Fluctuations in Films' Box-Office Performance and Distribution Revenue

「During the interim period, the Company distributed 5 films, including “Soreike! Anpanman: Pantan and the Star of Promise” and “The Eve of War,” which were particularly successful. However, revenue declined year on year because the other films performed poorly and production revenue from films and subtitling and dubbing decreased.」

「当四半期は『未来』映画『それいけ！アンパンマン パンタンと約束の星』『モブ子の恋』の３作品を配給いたしましたが、配給収入が前年同期を下回り、売上高は前年同期比で減収となりました。」

「To minimize the impact of these risks, in the film exhibition business we seek to reduce the risk of variability in box-office performance through flexible programming and special screenings. In the film production and distribution business, we seek to improve returns on film investments by developing high-quality projects in-house, while working to prevent production delays and reduce risks through thorough management of each film from the production stage.」

「出資作品の償却費が増加したこと等から、営業損失は555百万円（前年度は営業損失420百万円）となりました。」

「During the first half, we distributed 8 films. 『それいけ！アンパンマン　チャポンのヒーロー！』 and 『片思い世界』 were hits, but other films performed poorly. In addition, production revenue from films and subtitling and dubbing declined, resulting in a year-on-year revenue decline.」

「The box-office performance of films is difficult to forecast, and some films may fail to attract a certain level of audience. In the film production and distribution business, rights revenue from some invested films may fall below expectations. Production delays, postponement of release dates or cancellation of releases may also affect the Group's operating results and financial position.」

「During the year, we distributed 14 films, including 『それいけ！アンパンマン　ロボリィとぽかぽかプレゼント』, 『ゴールド・ボーイ』, 『愛にイナズマ』 and 『せかいのおきく』, but overall performance was weak and none became a hit.」

「During the cumulative period of the current quarter, Itte! Anpanman and other films achieved high attendance. However, the films generally lacked hit titles, resulting in a year-on-year revenue decline.」

「During the cumulative period of the current quarter, Itte! Anpanman and Lost Care, released in the previous fiscal year, among others, achieved high attendance. However, the films generally lacked hit titles, and distribution revenue was below the same period of the previous year.」

「Although distribution revenue was below the same period of the previous year, total revenue increased year on year because production revenue and allocation income from invested films exceeded the previous year's levels.」

「Among the films distributed during the year, Egoist, Lost Care and other films performed well, but there were no major hit films.」

「Although distributed films including 『それいけ！アンパンマン ドロリンとバケ～るカーニバル』, 『さかなのこ』 and 『窓辺にて』 performed well, overall performance was weak. In addition, the drop-back in distribution revenue and profit distributions from investments related to 『花束みたいな恋をした』, which was released in January 2021 and became a major long-running hit, resulted in a substantial year-on-year revenue decline.」

「Although 『それいけ！アンパンマン ドロリンとバケ～るカーニバル』, 『さかなのこ』 and 『ツユクサ』, among others, performed well, revenue declined substantially year on year due to the decrease in distribution revenue and distribution income from 『花束みたいな恋をした』, which was released in January 2021 and became a blockbuster with a long theatrical run.」

「Although 『それいけ！アンパンマン ドロリンとバケ～るカーニバル』 and 『ツユクサ』, among others, performed well, revenue declined substantially year on year due to the decrease in distribution revenue and distribution income from 『花束みたいな恋をした』, which was released in January 2021 and became a blockbuster with a long theatrical run.」

「Revenue increased year on year because operating restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 were less stringent than in the previous fiscal year and films including Just Remembering, Drive My Car and Missing achieved high attendance. However, revenue did not recover to pre-COVID levels and the business recorded a substantial loss.」

「Revenue increased year on year because operating restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 were less stringent than in the same period of the previous year and films including Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet achieved high attendance. However, revenue did not recover to pre-COVID levels and the business recorded a substantial loss.」

「Although some films, including We Made a Beautiful Bouquet, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train and Debut in the Third Year, achieved high attendance, revenue declined sharply year on year because all cinemas were closed from April through early June of the previous year and, after operations resumed, the Group operated under restrictions on the number of seats sold, shortened operating hours and limits on the sale of food and beverages at concession stands, among other measures.」

「Although some films, including Debut in the Third Year, released in August, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train, released in October, achieved high attendance, revenue declined sharply year on year because performance was generally weak, all cinemas were closed from April through early June in response to requests from local authorities, and seating was sold on a reduced-capacity basis as an infection-control measure after operations resumed.」

「Although One Cut of the Dead, Asako I & II, Mori, the Place in the Woods and other films performed well, revenue declined year on year due to the limited number of hit films.」

「Although Mori, the Place in the Woods, Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer, The Third Murder and other films performed well, revenue declined year on year due to the limited number of hit films.」

「In the film exhibition business, box-office performance varies significantly by film, is unstable and difficult to forecast. If films that fail to achieve a certain level of performance continue to be released, the Group's operating results and financial position may be affected. In addition, if changes in the market or other factors make it difficult for a cinema to remain in operation, that cinema may be closed, which may affect the Group's operating results and financial position.」
