Plus the movie is adding in another Sennen Item, in the manga and the original Anime there are only 7 Sennen Items. 4 Kids is really just using this movie to make a quick grab at money before Yu Gi Oh's popularity goes down, and I think they allready know that the movie would fail in Japan since they allready know what really happens after Battle City.
