Typical US media..
Everything framed for this massive success.
But let’s dive a bit deeper..
That’s ¥410 million, so about $2.8 million USD.
Yes, this is Disney’s biggest success to date:
-Zootopia 2: 410M yen (~$2.8M USD)
- Frozen 2: ~$1.6M USD
- Inside Out 2: ~$1.4M USD
- Moana 2: ~$1M USD
Still, telling that they use the Yen figure (hundreds of millions! Excelsior!) when domestic productions are in the billions:
Kimetsu no Yaiba were 10-15x, and Ghibli opening box offices are typically 4-5x this “record breaker”.
But, congratulations are in order for finally beating Dragon Quest: YOUR STORY, with ¥316 million in its opening week. 👏
