The film has so far earned 13.51 billion yen from it 12-week run, which has surpassed the total box office gross of E.T. (1982) and Armageddon (1989), both made 13.5 billion yen in Japan.
Now it has become the 13th top-grossing film at Japanese box office of all-time, and is expected to top The Last Samurai (2003)’s 13.7 billion yen soon.
While dropping to seventh from last week’s third, Makoto Shinkai’s Tenki no Ko/Weathering With You is still strong at Japanese box office.
