The World of Kanako
“Say goodbye to reason.”
When Kanako, a model daughter and a brilliant student, disappears, her mother asks her ex-husband, a violent former policeman, to find her. As his investigation progresses, his idealized image of Kanako cracks: the girl hides a dark life that her father can not even imagine.

Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~47/53, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (35% of the domestic run, typical for Mystery) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
