Live action Yamato did extremely well in the Japan box office. Was definitely a hit.
The Yamato Resurrection film did decently. But not as well. I think part of the problem is that Nishizaki (when he was still alive) wanted to continue the story from the already established continuity (such as it is) from Final Yamato (1983). And that timeline is not really people's favorite. Final Yamato was an epic scale finale to the original show, to be sure. But... it had... problems.
By most accounts, the reception was mixed. Some liked it, some did not. I have yet to see it myself, so I can't have an opinion (though I've seen plenty of short clips and design work - all of which was impressive)
The new Yamato (Neo Yamato?) series is basically looking like they're going all the way back to the beginning (like the live action film) and remaking the original 1974 series. Earth gets planet-bombed by the Gamilons, IJN Yamato is resurrected into Space Battleship Yamato. 148,000 LY to Iscandar. All of that. Just with new animation techniques and probably some tweaking/additions to the original story. But the broad strokes would be the same.
