Gross[edit]

There appears to be conflicts between users (@Hiragaria: and some anons) about the film's gross. I suggest to discuss it here rather than entering into an edit war.Tintor2 (talk) 14:41, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well the movie made $22.1 million in Japan

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-01-30/top-39-grossing-domestic-japanese-films-of-2015-listed/.98019

And then according to Box Mojo it made $15.4 million in China.

With the other grosses on there aswell it looks like it does add up to about $40 million. Scabab (talk) 14:58, 21 May 2016 (UTC)scabab[reply]

Are you sure the ANN's numbers, as reported by the MPAA of Japan, are domestic sales only and does not include worldwide sales? I ask because Box Office Mojo and The Numbers are reporting very different domestic numbers. And rough glance at the google translation of the source that ANN used, there isn't any indications on whether those numbers included international sales. —Farix (t | c) 17:55, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I'm absolutely positive. The sales listed are all strictly Japanese grosses only. You need look no further than what they've listed DBZ Resurrection F at to see that (it made almost $63 million worldwide). Additionally that article was posted in January 2016 before the movie came out in China which was in March 2016.

Boruto grossed ¥2.62 billion in Japan which converted to $22.1 million either at the time the article was published or when the movie was released.

Box Mojo and The Numbers have different numbers because The Numbers stopped tracking it after opening weekend.

http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Boruto-Naruto-the-Movie-(Japan)#tab=box-office

This link has Boruto at making $259,000 from 2 days but further weekends or days were not listed.

Box Mojo however tracked it for a lot longer and it's $919,000 final gross was what it had made after 55 days.

So what it comes down to is this page

http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Boruto-Naruto-the-Movie-(Japan)#tab=international

Has the movie at making $17.1 million internationally across the countries it lists. It then made $22.1 million in Japan. That adds to $39.2 million. Add the $919,000 it made in US and $69,000 it made in France which is listed on Box Mojo and it adds up to $40.2 million so it's right.Scabab (talk) 00:34, 23 May 2016 (UTC)scabab[reply]

I know that I'm too late for this but the box office gross is just so wrong. Boruto grossed in Japan ¥2.62 billion (around 22 million USD) and grossed $17,345,348 worldwide. We should never combine Japan box office with worldwide. I mean if it was written on Box Office Mojo that Boruto grossed 40 million worldwide then yes we can add it like that. So if you want to note it as "40 million" then you must remove the 2 billion yen. Diogatari (talk) 19:58, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Voice actors[edit]

Okay, let's hold off on adding any unconfirmed voice actors unless there is verifiable information available per WP:OR, WP:V and WP:CRYSTAL. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 23:03, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Review[edit]

Does the film have an equivalent Japanese title? If so, you can put that and the Start of a New Era Project stuff into footnotes. Also, the Start of a New Era Project isn't mentioned once outside the lead, and isn't sourced. Maybe source it and include it as part of the Dev section?
- No. This happened to the latest films like Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie and The Last: Naruto the Movie. The original title is in English. Also removed the new era project. I haven't seen it anywhere.
Released in August 2015, the film became the franchise's highest grossing film, and its home media releases had good sales to the point of becoming Japan's best-selling releases in 2016. - perhaps change to "home media versions" to avoid repetition.
Done.
The film opens with a battle between ninja Sasuke Uchiha [...] Sarada Uchiha (Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha's daughter), - Double linking for Sasuke.
Can't see the double link.
Boruto was first announced in December 2014 by a post-credits scene in The Last. - Maybe give The Last its full title here. It hasn't been used outside the lead so far.
- Done.
Masashi Kishimoto began to write the script the following month. - Maybe change to "began writing".
- Done
Yamashita said that he had felt pressured due to the time constraints, owing to the film's planned release date, and had almost refused to direct the film. - Repetition of "film".
- Done.
Theatergoers were given two different types of fans - Link to Hand fan or whatever this "fan" was. Otherwise people might see theatergoers being given enthusiastic people covered in different images. Amusing, but not accurate.
- Done.
Pleased with the film Boruto, Sanpei asked Kishimoto to make another movie which elicited the wry request that she let him rest.[52] - You've used "movie" here rather than "film". Perhaps, while adjusting for consistancy, you might rewrite the sentence so it's less clunky.
- Tried one.
The television anime series of Boruto will retell the events of the movie but with additional content.[58] Reading the anime's article, it seems that the series acts as a prequel, and I didn't see anything about it retelling the movie's events. Plus, again you've used "movie" in this instance rather than "film".
- Done.

That's all that stood out. Rather a chore given my disinterest in the Naturo/Boruto scene, but I've done it. Once these are sorted, I don't think there's anything else keeping the article back. --ProtoDrake (talk) 12:16, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks for the review @ProtoDrake:. Hope this works.Tintor2 (talk) 16:10, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Tintor2: Alright, I'd say this is a Pass. Also...the double link thing was a mistake on my part; Mistook Sakura for Sasuke. Sorry. --ProtoDrake (talk) 16:30, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Protodrake: for helping me as usual. Also, congrats to @Flowerpiep: for all the edits to the article.Tintor2 (talk) 16:34, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
