Hayao Miyazaki's new film continues to take global cinemas by storm, and in the United States it is already a historic success
As the race for the Oscars continues, Hayao Miyazaki's “The Boy and the Heron” continues to hit theaters and actually continues to take the US by storm. The Boy and the Heron is a landmark success for Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. Acclaimed by audiences and critics, it sweeps festivals, and above all has an impressive collection both in Japan and abroad.

To date, this was the best opening for a Miyazaki film in the United States, and on its opening weekend, it managed to reach number one at the box office, marking a milestone for a foreign animated film.
Ghibli films continued to be successful and make money It has already collected more than $44.24 million in the United States alone. With this number, it entered the top 3 highest-grossing anime films in the American country.
Thus, it moved ahead of “Pokémon 2: The Power of One,” which has so far occupied third place with a total of $43.8 million. The rest of the podium was completed by “Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinite Train” with $49.7 million and Pokemon Movie: Mewtwo vs. Mio At the top with $85.7 million.
Maybe taking down Ash Ketchum and Pikachu again is complicated because the first “Pokémon” movie is an institution, but “The Boy and the Heron comes close to “Kimetsu no Yaiba.” And we shouldn't be surprised if it surpasses it soon… especially if it finally wins the Oscar for Best Animated Feature this year.
