Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, First Released 18 Years Ago, Made Twice the Box Office of Toy Story 4 in China This Weekend

Despite having first been released 18 years ago, Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away kicked down the doors of the Chinese box office this weekend as if it were buzzy and brand new. The 2001 anime from prolific creator Hayao Miyazaki was released for the first time on the Chinese mainland, grossing $28 million in the process. Those may not seem like huge numbers in terms of American box office, but the film soundly trounced Pixar’s Toy Story 4 opening in the process—that film made only $13.2 million in comparison.
