Rex (1993) watch online

Rex: A Dinosaur's Story (Japanese: REX 恐竜物語, Hepburn: REX: Kyōryū monogatari) is a 1993 Japanese film directed by Haruki Kadokawa, based on a manga written by Masanori Hata and illustrated by Clamp. The film stars Yumi Adachi as Chie, a young girl who befriends a young Tyrannosaurus rex after it hatches from an egg co-discovered by her paleontologist father (Tsunehiko Watase).

The film grossed ¥2.2 billion on an estimated ¥2 billion budget, and a total outlay of ¥2.45 billion once the marketing costs of ¥450 million were factored in. Nonetheless, Rex was a box-office failure, despite being the second-highest-grossing Japanese film of 1993, seventh-highest-grossing film in Japan of 1993 and Shochiku's highest-grossing release at the time (it was surpassed by Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in 2002). Commentators have suggested that the film aimed to capitalize on the success of Jurassic Park, which debuted a month prior. At the 17th Japan Academy Film Prize in 1994, Adachi won the Newcomer of the Year award for her performance.
