Will Suzume pass Weathering with You in yen? How far do you think it'll go?

I seriously doubt it - that's more of a government thing peddled by the ultranationalists that only survives thanks to subsidies these days, nobody really gives a shit (and certainly not enough to cause this performance). And even if it did, it should've had a solid opening at the very least, which it did not get. There's probably a million little reasons why - strong local competition in the form of Slam Dunk and Shinkai's (who at this point is about as theatrically as strong a pull as the miyazaki name) newest film, the general decline of Hollywood there bar some exceptions like Top Gun, 3D isnt the draw it used to be, etc. With that being said, I still wouldn't have expected it to be doing this abysmally.
