Fifty Shades of Grey, like its literary inspiration, failed to catch fire in Japan, bringing in $682,000 from 324 screens on Saturday and Sunday, putting it in fifth place on the weekend box office-charts in its debut.
Terrace House: Closing Door, the big-screen conclusion to Fuji TV’s Big Brother-like reality show, topped the weekend chart in Japan with revenue of $4.3 million from only 160 screens on its Valentine’s Day weekend debut. Big Hero 6 dropped to the second place after topping the Japanese charts for six weekends in a row.
