>Koe no Katachi
>25,078 BDs, 7,482 DVDs
What went so incredibely wrong? Why did it sell so little considering this is a movie that grossed over 2.3 billion at the box office in Japan. Movies that make this much usually sell over 100k discs, hell, movies that grossed less sold more discs like all 3 Kizu movies.
>usually sell over 100k discs
NOPE
...
See Madoka, GuP, Keion, LoveLive. Etc
All were TV series first.
It's a mainstream film apparently, lots of teens went to see it, rather than the otaku audience that buys BDs for thinks like Madoka, Monogatari, GuP etc.
Doesn't really disprove anything. Their movies grossed around 2 billion or more and managed to sell over 100k discs.
That doesn't disprove his claim.
I can't wait for the Your Name numbers to come out. Maybe Yamada will kill herself.
It's not a zero sum game is it?
All of them build up a loyal fanbase that buys their shit, if they started out as movies they wouldn't have sold 100K either.
She should've just waited to release the film. The other two were just two big to compete with especially Keit-ai; one won over the critics while the other won over the people. Between the two other films, Koe no Katachi was going to be an afterthought for most.

If the industry worked like your logic, sequels and second seasons would sell more, but we all know that isn't the case but the exception.
KnK movie is adapted from a well known manga that received Best Rookie Manga Award and an Osamu Tezuka Cultural Award, the manga was also promoted by Japanese Federation of The Deaf.
Later, it got licensed by Crunchyroll and Kodansha USA for English release.
In short, it already has it's own loyal fanbase.
Except the movie is "The Shape of a Voice."
The shape of a flop.
Ok not the same user but lets put it this way. The fanbase is not the usual obsessive otaku that buys everything as long it has an sticker of his waifu on it.
Normalfags like it. The nip critics like the story but the ones that buy BD's didn't care to much.
Then why is a normie movie like Kimi no na wa selling 100k?
begone thot
Like this guy said, Kimi no Na Wa was even more normalfag than KnK, it didn't have any loyal fanbase since it was an original story
because it was better
Buying BDs for TV anime is for otaku but buying BD anime movies is for normies and otaku too. How would you explain Spirited away and Frozen selling more than a million disc?
