CATDOLL: "Your Name" has set a record for the highest box office of Japanese films in China in 16 days

"Your Name", a Japanese animated film directed by Makoto Shinkai, was released in China for 16 days, with a cumulative box office of 530.6 million yuan, surpassing the 530.2 million box office of "Stand by Me Doraemon" released in China in 2015, and ranked first in the domestic box office of Japanese films.

Compared with the 565 million box office of the domestic animated film "Big Fish and Begonia" released in the middle of this year, it is not much different. I wonder if it can catch up later.

The story takes place in the rural town of Itomori-cho in Hida City, Japan, one month before the comet that returns every thousand years. Here, Mitsuha, a high school girl, lives a melancholy life every day. She is troubled not only by the election campaign held by her father, the mayor, but also by the ancient customs of the family shrine. In this small town, there are only some old people who love to worry about nothing. For this reason, Mitsuha is full of longing for the big city.

However, one day, she had a dream of becoming a boy. There were strange rooms and strange friends here. And what appeared before her was the streets of Tokyo. Although Mitsuha was confused, she felt refreshed to be able to live in the city she had always dreamed of. On the other hand, Tachibana Taki, a male high school student living in Tokyo, also had a strange dream. He became a female high school student in a small town deep in the mountains that he had never been to. The two met each other in their dreams.
