...Nunca subestime a Ursa...
Just when you thought that public opinion on Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight
was all but unanimously positive, here comes the wacky Japanese market
to put their own spin on things. After its second week in theatres, the
movie is struggling at the box office in Japan, earning just $8.7
million thus far — almost $6 million less than what it earned in the
smaller Korean market. To be fair, some of the movie’s thunder may have
been stolen by the latest Hayao Miyazaki animated blockbuster Ponyo on the Cliff, which has tallied a staggering $93.2 million in its first four weeks. However, the numbers are even lower than Batman Begins, which made $14 million in its opening weekend in Japan.
Historically, many Hollywood blockbusters and comic book movies in
particular haven’t fared well in Japan (with the exception of Spider-Man). Critic Chika Minagawa offers some possible explanations for why The Dark Knight hasn’t caught on in Japan:
Actually I’d say I agree with those requirements for the most part,
although The Dark Knight is one of the few exceptions to the rule.
Still, I do find it a little odd that Batman is getting the cold
shoulder in Japan, if only because of the animated Batman: Gotham Knight
movie, which brought various Japanese animation houses like Production
I.G. and Madhouse together to embrace the character in their own way. I
suppose there’s just no accounting for taste.

Olha Tonho isso não tem nada haver. As pessoas tem o direito de protestar contra o quer quiserem. Pessoas, que trabalham em associações, ou tem filhos com problemas reclamaram e com razão, o protesto é válido. Não se pode banalizar um problema sério como esse. Obviamente que ninguém vai deixar de ver o filme. Mas as pessoas tem o direito de se protestar e chamar atenção para o que acham de errado.
