Suzume no Tojimari is already the Makoto Shinkai movie with the best first day — Kudasai

The Twitter account “@eigarankingnews“, which reports on the box office in the film industry in Japan, reported that the director’s new film makoto shinkai, Suzume no Tojimari (Suzume’s Door-Locking), grossed around 495 million yen (over US$3.56 million) on its first day in theaters in Japan.

What is spectacular about the figure is not only the fact that it is quite high, but also the fact that it is already the Makoto Shinkai film that has grossed the most money on its first day. It should be remembered that “the golden dream” of any film production in Japan is to reach 10 billion yen (more than 72 million dollars). Seeing as this film already achieved 5 percent of this figure in a single day, is an amazing performance coming for a new anime film?

On the other hand, the tape is already available in theaters in Japan since last November 11, while Crunchyroll will handle its distribution in Latin America on a date to be announced. Previously, the director had already commented that he began writing the project’s script when the Japanese government declared the first state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
