The World War II drama ranked 7th in the weekend box office for February 4-5, now its total gross has increased to over 1.9 billion yen.
56-year-old director Sunao Katabuchi reported on his official Twitter yesterday that his anime film adaptation of Fumiyo Kouno’s award-winning manga Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni/In This Corner of the World has ranked in the weekend box office for 13 consecutive weeks since its release on November 12, 2016, and has attracted 1.447 million moviegoers in Japan.
Since more and more theaters are still being added, the number is expected to keep growing for a while.
