Did the box office of the animated film "Weathering With You" really exceed 1.6 billion in its first week?
I think that in addition to following the new series in July, there are also many excellent works in animated movies that you can check out, such as "Game of Life Zero" recently released in China, and "Weather" released abroad. "Son", but I believe that many people have seen this released movie through various channels.
Speaking of "Weathering With You"
This work mainly tells the story of the male protagonist Hodaka who ran away from home and came to Tokyo to meet the heroine Amano Hina who can control the weather. The story of two people working together to resist fate and find their own way of "survival".
"Weathering With You" is another masterpiece by Makoto Shinkai after "Your Name". "Your Name" was not only very popular in Japan, but also very popular in mainland China. Domestic revenue was 576 million yuan. At that time, Makoto Shinkai announced that he would produce a new animated movie.
However, the final result was quite satisfactory.
Recently, the first-week box office data of "Weathering With You" came out. The box office revenue reached 1.6438 billion yen, exceeding the first-week box office data of "Your Name" that year. "1.3 times the box office of the same period, and also beat the first-week box office of "Avengers 4: Endgame" and "Dragon Ball Super Broly" in Japan in the same year ("Avengers 4": 1.468 billion, "Dragon Ball Super" 》:10.51).
The performance of "Weathering With You" has also attracted the attention of domestic media. Recently, CCTV 6's "Chinese Film Report" column has also reported on "Weathering With You" and commented on it. Appreciate the beautiful pictures.
At present, "Weathering With You" has also started to be rated on major movie websites. I heard that the Yahoo rating is not very good, only 3.92 points, and it is still suspected of being brushed up. At the time, "Your Name" It’s already around 4 o’clock in the run-up, but I don’t dare to brag about this movie now.
Then, the rating of "Weathering With You" on the foreign IMDb is 9.0 points, while the domestic rating on Douban is only 7.9 points.
Many people think that the most controversial aspect is the plot, or to be more precise, the ending of the story. Makoto Shinkai had already revealed it when he was promoting it, and it feels like this was what he expected.
As for the result, it still depends on the performance of the follow-up work. Currently, some netizens feel that it will be difficult to surpass "Your Name". Overall, it seems to be relatively average. What I am looking forward to most is the film about "Your Name". Easter egg in "Your Name".
The most anticipated thing now is when "Weathering With You" will be released in China. Based on the popularity of this animated movie and the lack of harmonious plot, I believe it will be introduced within the year.
The above is purely a personal opinion!
