Director Makoto Shinkai’s new film “Your Name” has been sweeping Japan, with the movie hitting number one at the box office for nine consecutive weeks and earning more than 17.6 billion yen (NT$5.4 billion). It has become the fourth best-selling movie in Japan’s box office history.
The movie tells the story of two high school teenagers, a Tokyo boy and a country girl. The two strangers wake up one day in the other’s body, and embark on a journey to find each other in the real world.
“Your Name” has also become a blockbuster since its release in Taiwan last month. The film took in more than NT$100 million in just 10 days after opening, replacing director Hayao Miyazaki’s “Howl’s Moving Castle” as the best-selling animated film in Taiwan.
