On Christmas Day, Miyazaki’s ‘The Boy and the Heron’ became the sixth highest-grossing anime title in U.S. box office history.
Miyazaki’s latest has set another major record in the U.S. animation marketplace.
Three of the weekend’s top five films were animated, with ‘Trolls Band Together’ and ‘Wish’ finishing in fourth and fifth, respectively.

Miyazaki’s latest will open in 2,200 theaters, far and away the widest U.S. release for any of this films.
The post-Thanksgiving moviegoing weekend is a slow one, but for Disney’s latest, it was even slower than usual.
Facing stiff competition from ‘Trolls Band Together,’ ‘Wish’ came up short on box office projections.

Five U.S. studio films and five films from Asia fill out this year’s list. Will the arrival of ‘Wish,’ ‘Migration,’ and ‘Trolls’ shake things up?

Paramount, Nickelodeon, and Spin Masters’ canine sequel also finished the weekend second at the global box office.
The latest Turtles flick is nearing $100M grossed globally with a number of major market debuts still to come.
Meanwhile, ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’ flopped with its Middle Kingdom debut, making less than $1M over the weekend.
After four weeks, ‘The Boy and the Heron’ is tracking slightly behind Miyazaki’s last film, ‘The Wind Rises.’
Pixar’s latest film continues to find admirers around the globe.
Paramount’s distribution chief says he’s “over the moon” with the movie’s fourth-place launch.
