I'm not too surprised, since the trailers were very good and it looked very interesting, more than a romance movie like the Last. Plus it's a brand new story with new set of main characters and the author hyped it as well. I would guess it looked appealing to new viewers and Kids.

I hope it sells more than 3 billion yen overall.

Makes sense. Japan obviously weren't too excited about a romance movie featuring a crack-pairing. Plus this movie involves new kids and is actually written by Kishi himself. Of course this'd do much better.

Wow you are clueless. The last grossed 2 billion yen, it was definitely loved. It did better than Gintama movie for comparison sake.

It wasn't loved in Japan, at all. The only reason The Last sold as much as it did by it's time was because there was no refund policy unlike any other Naruto films. Hence why it sold 2 billion.

The moment you thought going out and seeing a movie is synonymous with loving a movie after watching it, is the moment you revealed you're the one who's actually clueless.

Case in point: Twilight grossed 30+ million on its opening day, but last time I trawled the internet, it wasn't loved.

Stop reaching, mate.

There is literally no source for the refund thing. And the first link contain no Sasuke or Kakashi fans whatsoever

Translation from Google


Only thing that was even remotely credible in that tumblr link was the 2chan comments, and if that's your prove then lol. It's 2chan they shit on everything, and the internet never represents a majority or a portion that matters (US movies and TV shows being the common prove for that). And the second link doesn't redirect to anything:


You can hate Naruto and it's movie and etc, till the cows go home. Doesn't change the fact that the movie was a giant success ergo loved by it's Japanese audience. It's disk sales are also way above that of Road to Ninja:
(2014) *63,276 THE LAST -NARUTO THE MOVIE-
(2012) *32,195 ROAD TO NINJA -NARUTO THE MOVIE-
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1415839#msg41458071

This comes to the point where it's not even about hating the series or loving it, but defying any sort of common sense. Naruto is a mainstream franchise, saying that it's most successful movie yet is not loved based on some online comments and some twisted unbacked up translation is incomprehensible and just straight up toxic behavior.

Damn is it so hard for a Naruto thread to have normal posts from normal people..

What's next, ''Naruto isn't even popular or liked by anybody anywhere, it's all just a conspiracy!!!!''

Don't give me BS like boruto movie was better or far more great hit than The last. The last is the best naruto movie till day, sure it sounds like taken out from some typical shoujo romance. Remember this one fact, not all of the mainstream shonen shows romance ending.


-As for Boruto's plot. I find it utter sh*t, during the movie I already hated the fact that boruto becomes the apprentice of Sasuke and he hates his father for neglecting him for godsake, naruto had such a depressing childhood. Out of nowhere, this baruto movie completely revert naruto's personality, he becomes "workaholic". I mean, we all know what type character naruto is. They should just end this franchise before ruining anymore of naruto's personality.

Both The last and Boruto did well because they are canon of the finished manga. The other movies are just filler. If there is another movie after this it will do even better again.

Road to Ninja is technically filler but it did good as well. It depends really, I think Boruto has bigger appeal than the last, that's why it did better in it's opening weekend.

Then again RtN was presented as canon at the time, if I recall correctly. Kishimoto even drew a short story to promote the movie.

It made 15.8 million pretty good but I don't see it surpassing the Last Boruto movie seem like a dlc story more than anything and it drag on the Naruto storyline but if this is the real last Naruto movie I guess it did a good job. Maybe jump or SP are using to see if more people want more Naruto if Kishimoto doesn't want to write Naruto anymore maybe somebody else will. I honestly think Kishimoto kind of sick of Naruto right now.

Why must it always be either completely loved or hated?
The last got mixed reviews. Some hated it and some loved it.
It's not always just one or the other.

The movie is the lowest rated on Yahoo movie reviews (2.8) in Japan precisely because there was a split.
http://movies.yahoo.co.jp/movie/THE+LAST+-NARUTO+THE+MOVIE-/349882/

Some reviews for Boruto freely dis the last and say how they were disappointed with it and how Boruto is the movie they wanted to see.
http://movies.yahoo.co.jp/movie/BORUTO+-NARUTO+THE+MOVIE-/352385/review/?page=1&results=10&cinema_id=352385&theater_id=&sort=mrf

If you're going to use the sales then you'll have a bit of an issue too.
The Last was advertised as the last movie - of course people are going to see it.
It made 0.5 billion it's first week and was expected to top 2 billion easily but took the entire theatrical run (approximately 1-2 months) to make that much.
http://eiga.com/news/20141209/14/

In comparison, Boruto has been out for 3 weeks and is already close to 2 billion.
http://eiga.com/ranking/

You also says the sales of The Last are high for the franchise - that's true, but in comparison to Gintama (which you used to compare with the Last's theatrical haul and made 1.7 billion yen), which sold 144k copies, it's not as high.
Since Gintama made 1.7 billion yen in the theatres and The Last made 2 billion, wouldn't you expect the BD/DVD sales to be about the same?

It is a franchise and so people are of course still buying but it is not as blockbuster as what you would have expected.

I take it andsay the people who dis the last were neither action tards or Narusaku fans but The boruto movie surpassed the last so more milking of Naruto here we come.

Finally someone makes sense of this shit. The story it's like, kid(Naruto) is mad for being neglected but when he grows he doesn't learn from what he experienced and neglects his son too... The morale of the story I get is, grown ups are never wrong, children just whine a lot.(Naruto shouldn't have been rebelious since he would grow to do what he hated the most to his son)
This sequel is just wrong on so many levels... Franchise should endend in the manga with all the questions/plot holes answered.

So what? the point was that the movie was commercially successful and pretty big.

Latest DB movie http://movies.yahoo.co.jp/movie/349761/
has an above average score but it made more money than those with higher stars. Reception of reviewing sites it's not relevant. Just check the box office and rotten tomatos, the audience and the reviewing site usually don't have similar reception.

It wasn't advertised as the last movie, they said there is a new mirai project.

For a box movie, grossing is obviously more important than Disc sales. Gintama has more disc sales because it's has a strong otaku fanbase (fujoshi)

It's a blockbuster, some internet hate doesn't negate that. Vocal minority hate doesn't change anything or matter.
