In TOKYO!<\/b>, three visionary directors (Above: Bong Joon-ho, Leos Carax and Michel Gondry – directed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) come together for an omnibus triptych examining the nature of one unforgettable city as it\u2019s shaped by the disparate people who live, work (and run amok) inside an enormous, constantly evolving, densely populated Japanese megalopolis \u2014 the enchanting and inimitable Tokyo<\/b>.<\/p>\n

This past weekend, TOKYO!<\/b> arrived in New York with a bang; in an amazing opening weekend.<\/p>\n

TOKYO!<\/b> came in ahead of “Watchmen” in the box office competition for highest per screen average in the country this weekend, concentrated on one screen while “Watchmen” went out on thousands. Opening March 6th, the film’s three-day gross came in at $23,460 on one screen (Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema).<\/p>\n
