Japanese Anime Film 'Suzume' Creates A New Box Office Record

Tokyo, April 9 - Japanese animated fantasy adventure film Suzume has created a new box office record for an anime movie.

Directed by Makoto Shinkai, the movie has crossed the $100 million mark (¥13.2 billion) in China, becoming the first ever Anime title to reach this landmark in a market outside Japan. It reached the $100 million mark on its 16th day after getting released on March 24 in the country.



Suzume had already become the highest-grossing Japanese film ever in China, after crossing director Shinkai's own anime blockbuster Your Name which grossed around $82 million in the country, according to Shinkai. China has been the biggest market for Suzume outside the home market Japan where it has grossed around $110 million (¥14.50 billion) so far.

Produced by CoMix Wave Films, Suzume's worldwide gross collection is around $250 million (¥32.95 billion), including approx. $140 million internationally. In India, the film will be released on April 21, in the original language along with dubbed Hindi version.

Suzume is a coming-of-age story for the 17-year-old protagonist, Suzume, set in various disaster-stricken locations across Japan, where she must close the doors causing devastation.
