The film is obviously doing really well at the moment. I wonder how much it will earn, not only in Japan (once it's finished in Cinemas there), but altogether as a worldwide thing.

its not showing near me so I doubt that number -- still its probably doing quite well.

Good for Shinkai-san. While we were watching the movie at AX he walked right past me, like 2 feet from me and I didn't even recognize him. I thought he was just convention staff enforcing the no photography rule!

Cool dude -- and a true talent.
