Due to Your Name’s continued success the gap between the two is getting smaller and smaller, and as of the latest reports, Your Name has earned 23.23 billion yen (US$200.26 million) to Frozen’s 25.48 billion yen.
If it does, Your Name will have outperformed any Disney film ever released in Japan, adding yet another achievement to its legacy and further boosting the anticipation for Shinaki’ next project.
It’s currently the fourth-highest earning film ever in Japanese theaters, and directly above it, at number three, is Frozen.
Unless, that is, the movie is Makoto Shinkai’s anime phenomenon Your Name.
