how much is that in real money? 10 million or so?
more than youll ever make
20 million
Basically 100 yen equals 1 dollar or less
$20million dollars. But its not inflation adjusted.

This is literally the first time I've heard about this movie. I thought Ghibli was shut down and Miyazaki quit for good. A new traditional 2D animation Ghibli movie sounds great, why would anyone be negative towards that?
You didn't see this cool poster yet? It's supposedly his last film
He's been saying that for years, but then his kid's film was such a disappointment for him that he came back.
I wonder if he can make another one.
>kid's film was such a disappointment for him
Which one
Tales of earthsea or that ugly cg movie
Miyazaki walked out of the theater during Earthsea, i doubt he even bothered watching the other one and just instinctively knew it was trash
That poster tells me absolutely nothing about the movie. Is it a bird inside a bird costume?
Is it a bird inside a bird costume?
idk
>The film is said to be a slice of life with spiritual themes added in for good measure. There are a lot of family themes in this film. Some are implying that this is Miyazaki’s apology letter to his son for being a bad dad. The film is about a young boy, Mahito, during World War II and it opens with his mother's devastating death due to air raids. It's slightly harrowing with a tinge of horror.
>>The film is said to be a slice of life with spiritual themes added
ZzzZzz
thats actually kind of bs to the point that i suspect the guy saying that was lying, not saying its good, but its actually a trippy adventure and theres family themes yes, but theres weird shit like the MC hitting his own head with a rock to bleed so he can skip school and the family stuff, well, lets just say that his father marries her late wifes sister and gets her pregnant, which fricks up the MC.
All this slice of life shit was said by a guy that claimed it was about a bird that wanted to learn more about humans and how they live, theres footage and most people say the bird is actually a fat ugly dude in a bird costume who is part of this abstract story about some sort of plot to make the MC the ruler or something of a fantasy land where birds eat people, all to prevent his world from ending but at the end the MC just lets that world end. alll of this is to make a big thing out of the drama between the existence of the dead mother and the new life growing in the new mother, btw keep in mind most people who post here about this film clearly dont understand japanese since they always say they dont understand any of he subtleties, there was even a guy who thought the new mother was meant to be nice woman but the MC is awkward around her because he is a kid when actually is because, you know, she is his motherfricking aunt who inmediately happily rided his father´s dick right after his mother died
Sounds like pretentious shit.
Now I know why they didn't release any trailers. It's so people actually go see this thinking it might be another old-style Miyazaki hit, but seems like he just made another post-war mopefest.
>12yo boy protag
>ww2
>dad makes military planes (like miyazaki's own dad, like his previous movie, like planes in every miyazaki movie)
>mom dies in tokyo air raid
>dad remarries and moves family to new house in countryside
>boy struggling because mommy grief and angry at dad and new stepmom, fails at school, gets into fights
>keeps seeing mysterious bird around the house
>the bird is actually a man living in a bird body and leads boy to a mysterious tower in the woods and tells him he can save his mom if he enters
>enters alternate magical/timewarp world, meets his mom and younger versions of family members as wizards fighting against evil birds
>idk some coming of age themes, acceptance, blahblah
>goes home
>reunites with dad and happy with family
so its totoro x spirited away again with some ww2 autobiography shit
that sucks
he should have made the gun samurai manga instead
There's rumors that Japanese people aren't liking the message very much because it's very anti-collectivist, but it's probably the same sort of stuff that Miyazaki has always been making.
I hope it's good. The newest Ghiblis or Ghibli adjacent movies I've seen are The Wind Rises, When Marnie Was There, Princess Kaguya, and The Red Turtle and I enjoyed all of them. Not sure if I've missed any since then
>Not sure if I've missed any since then
There's this. It was a TV movie and Ghibli's attempt at CGI. Kind of just came and went without any fanfare. Goro made it and probably why Miyazaki came out of retirement again.
That was so embarassing.
I'm glad it brings out Hayao tho.
Cartoon Saloon taking ova
>marketing expense
>0$
hollywood could never
Their development budget is also a frsction of an American animation. Hand drawn films take time but in the end cost less than the massive CG render farms.
yeah the movie is probably already at 2x it's budget
why don't they translate japanese titles into english when they translate it into english words? why just random gobble like 'how do you live?' or 'my hero academia'?
The Official English title is awful
>The Boy and the Heron
I fricking hate this shit. Especially when an English name exists and weeks insist of saying the Japanese one like it makes them worldly or some shit
Cope.
Are there plans for us distribution. I saw the plane movie in us theatres and although it was legit propaganda it was still good
it's late this year in the USA.
It doesn't need much marketing. the animation is standard Ghibli.
Is it even nicely animated? Or is it some bullshit like The Tale of the Princess Kaguya? Also why is there no trailer?
"How do you live?" is too triggering for the western audience.
I respect the fact that they released a movie without even showing a trailer.
>Wind Rises was 10 years ago
No fricking way
It's pretty funny that you can release a film with zero ad budget and still break records. Makes you wonder what all the marketing golems are even paid for.
Japanese are the ultimate consumers
miyazaki is a hack. die in anguish that japan lost the war you old fool
I wonder what he actually thinks about WW2 and Japan's role in it and whether he considered Germany to actually be bad guys.
I remember he was into WW2 german paraphernalia and so on.
I mean his works are generally against tyranny and fascism, even very overtly so, but then again he seems like he doesn't translate it to WW2 at all.
he's a bitter boomer. he doesn't acknowledge what japan did during the war but readily attacks america for being violent and cruel and whatever else. he's a massive hypocrite
why would i be mad? japan lost and is now essentially a vassal state of the US
>he doesn't acknowledge what japan did during the war
Why do you lie?
>Miyazaki wrote thathe was ashamed and felt "hatred against Japan" for what the country did in China during the war, and said that Japan should apologize and pay compensation for its crimes during the war, including the use of "comfort women"
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2013-07-25/hayao-miyazaki-pens-essay-on-japanese-constitutional-reform
my mistake but he's still an idiot for being a pacifist
So he's like everybody else then
It's too distant from his own experience for him to reflect on at all, Germany is just a source of cool tanks and planes to draw for him and Japan is just the Japan that he knows, nothing more. Compared to someone like Shigeru Mizuki who actually had to fight in the war and barely survived. Even though he lost his arm, his brother and his family's home there's none of that bitterness-fueled soft apologia in his works about the war, he's made some of that most scathing indictments of the Imperial regime out there.
mad
luckly you aren't speaking german or japanese, imagine how bad things would have been
This is the new stage for adverisement - No advertisement.
Why is this board OBSESSED with how much money movies make? It's like all you can talk about these days.
Because we want to support good movies.
Because everything on the internet has to be a W or L or some other binary shite
it's not just this board. it's worse on pw. half the threads are about ratings and viewership and money. wwe fans made that board fully cancerous with their moronation
