CATDOLL: Doraemon 2016 theatrical box office exceeded 4 billion, setting a new record

Although the 2016 Doraemon theatrical version "Doraemon: New Nobita and the Birth of Japan" is a remake of an old work, it is still a box office hit. So far, it has exceeded 4 billion yen, setting a new record in history.

Doraemon: Nobita's Birth of Japan was released on March 5, 2016, and has been running for two months (62 days) so far. According to statistics, the box office of this work has exceeded 4 billion yen (the exact figure is 4,037,148,300 yen) by May 4, and the number of viewers who participated in the movie is 3,559,407. Compared with Nobita's Space Heroes released in 2015, this year's theatrical box office has increased by 104.4%, breaking the record of 3.98 billion yen of the theatrical animation Nobita's Secret Gadget Museum released in 2013.

So, why did this remake of the old work have such an amazing box office? According to Japanese media, there are two main reasons: First, the original work "Nobita: The Birth of Japan" was released in 1989, and the remake of this time evoked the childhood memories of many old audiences. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the year and relive the childhood feelings, people went to the theater again and "made history" with Nobita and others; second, the voice actor lineup of the remake of the theater has changed a lot. Some middle-aged voice actors have taken over the work of their predecessors and created new miracles with their unique voices. When reviewing the plot of the old work, the audience can also feel the freshness of the voice.

"Doraemon: New Nobita and the Birth of Japan" is a remake of "Nobita and the Birth of Japan" released in 1989. It tells the story of Nobita and his friends running away from home. Since the land in modern Japan is owned by people, they travel to Japan 70,000 years ago when there was no one living there, and thus participate in the history of the birth of Japan.
