It had a massive domestic advertising campaign though so they have to write that off. It made a lot of money, but they spent a lot to promote it.
Juan Bennett
The film is literally the biggest film of the year to date at the box office in Japan of course it isn't a flop.
Hunter Jackson
It's ¥12.825 billion though. Can't you read?
>massive domestic advertising campaign
So you have sources on how much was spent on the advertising campaign?
Caleb Fisher
>Budget is half-billion >Already made 10 billion
Naisu baito
Matthew Evans
>Kizumonogatari $6m >Koe no katachi $8m >Kimi no na wa $110m
It is stupid to even compare Kimi no na wa to films like Koe no Katachi. Koe no Katachi is just in the realms of doing fairly well for a niche targeted otaku film. Kimi no na wa is near Miyazaki levels of box office takings. Completely different league.
Eli Rivera
Is this a bait?
Aiden Rogers
Wait, are you agreeing with me or arguing against me? Don't say shit that confuses me.
Josiah Wright
You are aware of how cheap anime is in Japan, right?
Jace Phillips
Just pointing out that the guy posting this thread is an idiot.
Andrew Thomas
>Ghostbuster tier flop
Why are you even converting it to dollars when yen is what matters in Japan and it hasn't even gotten an international release?
Isaiah Hernandez

Not knowing phenomes in 2016
Nathaniel Bennett
Ahhhh, I get it. We're thinking the same, then.
Julian Hill
Ghostbusters only made like $10m in Japan anyway, Koe no Katchi has made less than it did.
Gavin Barnes

Elijah Reed

Typical Amerifat.
Austin Perry
>So you have sources on how much was spent on the advertising campaign?
600 gorillion dollars. It won't break even until it surpasses Avatar's gross.
Christopher Brown
Didn't Free! only make like $4m?
Landon Cruz
Why do people get all frustrated when they don't like something and try to prove it did badly? Is this like a autism spectrum thing or a underage thing?
Christopher James
Converting what?
Nigga u fucked up, I ain't even 'bout moneh.
Brody Howard
Sales figures validate your opinion because it indicates more people agree with you than the other person.
Ethan Morgan
High Speed was one of the higher grossing KyoAni movies so I don't know what you're talking about.
Camden Morris
>muh flop ghostbusters flop koe no floptachi >not 'bout moneh
You're confused.
Jace Young
and it didn't make shit.
Nathaniel Parker
Hell yeah Kimi no Na wa just save the reputation of the anime on this decade its fucking great on par Spirited Away. Otaku cancer loser BTFO Normie Win
Jeremiah Fisher
But why do they care? I though SAO was gay as fuck so I just avoid conversations and threads about it. I don't go research it's sales numbers and shit.
Nathaniel Cox
>It had a massive domestic advertising campaign Do you have sources proving that the domestic advertising campaign is more or about 10 billion yen in worth proving your other claim that Kimi no Na wa is a flop?
Nathaniel Green
If it didn't make shit, then why was it the third highest grossing KyoAni work until Koe no Katachi overtook it?
¥1,900,000,000 K-ON! Movie ¥1,018,396,150 Koe no Katachi (as of 9/28/2016) -- ¥850,000,000 Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu -- ¥680,000,000 HighSpeed!: Free! Starting Days -- ¥220,000,000 Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!: Takanashi Rikka Kai -- ¥205,000,000 Tamako Market: Tamako Love Story -- ¥161,817,100 Kyoukai no Kanata -I'll Be Here- Mirai-hen ---- ¥42,971,350 Hibike!

Andrew Roberts
Nigga u really stupid or wot? I'm the nigga talking 'bout the budget, not the soft-ass white boii that mentioned that lame-ass feminazi movie.
Samuel Hill
Koe no Katachi - 893 million after 9 days K-On movie - 691 million after 9 days
Really makes you think.
Angel Price
Even the K-On! taking is small fry compared to actual successful films like Kimi no na wa. All those are pretty much "flops" if put in the context of regular box office. I mean Even Kizumonogatari I beat the majority of those.
John Myers
>Koe No Katachi is set to pass this in sales.
Dream on.
Colton Reyes
>Even the K-On! taking is small fry compared to actual successful films like Kimi no na wa.
So you've moved the goal post to Kimi no na wa when we're just talking about the fact that Koe no Katachi is already the second most profitable KyoAni movie ever made.
>I mean Even Kizumonogatari I beat the majority of those.
Kizumonogatari made less than Koe no Katachi though.
Aiden Jones
>So you've moved the goal post to Kimi no na wa when we're just talking about the fact that Koe no Katachi I never setup any goalposts. I just said Free only made like $4m which isn't shit all and it isn't. Successful films can often make over $100m in Japan.
>profitable Please learn what that means. Profit is not revenue.
Eli Carter
I see it's another let's talk about how successful or unsuccessful KyoAni is thread. Don't you ever get tired? Some kind of personal vendetta I assume.
Colton Lopez
>Kizumonogatari made less than Koe no Katachi though. That depends on your criteria, if you mean simple sales then probably yes, but Kizu will be more known 10 years after, Why? Because it has the better plot and it really makes you think.
Carter Lee
>I just said Free only made like $4m
In Japan. And it's the fourth highest grossing KyoAni work, a studio known for its 90% success percentage.
You're literally comparing a worldwide release movie with a huge marketing budget over a locally released movie in terms of what they made. You're a retard.
Benjamin Lewis
>Girls und Panzer movie literally beat every one of these.
Really makes you think.
Brody Brown
>That depends on your criteria, if you mean simple sales then probably yes
I accept your concession.
Wyatt Sullivan
>actually using an ann link about disc sales I think it might be you moving the goal posts here. I'm saying that as much as you might want to say how successful KyoAni are, their films aren't shit compared to mainstream success. It is tiny and niche.
Connor Torres
>And Your Name literally ravege the ass of both LL and Girls und Panzer
Really makes you think.
Jace Garcia
The ANN links shows KyoAni's success rate, which is relevant to this debate.
>their films aren't shit compared to mainstream success
Which doesn't matter since they don't do international releases.
Aaron Roberts
...
Cooper Smith
>¥1,018,396,150 Koe no Katachi
A very profitable mistake.
Levi Nelson
>The ANN links shows KyoAni's success rate Disc sales have nothing to do with talking about how Free! did at the box office.
>The ANN links shows KyoAni's success rate I am talking about mainstream success in Japan. Free wasn't even in the top 50 for films in the year it came out.
Zachary Nelson
It ahould be up to 1.3Bil this weekend. If it stays at the top 4 vome next week topping Keion won't be far fetched and even Madoka would be reachable according to Casper.
