Pokémon Movie News

From our friends over at PPN we have the final Japanese box office earnings for the ninth Pokémon movie, Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy.

Earnings have been revealed to be ¥3.4 billion (US$29 million), which are the second lowest earnings in history of Pokémon, falling just behind the fourth movie at ¥3.9 billion but ahead of the fifth movie at ¥2.67 billion. However, the ninth movie is the fifth-highest earning Toho movie of the year, facing stiff competition from Gorō Miyazaki's Tales from Earthsea, among others.

Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy will be released on Region 2 DVD in Japan today.
