So yeah,I guess it's official,Hosoda's reached mainstream success with this film.
It's sold 2.4 million tickets and earned 2.9 billion yen (37 million dollars) in one month.
I'm sure NTV's promotion helped but the movie must have had great word of mouth as well since after an initial decline it's remained consistant in the past few weeks.
So I guess Hosoda and studio Chizu won't have a problem getting their next project off the ground.
