Even though Makoto Shinkai’s Weathering with You hasn’t been released in North America – screenings start on January 15, with a wide release on January 17 – that hasn’t stopped the film from being the 6th most discussed film on Twitter in 2019, likely propped up by the platform’s extensive use in Japan and the subcultures that Twitter attracts.
For the film category, Weathering with You came in 6th, inching behind The Lion King, but beating out Captain Marvel, IT: Chapter 2, Frozen II, and the soon to be released Star Wars film, The Rise of Skywalker.
The film released in Japan on July 19 (read our thoughts from it here, and here), in Australia on August 22, and China on November 1.
