ANN: "The Box Office Mojo website reports that Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Studio Ghibli's anime film The Secret World of Arrietty (Karigurashi no Arrietty) has earned an estimated US$233,000 during the March 16-18 weekend, its fifth weekend in American theaters. Arrietty's theater count dropped by 197 as 304 theaters continued to screen the film, and the film had a per-screen average of US$766. Ticket sales fell 44.2% from the fourth weekend.
With a current total of US$18,011,000, Arrietty remains the fourth highest grossing theatrical anime release in the United States (although not when adjusted for inflation). It is about US$1.8 million below #3's Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie (US$19,765,868)."
By far one of the weaker Ghibli movies. The pacing was off and the ending was definitely rushed :( Still a VERY cute movie :)
C'mon, Arrietty. Here's hoping it at least breaks 20 Million before the end of it's theater run. Really want to see it pass Yu-Gi-Oh.
I hope they bring that Chinese family friendly animation film over. It was better than i expected. It's called The Tibetan Dog.
