The Disappearance of Haruhi [涼宮ハルヒの消失] opened last weekend and it performed much better than the recently opened “Nanoha The Movie 1st” and “Fate Unlimited Blade Works” movies, bringing in about 89 million yen at the box office.
Canned Dogs also has compiled an impressive list of the past anime movie ticket earnings for the opening week:
I think the good performance has something to do with Broccoli’s release of smoked cheese pie [チーズパイ], which was release in conjunction with the Disappearance of Haruhi movie.

Its not something to be impressed, Haruhi has a lot of fans, and most of those fans think that the fourth novel is the best so, with the recent disappointment with the second season this one was was expected to do a lot better
I am looking forward… ^^
It placed 7th, considering the hits “Avatar” and “Invictius” and played on only a handful of theaters.
