There are 22 Japanese films that have surpassed 10 billion yen at the box office. Among them, 18 are anime films, including 5 from Studio Ghibli. It is quite rare for a live-action film to achieve such success.
This figure has been reached just over two months since its release on June 6, and it is expected to continue growing. The film is directed by Lee Sang-il, a third-generation Korean resident in Japan, who has helmed many past hits, but this is his biggest success to date. It stars popular young actors Ryo Yoshizawa and Ryusei Yokohama, with Ken Watanabe playing a key role.
