Widely panned in Japan, the Attack on Titan movie has been racking up a decent enough box office—enough, at least, for a press conference to show gratitude for the movie’s “smash hit” status (as well as mark the beginning of the streaming TV series). The Japanese press—like Eiga.com, Cinema Today, and Model Press—were on hand to cover the event.
