'The Secret World of Arrietty' Wows Japan With $8.1 Million U.S. Opening

Quote:

TOKYO – The $8.1 million opening weekend in the US for The Secret World of Arrietty is by far the biggest stateside bow for a Studio Ghibli animation, and is making headlines in Japan.

Karigurashi no Arrietty, as it’s known in Japan, opened on 1,522 screens and finished the President’s Day weekend in eighth spot.

Studio Ghibli’s website in Japan posted a message celebrating the opening and thanking Disney, which released the dubbed version in the U.S. and has been cooperating with Hayao Miyazaki’s animation house for years, for its support.

By way of comparison, Ghibli’s Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi), which went on to win the Academy Award for best animated feature, opened on only a couple dozen screens in 2002, pulling in less than $500,000 on its opening three-day bow in the America. It finished with more than $10 million after its Oscar win, though this was dwarfed by its record-breaking $230 million takings in Japan.

The Secret World of Arrietty was released in July 2010 in Japan and took 9.2 billion yen ($115 million), the highest grossing domestic film of the year.

Looking forward to it and hope the music is as good as the 1st 1 like Arrietty's Song by Cecile Corbel.

The Secret World of Arrietty is Arietty. It's only just been released in the US.

Would love to watch this. Kids of today would have a chance to peek at their parents generation.

It is based on a true story in the 2004 Chūetsu earthquake.

Maybe instead of posting full movies someone could recommend a good one?

what kind of movie do you like?

Jakub · March 5th, 2012, 08:03 PM

I cannot say :) I think there is no type I prefer the most. You know, for example I don't usually watch horrors, but two months ago I saw a korean one and loved it (though I wouldn't call it a horror). I just like to feel the ambience, the moment. Very often I also expect to have that urban feeling. My favorite movie is Lost in Translation, but at that moment I actually only watch asian movies (mostly korean but not serial/drama). Here is a few japanese I like, specially the first four:

About Love/Lian Ai Di Tu

My Rainy Days/Tenshi no Koi

Kimi Ni Todoke

Kimi no Yubisaki Way too short to think about it for the next few days, but except for this, it was marvellous.

April Story/Shigatsu monogatari I liked the ambience of the first half.

Kokuhaku It was quite dynamic, good topic, pictures, acting, a very good movie, but not in my favorites.

Blue Spring/Aoi Haru Different, not so sweet and a bit depressing, but a good one.

***ukiyo*** · March 6th, 2012, 12:05 AM

For horror movies, Japan has so many. You can actually find a big list on wikipedia. Alot of them are remade by hollywood.

Maybe you will like 20th century boys or something, I have no idea what kind of movies you would like. I like the Trick specials but I guess they're not really "movies".

Jakub · March 6th, 2012, 01:06 AM

Yeah I know, but as I said, normally I'm not a huge fan of it. The point is that you can't know if the movie will turn out to be good or not. This is why I suggest to use this thread also to recommend or mention some movies, that we have seen and liked.

castermaild55 · March 6th, 2012, 01:11 AM

though many people might have already watched these...

Jakub · March 7th, 2012, 10:36 PM

I've seen Taiyo no uta, it was nice, I know that kaspric likes this movie. I've watched the trailer of Kamikaze Girls and it's probably not my taste, but maybe I will view this movie one day. When it comes to the Swing Girls I see the title for the first time, I think it can be fun ;)

kaspric · March 7th, 2012, 11:43 PM

Taiyou no uta is one of my favs indeed. These scenes when Kaoru looks on the town from her window, the music in background, I love its slowness and silence.
Kamikaze girls was cool, specific, but I coudn't judge or compare it to other movies ;-). Watch Otonari as I said before, I love this movie.

Btw, do you know any comedy in style like Shonen Merickensack?
