SEA MONKEYS RULE JAPAN
UMIZARU (roughly "Sea Monkeys") was a Japanese flick from two years ago about Japan's Coast Guard that did great business in Japan (and screened at the New York Asian Film Festival with the cast in attendance - all dressed in full scuba gear on a blistering hot June afternoon) and spawned a TV series.
Now, the sequel has opened in Japan: LIMIT OF LOVE - UMIZARU. Opening during last week's Golden Week holiday the Fuji TV movie has grossed an astonishing 960 million yen over the weekend - 460% of what the original grossed.
Fuji TV are a savvy bunch and this movie is yet another hit from them (they're also responsible for the BAYSIDE SHAKEDOWN films from which this blog gets its name - aw, cute!). Yah! Look out! An unstoppable wave of sea monkeys!
