It still needs 140 million yen more to become the top-grossing film in the Conan anime franchise by surpassing the current record of 9.18 billion yen marked by the 22nd film Zero the Enforcer in 2018.
Internationally acclaimed director Masaaki Yuasa (Lu over the Wall, Devilman Crybaby)’s highly-anticipated new feature film Kimi to, Nami ni Noretara/Ride Your Wave was released in 299 theaters across Japan on June 21.
Despite massive publicity efforts, it debuted at the ninth place with a poor 80 million yen.
