"Kimi no Na wa./your name" Reaches Sensational 10 Billion Yen Mark

Distributor Toho announced today that Makoto Shinkai's Kimi no Na wa./your name earned an astonishing 10.08 billion yen from 7.74 million admissions in 28 days since its release on August 26. It now becomes the first non-Studio Ghibli and non-Hayao Miyazaki anime film to reach the milestone in the Japanese cinema history. The last Japanese anime film that reached the record was Miyazaki's 2013 film Kaze Tachinu/The Wind Rises that made 12 billion yen from its domestic run.

As reported, the 107-minute film has dominated the Japanese weekend box office for four consecutive weeks. Now it also ranks 9th in the all-time Japanese film box office ranking, surpassing Studio Ghibli's 2010 film The Secret World of Arrietty directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi.
