The Boy and The Heron soars above Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes while Wonka dazzles abroad
The Studio Ghibli film debuted to $12.8 million in North America, for a total of $114.2 million worldwide.
Feathers, fur, and musical numbers reigned supreme at this weekend’s box office, where birds, trolls, and a kaiju duked it out for the #1 spot.
The Boy and the Heron, the latest from the mind of Hayao Miyakazi and Studio Ghibli came out on top, debuting to $12.8 million at the domestic box office for a grand total of $114.2 million worldwide.
Clearly cinephiles worldwide were pleased to see the legendary filmmaker behind titles like Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro make his unexpected return with yet another magical epic. The film follows young Mahito, who ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead after his mother’s death. Though the mythical creatures and phantasmagoric imagery says otherwise, the semi-autobiographical story also draws upon realism, not unlike The Wind Rises, the film previously thought to be the director’s last.

Not surprised. Even the theater in my small town is showing both the dubbed and subbed versions.

love hearing that! hopefully it doesn't get snubbed this award season
another fun fact is that Godzilla Minus One was on #3 this week, i don't think ever in the NA box office history two Japanese movies were on the top 3 at the same time
