Japan Box Office: Makoto Shinkai’s Suzume Repeats at No.1 with 1.147 Billion Yen
Makoto Shinkai’s Suzume earned 1.147 billion yen (8.08 million USD) on 829,000 admissions in its second weekend, which was 17 percent down from its opening weekend but was enough to take the top spot for two consecutive weeks.
The 121-minute film’s cumulative total domestic gross has reached 4.154 billion yen (29.29 million USD) on 2.99 million admissions, which is 107 percent of the first two-week gross of Shinkai’s 2016 film Your Name., and 104 percent of that of his 2019 film Weathering With You. If the momentum continues, there may be a possibility that Suzume becomes the most commercially successful film of his career.
Crunchyroll is teaming up with Sony Pictures and Wild Bunch International to bring Suzume to global audiences outside of Asia in early 2023.

One Piece Film Red ranked fourth in its 16th weekend. From its domestic run, the 15th One Piece anime feature film has made 18.39 billion yen (129.5 million USD) on 13.27 million admissions.
In its fifth weekend,
Sword Art Online -Progressive- Scherzo of Deep Night ranked sixth, the same as last weekend, bringing its total to 920 million yen (6.48 million USD).
After surprisingly ranking fourth last weekend, Uta no Prince-sama The Movie: Maji LOVE ST☆RISH TOURS, the second concert film from the Uta no Prince-sama anime franchise, finally dropped out of the top 10 in its 12th weekend. Its total domestic gross has reached 1.7 billion yen (11.97 million USD), becoming close to the 2019 first concert film Uta no Prince-sama: Maji Love Kingdom‘s total box office gross of 1.82 billion yen (13 million USD).
