The ‘Specials’ Craze! Surpassing ‘Wicked 2’ to Claim the Top Spot at the Japanese Box Office!

The movie 〈Specials〉 is causing a stir at the Japanese box office. According to local reports, 〈Specials〉 debuted at number one in the Japanese box office, surpassing the Hollywood blockbuster and TOHO distributed film 〈Wicked: The Eternal Promise〉.

This achievement is particularly significant given the notably unfavorable conditions in terms of screening scale compared to competing films. According to local box office information, 〈Specials〉 started with 238 screens, while 〈Wicked: The Eternal Promise〉 began with 377 screens. Despite starting with a screening scale of about 63% compared to its competitors, 〈Specials〉 proved its strength by claiming the daily number one spot, overcoming the odds.

The unprecedented ‘dance action movie’ 〈Specials〉 has now captured the hearts of Japan and is set to continue its box office success in Korea. With the news of lead actors Snowman’s Sakuma Daisuke and NCT’s Nakamoto Yuta visiting Korea, domestic fans' anticipation has already reached its peak. The film 〈Specials〉, which has conquered Japan and hinted at a box office windfall, will meet audiences in domestic theaters on March 13 (Friday).
