'Death Note' generated spinoff
World Brief
The first "Death Note" pic, distribbed by Warners Japan, earned $24.6 million following its June release. The second, which bowed in November and concludes the story, has passed the $34.5 million mark. Meanwhile, the comic on which the pics are based has sold 23 million copies in paperback editions.
The as-yet-untitled spinoff will go before the cameras sometime next year, with the NTV web again producing.
