TBS losing streak with "Inugami Clan"

Last weekend saw a bunch of new film openings, but the highly-anticipated remake of "Murder of the Inugami Clan" by the same director Kon Ichikawa and the leading actor Koji Ishizaka, with all-star cast including Nanako Matsushima, officially flopped.

According to Eiga.com and Movie Consultant Blog, the weekend gross was 132 million yen at No. 8, and is expected to have final gross of 1.5 billion yen range, a huge disappointment for this year's latter half league winner TBS.  Mr. Texas points out that it is the second huge flop for TBS, right after NANA2.  They are hoping to gain back the momentum with "DORORO" next year.
