The
final Box Office total for
Secondhand Lions in
Japan now stands at
US$2,159,711
, the highest international box office performance of the film
, as expected , in view of Haley Joel Osment's popularity in Japan
, and due also in large part to the amazing effort that Nippon
Herald Films , the distributor of the film in Japan , put in to
their marketing of the film . Beautiful , new and classy artwork
unlike anything else seen in the marketing of the film in USA
and other international territories , a special appearance by
none other than Haley Joel Osment himself , both live and in special
personalised theatrical trailers all added to the box office success
of Secondhand Lions in Japan.
No
other international box office came close, with United Kingdom
only achieving US$1,276,949 and Spain with US1,055,200 .
Secondhandlions.net
salutes Nippon Herald Films and Japan on a wonderful
job well done, and we applaud you for recognising Secondhand
Lions for what it really is , a classy, uplifting family film
that was well worth promoting . You treated the film with so much
class and respect , and the box office results show that those
efforts were well worth it !

Secondhand
Lions
finally drops out of the Top 15 Box Office Chart for Japan in
its fifth frame due to a whole slew of new films opening across
Japan. Although we are unable to bring you the box office takings
for the 5th week, it is likely that Secondhand Lions may
continue to play at smaller theatres across Japan for a few more
weeks before finally ending its run. It
is still showing on six screens currently, with one screen committed
to showing it till 3rd September and another theatre committed
to a screen run of Secondhand Lions till 10th September 2004.
