Oh and by the way, what does Tendou's aunt have to do with all of this? :eyebrow:

She bought me tickets to the movie? :sly:

She bought me tickets to the movie? :sly:

I don't know ... she must have done something since you mention her in the title of this thread ...

 

[Keith Justice]

Nah, that's either Japanese for grandmother, or I spelled it wrong... I wonder which....

 

[kyo28]

Yeah I was teasing you
- obaa-tyan = grandmother
- oba-tyan = aunt

 

[Keith Justice]

"tyan"?

I thought it was, "chan"... which I'm now just noticing seems to sound the same when I say it. :eyebrow:

It's the same, just an alternate way of romanizing it.

It could have reached number one because of Boukenger -- don't underestimate the power of Yasuaki Kurata!

I remember reading the same thing happening in '03. The double bill that year did really well, but for Abaranger, as viewers were bailing on snoozefest Paradise Lost. People could be bailing on GSL, too...:shrug:

 

[DiscoInferno]

And this seems to a comparison of all the new-gen films:

　アギト：12.5億　 9月公開
　龍騎：14.3億　 8月公開 　
　５５５：15.0億　 8月公開
　剣：9.2億 　9月公開(3週興行)
　響鬼：12億　 　9月公開
　カブト： 8.36億　 8月公開

The site you linked only seems to go back as far as 4 weeks ago, however it does list the previous position as 4 on the week of 8/12 and the previous week was the premiere. So obviously Kimiden didn't check his sources. Someone better make a retraction.
