Since its Japanese release, Suzume no Tojimari has far outshined its forerunners, Your Name and Weathering With You. As of the 5th of December, it has earned over US$55.69 million in sales, making it the 87th highest-grossing film of all time in Japan.
Shinkai’s name attached to the film means that Suzume no Tojimari will do exceptionally well. Now that the director’s name is out there thanks to the success of Your Name, audiences will undoubtedly be eagerly anticipating this new offering.
Are you of the opinion, however, that Suzume will be even better than Your Name? Add your two cents to the discussion below.
