The live-action film adaptation of the fourth story arc of Hirohiko Araki’s long-running JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga series, directed by 56-year-old Takashi Miike (Terra Formars, Blade of the Immortal), received wide release in 323 theaters across Japan on August 4.
While its actual box office gross has not yet been revealed, Jojo has been already considered as the biggest box office flop in this summer.
The 118-minute film earned a disappointing 166 million yen on 117,000 admissions and ranked only 5th in its first weekend box office, then quickly disappeared from the top 10 in its second weekend.
