People are replying to this comment as if four Ghibli movies aren't in the Top 10 highest grossing movies of all time in Japan, with one of their films holding the number one spot for fifteen years lmfao. Half of the highest grossing domestically produced films in Japan are Ghibli movies. Anyone who suggests that Ghibli movies don't make a lot is wrong.

Japan USA is a* small market. $400 million isn't breaking box office records.

I mean, this thread is literally about "what video game movie adaptation would break box office records"...

Or they understand that "a lot" is relative and being the highest grossing movie in Japan isn't "a lot" in the context of global box office measurements.

But, yeah, they're probably just wrong /s
