Many thanks to Ayako for tweeting the link!
Universal’s 47 Ronin Japanese website is reporting that film will open first in Japan on December 6. The site has officially posted the Japanese trailer that had surfaced earlier. This particular clip focuses on introducing the characters rather than the mythical elements that were prominent in the trailer released elsewhere.
A premiere schedule has not been announced for the film yet. Considering the films is loosely based on the Japanese legend and is opening in Japan first, it seems plausible that the world premiere will take also take place there.
The release dates for the film are below.
Update: The international trailer has been added. Note, it is slow to spool and it is from youtube.
