The live-action film of Ayumi Ishii's Nobunaga Concerto historical manga topped the Japanese box office for the second weekend since it opened. The film sold 461,321 tickets, and earned 604,122,100 yen (about US$4.996 million) on 324 screens over the past weekend. The film has sold a cumulative 1.30 million tickets, and grossed 1.7 billion yen (about US$14 million) since opening on January 23.
