BOX OFFICE: Anime Sensation ‘Your Name’ Delivers $1.6M in U.S. Debut, ‘Smurfs’ Open Weak
By Amid Amidi | 04/09/2017 5:16 pm
After a notable Friday gross of over $600,000, Makoto Shinkai’s smash-hit Your Name ended its first U.S. weekend with an estimated $1.6 million from 303 theaters, good for 13th place.
The Funimation-distributed film wasn’t able to maintain the momentum from its Friday box office, declining on both Saturday and Sunday, however it still managed a $5,281 per-theater-average for the Fri-Sun period, impressive for an animated feature that isn’t distributed by one of the majors.
How impressive is it exactly? The last time an independent animated film opened in 100-plus theaters and managed over $5K per-theater was back in September 2015, when the Mexican animated feature Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos had an $8,670 per-theater average from 395 theaters. Distributed by Pantelion Films, a joint-venture between Lionsgate and Grupo Televisa, Gallo was near-invisible in the English-speaking market, but ended up with $9.1M from the oft-ignored Hispanic moviegoing audience in the States.
PARTNER MESSAGE
Animation was all over the U.S. box office this weekend. Dreamworks Animation’s The Boss Baby retained its No. 1 ranking, adding an estimated $26.3M to its total that now stands at $89.4M. The film has grossed nearly $200M globally.
Sony Pictures Animation’s Smurfs: The Lost Village, directed by Kelly Asbury, opened weak in third place with an estimated $14M. That’s exceptionally low for a franchise with such built-in name recognition. But reviews for the $60 million film have been poor and the film hasn’t done well overseas either, generating just $56M so far from over 55 territories. The all-animation approach clearly wasn’t enough to save the theatrical franchise, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see The Smurfs continue in a direct-to-video or tv series format.
Speaking of troubled franchises, The Lego Batman Movie squeezed past $300M in global gross this weekend. In another context, that would be commendable, but for an $80 million production that had two major brands attached to it — Lego and Batman — that’s deeply concerning. The original Lego Movie earned $469M globally in 2014, and Lego Batman was just the second film in the franchise. Warner Bros. has one more Lego film scheduled for 2017 — The Lego Ninjago Movie — but with the gimmick of cg-animation-that-looks-like-bricks already wearing thin, expect Ninjago to attract an even more niche audience than the current Batman effort.
The money-losing Paramount remake of Ghost in the Shell dropped from third to fifth place in its second weekend. The film suffered a 60% decline, picking up just $7.4M, for a domestic total of $31.6M. Internationally, the film has generated $92.8M, lifting its overall to $124.4M.
Meanwhile, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast hybrid remake is headed for $1 billion at the box office. The film retained the No. 2 spot in the U.S. with an estimated $25M. Both domestic ($432.3M) and foreign ($545.1M) totals are exceptionally strong. BatB has already moved ahead of the company’s 2016 remake of The Jungle Book which grossed $966.6M.
Box Office: ‘Your Name’ Tops $600K In Its First Day Of U.S. Release

Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name is off to a strong start in the United States, where it opened yesterday.
On Friday, its first day of U.S. release, the film grossed $627,208 from 292 theaters for an impressive $2,148 per-theater average. That’s higher than the per-theater for any film in the top 10, and is the third-highest for any film that reported its box office yesterday, trailing only Gifted and Their Finest, both of which played in far fewer theaters.
Your Name is being distributed in the States by Funimation, a company with a long history of distributing anime on home video that has more recently begun expanding into theatrical. The company scored a major hit in 2015 when it launched Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F with $4 million in its first three days, finishing with a gross of $8 million.
PARTNER MESSAGE
Shinkai’s Your Name entered U.S. theaters ready to capitalize on built-up excitement after its huge run in Japan last year, where it was No. 1 for 12 weeks, not to mention nearly-perfect reviews from American film critics. After a powerful run in China, the film unseated Spirited Away as the highest-grossing anime film of all-time with over $328 million worldwide gross.
Funimation has released the film stateside both in its original Japanese language with subtitles and in an English dub (trailer below). For a theater locator, visit the Funimation web site.
新海誠監督(43)の大ヒットアニメ映画「君の名は。」の北米公開が決まったことが17日、分かった。配給の東宝が発表した。4月7日から全米とカナダで合わせて200館以上で上映される。これまでに125の国と地域で配給が決まっており、公開された中国、タイ、台湾では、日本映画の歴代興収新記録を樹立した。北米での記録も注目される。担当者は「将来にわたり長く語り継がれる作品となるでしょう」と期待を寄せている。
北米公開に合わせ、ロックバンドRADWIMPS(ラッドウィンプス)が歌う主題歌4曲「前前前世」「スパークル」「夢灯籠」「なんでもないや」も英語詞で上映される。劇場によって英語吹き替え版と、英語字幕版が公開されるが、英語吹き替え版では英語詞が流れ、英語字幕版では、歌詞の英語字幕が表示される。
英語詞はボーカル野田洋次郎(31)が書き下ろした。同映画はストーリーと音楽が深く結び付いているため、世界観を最大限に楽しんでもらうためという。サビが印象的な「前前前世」は、英語詞版「zenzenzense(English ver.)」ではサビだけ日本語を生かし、他の部分が英語になっている。
北米公開を記念して、英語主題歌版が日本でも今月28日から2週間限定で上映されることも決まった。同映画は、歓声を上げたり、一緒に歌ったりするなど声を出して楽しめる上映会なども実施してきたが、新たな形で楽しめることになった。リピーターの多い作品だけに、観客動員増につながりそうだ。
英語詞の主題歌4曲は、27日からデジタル配信されるほか、2月22日にCD発売されることも決まった。
4月7日开始美国和加拿大上映
配音版的4条歌都会换为英语歌词版,作词为野田洋次郎
