Wouldn't worry about inflation in Japan

Why is it a useless comparison if people keep buying tickets? Which they did with the Girls und Panzer movie.
I would think that the distributor of any movie would want to keep it in theaters as long as people are paying to watch it. |
Especially since the other top movies on the list also benefited from repeat ticket sales to the same people over and over again. I know that Titanic and Frozen both did excellent repeat sales to women in Japan.

Their original target was 2 billion yen($17.5 million) so about that since they said they were losing money if it made less than that.

Because all of its close competition did have a paying audience that would have kept going, they just didn't have 54 weeks to make it to the theater. They had 40 weeks less than that in the case of Rebellion! Saying, "GuP did so well in theaters and beat Rebellion and got so close to Love Live!" When its competition was in theaters for 14 weeks or 29 weeks(still a bit long), it's not really a useful comparison anymore. Those films would have probably maintained their audience better than GuP, which puttered around for its last 30+ weeks and just slightly bested Rebellion even so.

Really? I thought I read in an interview with the producer that they kept the cost quite low, roughly around the cost of his other films, which were around $3-$5 million USD. $17.5 million is a pretty large budget for an anime film outside of Ghibli.

There is no inflation in Japan though. Over the past 30 years prices have been very stable there.
