Japan Box Office: Shinkai's "your name." Dominates for Ninth Consecutive Week

Makoto Shinkai's record-breaking anime film Kimi no Na wa./your name. continued to dominate Japanese movie theaters over the weekend, ranking No.1 again for the nine consecutive weeks since its release on August 26 (Even in my nearest cinema complex, it is still screened six times a day). Now its total domestic gross has reached a gigantic 16.41 billion yen.

 

As expected, the film has already surpassed the total gross of Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo (15.5 billion yen) and James Cameron's 2010 film Avatar (15.6 billion) in Japan, and has become the 9th top-grossing film in the history of the Japanese box office. Its next possible targets are Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (2002/17.3 billion) and Bayside Shakedown 2 (2003/17.35 billion).
