"ROOKIES" rakes in 1.2 billion on opening weekend
As expected, the "ROOKIES" movie was a major success at the box office in its opening weekend. The film played on 428 screens across Japan, and in two days it was seen by over 980,000 people, earning more than 1.2 billion yen.
The movie's performance is being compared to "Hana Yori Dango Final," which was the #1 live-action film and #2 overall (behind "Gake no Ue no Ponyo") of 2008. "ROOKIES" opened on 7% more screens (compared to 400) and made 21.7% more in ticket revenue. At this rate, "ROOKIES" could eventually earn over 9 billion yen in theaters, given that "Hana Yori Dango Final" ultimately grossed 7.75 billion. Toho hopes that "ROOKIES" may even break the 10 billion yen mark, which has only been achieved by three live-action Japanese films so far. Link to article |

I know for sure that one of them is Odoru Daisousasen 2, since that holds the record for highest-grossing live-action film in Japan (over 17.3 billion yen). Don't know the other two offhand, but I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of the other Odoru Daisousasen films also reached 10 billion.
