Studio Ghibli's The Boy and the Heron Makes Waves With Chinese Premiere

Studio Ghibli 's latest anime movie took home the Oscar for"Best Animated Picture" at the Academy Awards this year, and saw serious receipts at the box office in North America, Japan, and various other countries. Recently, The Boy And The Heron was able to make landfall in China , and to no one's surprise in the anime world, it was a smash hit.

In North America, The Boy And The Heron, titled How Do You Live in its Japanese release, was able to become the first Ghibli film to be the number one movie at the box office for its opening weekend. At present, the movie is standing at a little over $173 million USD, showing how both Ghibli and its anime roster continue to be a success in theaters.

The Boy And The Heron And ChinaFor its opening day in China, The Boy And The Heron brought in a staggering $14 million USD. Not only does this tally give the Ghibli film the biggest opening day of any movie in China for 2024, but it also was able to dethrone Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. This box office return also gives How Do You Live the number two biggest day for an anime film in China, following the first day of The First Slam Dunk.

The Boy And The Heron will come to MAX and Netflix later this year, so worry not for those who didn't catch the Ghibli movie in theaters. If you haven't had the opportunity to check out The Boy And The Heron, Ghibli has an official description of the anime film originally billed as Miyazaki's last,"Mahito, a young 12-year-old boy, struggles to settle in a new town after his mother's death.
