Appendices

  • 252 theaters screened The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? nationwide for 857,582 theatergoers during its initial 1984 Japanese theatrical run. With 1,100-yen pre-sale tickets and higher at-door prices, the creators easily recouped the 200,020,000-yen production costs several times over. (That production cost total was only about $1 million in US dollars twenty years ago, but several times higher now due to inflation and the yen's rise.)
  • While the movie earned less than the #1 movie at the Japanese box office in 1984 (Ghostbusters with an estimated 6.2 billion yen), it compared well with other Japanese live-action and animated movies then. The #1 1984 domestic film (The Legend of the Eight Samurai) earned an estimated 3.5 billion yen, while the #1 1984 animated film (Doraemon: Nobita's Magical World Adventure) earned an estimated 2.5 billion yen. The Macross movie earned in the same estimate range at the box office as 1984's Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind (1.1 billion yen), 1986's Laputa, The Castle in the Sky (870 million yen), and 1988's My Neighbor Totoro/Grave of the Fireflies double-billing (890 million yen).
