We may do another sequel if we do well internationally.

Director Keishi Otomo on RuroKen live-action film releases in 2014

I read this somewhere in an article. I can’t just find it anymore. Warner Bros says RK1 allowed them to do the 2014 sequels. Doing a sequel of a film means the first one made it to merit another one. Now, will the 2014 releases allow them to do the much awaited #JinchuuArc?

Being an accountant by profession, I tried to construct the RK trilogy’s financials. Given the ff data which was made public:

And using these assumptions:

1.Filming overshot by 1 month, overshooting their production budget by 30% more. (Although 1 month is really just around 10%, just trying to be conservative in the estimates)

2. RK2/RK3 are treated as one project but for management reporting/analysis purposes, the two are separate.

3.Based on averages in the film industry:

Production overhead - 15% of total production cost

Distribution/Marketing - 30% of gross revenue/receipts

Marketing overhead - 10% of total production cost

Note also that the acceptable net margin for the film industry is 12%.

Overall, the trilogy made it good financially but I think the producers would think twice on doing the final arc. Internal management reports would show RK1 made it better than its sequel. Although both are at par in terms of gross and net margins, the first film was just one release and the sequel were released in 2 installments. Two releases would mean additional distribution and marketing spending which they could have save and put in the Jinchuu Arc

But our hopes are high because they surely made it well in total.

Notes: 2 major parts of film industry financials

Production cost-includes cost incurred in pre-prod, filming, post-prod, screenplay rights, actors/directors/crew/staff salaries and bonuses, set construction

Distribution cost-expenditures for promoting, mode of release (film, DVD, photobooks, tie-up novels, etc.), product ads tie-in, TV guesting, multi-media advertising (radio, website, etc.)

Sorry for the long post. And for the accounting and financial terms. Those are just too nerdy.

Takeru and Keishi Otomo were talking about Jinchu in Manila and Keishi said they would do it if they have the chance. In an interview they were asked about the fourth film and would the story be a prequel or after the Legend Ends and Takeru said "Wouldn't it be the same thing?"

To me it sounds like they are very open for the idea!

Terrific!

ただいまでござる。 I’m home. recurring the famous scene from the comic series. Though I love the ending of the legend ends, It is a pity (again) that the movie couldn’t include the scene when kenshin was returning to kamiya dojo with kenshin group after the kyoto battle. I would treat this as a daily scene after the legend ends incident = )

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely work with us! ^^x
