Meanwhile Shinkai is closing in on 10x that amount.

wtf i love knk now, best movie ever

>>148980129
It's not beating Love Live. I'm predicting a 2.2 billion run if I were to compare it to Rebellion's numbers.

well I mean KnK has story while K-ON has... instruments and sweets?

K-On is better imo

>>148977473
But it will never beat Your Name

>>148981356
More like 2.5-2.7 It will reach 2.2 in a couple of weeks at most, and movies in Japan last for months in theaters.

It's shit

Who cares about this shitty forced melodrama when we got Your Name and Godzilla this year?

>>148981506
You don't understand. It was never a romance. It was a deep story about REDEMPTION.

They do in the movie

>>148981796
havent touched nanoha since strikers but picked up

This was already more profitable than the K-On movie from its first week alone considering this is actually Kyoani's project but the fact that it's even more successful just makes it all the more sweet.

>>148977514
Yes.

Can someone clarify this to me?

How was it that it was 14 weeks for 1.7 billion when the news hit around January 29.

How do they count the weeks?

Anyone?
A standalone movie will of course have an easier time of being successful than a continuation of a series.

>>148985919
K-On! was extremely popular and had just finished its second season. Koe no Katachi was out of the spotlight for quite some time as the manga was long finished. As a standalone movie it carried more risk.

A kind anon braved the shitposting on the other thread and posted an updated chart.

It already beat GuP.

>>148981506
Because it's not a romance.

>Koe no Katachi was out of the spotlight for quite some time as the manga was long finished.
I don't think most of the people who went to see Koe no Katachi even knew what it was. They were all simply riding on the Kimi no Na wa high and just wanted to watch another anime movie.

>>148981506
if you're talking about the manga read between the lines

>>148987347
It beat everything else not named Eva in box office top 10. I doubt it will outsell LL though because that had some good fucking legs doing 900 Mil outside of box office top 10.

>>148987464
Those are just assumptions.

>>148977473
Does that account for inflation?

A normal sensible person who doesn't like to think about his enemies all the time because i want the peace of mind.

>>148987362
I think Shinkai and Kyoani can exist very peacefully, no need to attack each other since they're both successful.

>Yamada goes from Keion, a feel good anime, to Koe no Katachi, an anime that makes you feel like shit

That was unexpected.

>>148981796
what anime is this

>>148988096
keion made me feel like shit

>>148987952

But Shinkai just slain KyoAni 8 times.

She definitely has range, if she wasn't at Kyoani it would actually be tested.

>>148988432
if she wasn't at kyoani she'd be nothing and doing nothing

>>148988492
Tbh Takemoto should quit, he's shitting up KyoAni with his lack of talent. Yamada and Ishidate are their aces now.

>>148988559
>Ishidate
>The man who centered his debut anime on a useless gimmick
>The man who is only good when directing epissodes but even his movies suck dick because he can't be good unsupervised
>Is an ACE
Fujita is a better episode director DESU.
>>148988432
No one would give her a debut series after directing only 3 episodes prior. She would be still directing episodes even now if she was somewhere else.

>>148988643
He is an ace. He got promoted and is doing their grand prize winner, it's a pretty ambitious project considering the setting and subject matter plus they want a more broader audience than what Koe no Katachi got.

>>148977473
Things also cost more than they did 5 years ago

>>148988939
Nope. The ticket price for Keion is actually higer than that of Koe no Katachi.

>>148981796
Fucking nice.

>>148977514

>not owning shares of KyoAni

Look at this guy.

>>148988432
If she wasn't at kyoAni, she would direct some J-drama.
IIRC the reason why she interested in directing anime because kyoAni.

>>148987418
is this the reason it sold so well, only because it's an anti-bully story for schools?

>>148989782
Bullying doesn't exist in japan

>>148989782
Yes. The manga won awards because of that theme too.

>>148989782
Next in Yamada's plan:

Anti-Sekuhara

>>148989782
To the point where MEXT is planning to screen it in schools nationwide. It also has blessings from Japanese community of deaf people.

>>148990103
What exactly are they thinking this will achieve?

>>148990172
They are not only saving anime but Japan as well.

Kizu is doing better by making everyone lolicons

>>148990220
Nigga pls. Do they think this will make bullies stop or some shit? Might as well make them play katawa shoujo

>>148990232
Japan already is lolicon

>>148990172
Reduce actual bullying in schools?
https://u.pomf.is/fftvuk.webm

Also Kyoani must be grinning from the national exposure.

>>148990276
>Reduce actual bullying in schools?
Srsly m8? I'll fucking gut myself if such an autistically stubborn nation as japan can be changed by a fucking anime.

>>148990321
anime is just a medium

At least that's what the gubberment seems to think. More power to Kyoani, I guess.

>>148977473
This is not really indication of its success and that its better and more popular than K-On! or Disapperance

Its more indication that anime industry grew since then - the movies in general earn more money, KyoAni is a bigger name more known and with better experience promoting its works and connections within distributors/cinemas.

The more KyoAni popularity grows, the bigger profits they`ll be able to make since more people will come to watch their works.

>>148990529
Mainstream didn't even know Yamada directed Keion. Even in marketing they talked about the team that brought TLS.

>>148990801
Because they thought K-ON was made by male or because was it because TLS won award?

>>148991044
Because no one gave a shit about who made Keion. People watched Keion for the music and the cast not for the team behind it. TLS on the other hand was a much smaller thing and it won an award so it kinda stuck with Yamada more.

>>148987589
More like deflation. The Japanese economy sorta sucks.

>>148987347
This chart is old. GuP was last reported at over 2.3 billion. And is still in some theaters. We won't get a final tally till end of year. It will be around 2.4 billion.

What a time to be alive

>>148991771
Might as well post how Avatar did worldwide in that chart.

I heard the movie had a different ending compared to the manga

>>148987347
It won't beat raburaibu but they really found a way.

>>148993016
By its 6th week LL was already out of the box office. It comes down to how long fans will rewatch this and what extras is KyoAni going to offer. Passing Madoka is a given now but passing the 2.4Bil and 2.7 Bil of GaruPan and LL! Is the next challenge.
