Anime UK News :: Paprika's US theatrical release continues to impress

Latest News & Rumours

Paprika's US theatrical release continues to impress	Mon, 25 Jun 2007
Paprika, Satoshi Kon's acclaimed latest movie, has found modest success at US theatres, becoming the famed director's highest grossing theatrical anime to date (Kon also directed the theatrically released Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress). Having opened in just a few select cinemas on May 25, Paprika (released by Sony Pictures) has gradually expanded into other North American indie theatres and has now taken in an impressive $480,000 - slightly more than Steamboy ($468,867) and just behind genre classics like Ghost in the Shell ($515,905) and Akira ($553,171). It will be very interesting to see whether or not Paprika can sustain this impressive form into July, given it seems to be surviving through word of mouth and has found an audience outside of the hardcore anime community.
