Director S.S. Rajamouli’s Indian action extravaganza RRR debuted in Japan last week, as it enters the last leg of its year-long global rollout. The film has made nearly half-a-million dollars in Japan in seven days of release, and is expected to turn a profit by its 10th day, the film’s local distributor told Variety.
According to Variety, Keizo Kabata’s Twin released RRR on 209 screens and in 31 IMAX venues in Japan — the widest ever for an Indian film — where it has grossed $495,000 so far. Rajamouli and his two leading men visited Japan in the run-up to the film’s release and interacted with the press and fans. Twin estimates that the film’s JPY73 million first-week haul is the highest ever for an Indian film in Japan. RRR debuted at the 10th spot on the local box office charts, behind nine Japanese films.
“Director Rajamouli is one of the most anticipated directors and has a solid fan base in Japan because Baahubali 2 ran for a year in 2017 and grossed JPY300M. Also, the Japanese theatrical market is getting back to normal and audiences anticipate having an exciting cinema experience like RRR.”
