Wow. Just, wow.

I mean, it's hard to say how it will hold up in the long run, but it definitely looks like it's going to make a ton of money there.

Further good news for Your Name: The LA Film Critics Association have named it the Best Animated Film of 2016 (with The Red Turtle as the runner-up).

20 billion yen does not equal 200 million USD. Just saying.

It did when we first wrote the story about it being predicted to hit 20 billion yen. But you're right, now 20 billion yen is about US$176 million, so I've changed the number in the article.

The top #1 would reflect more of it's native Japanese release. Globally, SA earned quite a bit more than that.

At this rate it could rack over 500 million and will become by far the biggest Japanese box office success ever.

In purchasing power 20 billion yen is about 220 million USD. The dollar is particularly strong right now that's why the yen has a weak exchange rate.
