On the list of the biggest box office hits in Japan of all time, irrespective of country origin (a list also topped by Spirited Away), Your Name is currently hovering at number five, but it’s just a stone’s throw away from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, which pulled in 20.3 billion yen in Japan.
As of December 4, Your Name, which debuted on August 26, has brought in 19.957 billion yen (US$176.611 million), and in the process taken over the number-two position on Japan’s all-time domestic box office list for anime, which was previously held by Howl’s Moving Castle and its 19.6-billion yen take.
This also makes Your Name the second-highest grossing Japanese-produced films regardless of medium, with only Spirited Away, another Miyazaki movie, above it.
But while some miraculous events unfold on-screen during Your Name, it’s unlikely to wrest the top spot from Spirited Away.
