Hypnosis Mic Film Surpasses NT$10M at Box Office; ONE OK ROCK Movie Achieves Strong Results

(CNA, Reporter Wang Hsin-yu, Taipei, 19th) "Hypnosis Mic," the first interactive animated film in Japanese cinema history where the audience decides the ending via real-time voting, saw its total box office revenue in Taiwan surpass NT$10 million last weekend. Meanwhile, the Japanese band ONE OK ROCK's concert film holds its firm position as the highest-grossing Japanese concert film in Taiwan. "Hypnosis Mic" features 48 different plot lines and 7 endings, determined by audience votes. During a previous visit to Taiwan, producer Rikiya Mizoe shared in an interview that to ensure "fairness" and not favor any character, the team strictly controlled the amount of dialogue and song lengths for the 21 main characters, ensuring every fan could feel the charm of their favorite character. Today, the film distributor announced a new wave of promotional items: a set of 8 postcards with scene photos, recreating the happy ending post-credits scene. Furthermore, the ONE OK ROCK concert film features their performance at Japan's Yokohama Nissan Stadium, which attracted 70,000 fans. Fireworks brought the audience's excitement to a peak, making it a "must-see in a lifetime" concert for many music lovers. The latest promotional item for this film is a free ONE OK ROCK photo card with the purchase of a movie ticket. The card includes the main movie visual and close-up shots of the four members.
