The response was overwhelming! Weathering With You grossed 1.6 billion yuan in 3 days, 1.3 times more than Your Name in the same period

Makoto Shinkai, a famous Japanese director known worldwide for "Your Name.", released his new animated film "Weathering with You" on July 19. Although Makoto Shinkai has repeatedly stated that he would keep a low profile about the popularity of his new work, the response was still strong and exceeded expectations. The box office grossed 1.64 billion yen in three days, 1.3 times that of "Your Name" during the same period!

The animation "Weathering with You" is set in an era of chaotic weather changes. It tells the story of a boy and a girl who are controlled by fate and "choose" their own way of survival: high school student Morishima Hodaka runs away from home and goes to Tokyo, where he meets Amano Haruna, a girl with incredible power - she can make the weather clear by praying.

"Weathering with You" was released simultaneously in 359 theaters in Japan on July 19, attracting 1,159,020 viewers over the three-day weekend, with box office revenue of 1,643.8 million yen (about 100 million yuan), reaching 128.6% of the box office of "Your Name." during the same period of the year.

"Your Name." currently holds the record of 19.28 million viewers worldwide and 25.03 billion yen in box office revenue, and analysts estimate that "Weathering with You" will eventually break that record.
