In an alternate universe where animation is respected in the west and Heron enjoyed the same awards season status and accolades as Parasite got, it could probably challenge for 100 DOM with a major awards expansion and BP win 

 

Well, we're not in that universe

It can’t be bought or planned. This “skipping after the film” wasn’t planted by Sony, it just happens, is viral then takes off. 

What's this "skipping after the film" thing? I don't use tiktok and I haven't seen anyone on twitter reference it like Barbenheimer or the Minions suit thing

Did you ever see his 20,000 leagues anime? Aquaman 2 motivated me to finally start reading Verne, so watching Nadia: The Secret of the Blue Water and seeing Miyazaki’s take on Nemo’s been so much fun haha

Lol TIL Miyazaki and Anno collaborated on something

[AniNate]

Also it wasn't just Korea and North America that drove Parasite to success, if you take those two territories out it still made $135 mil everywhere else, which is about as much as Heron has made so far total. Parasite also did much better nominally in its home country than Heron did even though it has less than half the population

Well yeah. Didn't you know that Anno was the lead voice actor for The Wind Rises?

[CoolioD1]

well it's not a competition but in my mind yes Parasite's success was more impressive than Boy Heron's. Prior to Parasite the highest grossing Korean film in the US was $2mil. and it's not like the hits have been rolling in since then either. except on Netflix where people can watch this stuff dubbed.

I'm assuming this is a reference to something that happens in the movie.

I haven’t… I was not even aware of it! I still need to see pre-Ghibli Miyazaki among his films as well (Lupin and Conan)

It’s actually not from the film, there’s no skipping, just that song. 
 

TikTok/Tweens and teens making up their own viral thing to do I guess. But it’s working. I don’t use TikTok either, but Sydney Sweeney keeps sharing the clips on instagram.

Night Swim holds the distinction of being the worst film Ive seen in theatres since Blumhouse's Fantasy Island. 

 

And I go to 50+ movies a year.

On the other side, I really enjoyed Ferrari. Easily Mann's best since Collateral.

Up 100k from estimate. With its GG win, it probably will go closer to 45m. If you truly understand the movie, it is not just about death and grief, it is about our movie industry nowadays. Hope people can find the meaning of the movie in a illogical storytelling style

In the end Migration and ABY didn't managed to hit 10m mark. We were so close to five 10m movies in single weekend. The Sunday decline this week is equally bad as NYE sunday.
