The Special Edition Blu-Ray will be released late June 2011. Still no word if it'll have English subtitles though. http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=MED-DVD2-11106&template=default/product/e_display.html Quote
Dynaman Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 SCOOPDA!!! The Special Edition Blu-Ray will be released late June 2011. Still no word if it'll have English subtitles though. $50 US (roughly) isn't bad, I may order this puppy if it is english subbed. Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 The 1/500 Space Battleship Yamato (and much more) is 40% off at HLJ! http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?SaleGroup=SALEYAMATO&header=yamatoshipl0411&utm_medium=itemblock&utm_campaign=TOP_page&utm_content=yamato-ship-sale-04-2011.jpg Quote

renegadeleader1 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Watch this before it's too late. ENGLISH SUBTITLES?!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdCGDYmaXHk Now THAT had to be the shortest offensive of all time! Quote
Keith Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Still crossing my fingers that those subs make it to the bluray release. Quote
peter Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Well, still holding my breath, but there's always hope of a fan-sub.... Quote
Renato Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Still crossing my fingers that those subs make it to the bluray release. Amazon is listing Japanese subs only (so far). Quote
peter Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Amazon is listing Japanese subs only (so far). That's just craptacular....better dust off the 'ol English/Japanese dictionary. Quote
Kronnang Dunn Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Well, still holding my breath, but there's always hope of a fan-sub.... God... bless... the fansubbers... Quote
Kronnang Dunn Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) According to the Movie News Blog, Yamato will be released in DVD and Blu Ray in Japan on June 24, 2011... Edited June 8, 2011 by Kronnang Dunn Quote
Keith Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 And yet, still no word on subs or a U.S. license. Quote
peter Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Haha, can't wait for a proper subbed one? Wait for the HK/PRC bootleg with crappy Chinglish subs...shouldn't take too long. Hey Kronnang Dunn, is there any more to that image you're using for an avatar? Peter Quote
Scream Man Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I was hoping to come in and find it HAD been fansubbed. Ah well. Quote
Dynaman Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Thought this would be the best ongoing thread for this. Very pretty Yamato models from a show in Japan. http://www.geocities.jp/dourakuoyadi/newpage2event3.htm [edit] - Some Nausica and other scifi stuff in there as well.

Hey Kronnang Dunn, is there any more to that image you're using for an avatar? Peter In our HD future, old school HK subs just don't cut it. Besides, anyone who cared about quality there got arrested/out of the business almost a decade ago. Edited June 12, 2011 by Keith Quote
