Your Name and In This Corner of the World will be out of the box office top 10 this weekend after 26 and 15 consecutive weeks respectively. Sword Art Online is looking to have a harsh drop of around 50% signalling zero chance of challenging Love Live for highest grossing late night anime film. Such drops are comparable to Death Note's live action adaptation which opened at 450 million and made 2.3 billion yen overall. Expensive 4DX tickets could push it to 2.5 billion.
