They are just trying to get an Oscar nomination, thats why they are opening in LA in December
>Will also screen in the UK and Ireland on November 24
Um, user? Just because Brexit happened doesn't mean the UK isn't in Europe.
If they would only screen this in the rest of Europe too. But sadly after how bad most non disney/pixar animation movies do in the box office i don't see that ever happening.
I want to see this movie in the cinema so badly.
It's going to come out in France and other countries too, just look it up.
Isn't it just big countries? couldn't' see any Scandinavian countries.

It's already been decided. Why are they even trying?
Its a shitty romance movie for women.
Yes.
Come to CANADA
Disney wins regardless of how well they do, it was abysmal that in 2015 Big Hero 6 won over other better titles it was competing against, like Song of the sea, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya and even How to Train Your Dragon 2.
No, not watching this trash
God damn it I always associate that stupid poster with Keit-Ai.
And everyone will forget about Zootopia when Moana comes out. Yiff in hell furfag.
Funi is screening it early so it's in time for Oscar season. It'll come to the rest of Europe soon. Fly to London for a weekend if you wanna see it so badly.
You're gonna have to wait till early 2017 if you're in Canada.
Quads confirm.
Even the fucking Lego Movie was better than that glorified capeshit.
It's your money user. Nobody's forcing you to. Doesn't change the fact that you have shit taste in anime.
>watching an anime about transgender
Confirmed for having not even seen the movie.
Keit-ai is already a movie. Your post has been DMCA'd by Makoto Shinkai, Toho, and Funimation.
Agreed 100%.

Flop? It's gonna be a limited screening in one theater for one week with multiple small screenings next year. It's not gonna be in every theater nationwide.
>Dubs G-Ai
Patrick Bateman falls in love with his dubs.
Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with dub-finding bot. Never minding the strange repeating digits, he immediately uses it, and is overjoyed to find out that the dubs have a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he engages in more dubs getting ways, he instead acquires singles. Confused by these turn of events, the Wall Street businessman investigates and finds out that the dubs he made is not the same dubs he fell in love with. In fact, the dubs don't exist in this universe at all. They are dubs from an alternate universe, who has fallen in love with the MC's own psycho self, who too is blissfully unaware of their crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While they shitpost all over Sup Forums, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of DUBS.
They are airing it in Spain and I think that's europe
I don't blame you. The reason Disney wins every year is because while the people in charge of nominating each of the movies do have a grasp of good filmmaking and do watch every single one of the movies they nominate, the people who vote for each of the nominations are completely fucking clueless and don't even bother watching any of the movies.
Instead they just arbitrarily pick what's popular. For animated movies in particular, they don't give a fuck and either say "Fuck it. Give it to Disney again.", or just leave their vote blank.
Unfortunately, because it's not Disney handling the release it'll never come to my city's theaters.
Where do you live?

FTFY
It'll probably play in Dallas when the time comes so why not just drive their and spend a weekend up their traveling?
I really wish Funimation would stop buying up all these otherwise respectable film licenses. it really fucking hurts their marketability when a halfassed distributor just sits on the rights and doesn't or just can't put due effort into actually selling it to a general audience.
>How to Train Your Dragon 2
That was fucking shit
Yep just how everyone forgot about Inside Out after The Good Dinosaur was released right?
Good thing every animated feature released in the US this year was better than Your Name or else I would be really upset (Storks, Sausage Party and Norm of the North won't be nominated so don't even bother)
Cannot wait to watch this masterpiece.
The problem is that nobody expected Kimi no Na wa. to be THIS good or do THIS well. Even with Shinkai's previous notoriety, it's Japan's biggest smash hit in history.
Realistically Funimation is the best choice to license and distribute this film. They knew at the very least that Shinkai is a respected filmmaker so they jumped on the opportunity early and are now ecstatic that they have a potential Oscar nominee in their arsenal.
When Disney got Spirited Away, they were actually squandering it in the beginning. They were a whole year late in bringing it to Western theaters, they marketed it less than their B-films, and they only screened it in 151 theaters.
It was a miracle that Spirited Away won an Oscar that year since Disney was focused on promoting Lilo and Stitch and weren't even trying to promote Spirited Away at first.
If Disney got Kimi no Na wa., they would squander it too. Funimation on the other hand is actually TRYING to get people to see this.
>it's Japan's biggest smash hit in history
It's #4 so that means Miyazaki still has one over him.
Why would you even make that comparison? The Good Dinosaur was fucking garbage and Inside Out was actually good. Zoophilia is overrated SJW pandering furryshit while Moana looks like it'll actually be worth the hype.
>going to the movies, ever
It's #4 and counting with no signs of slowing down. It made 10 Billion Yen 9 days faster than Frozen, which is #3 in Japan's all time box office, and only slightly behind Titanic.
At the rate it's going, Your Name will surpass Frozen and Titanic, and will come VERY CLOSE to Spirited Away.
Why don't you like going to the movies user?
I hate people.
>The problem is that nobody expected Kimi no Na wa. to be THIS good
>Kimi no Na wa
>good
Also Funi gets Hosada films, they don't give two shits about quality just notoriety and they'll never win because they just don't have the resources like Disney to push something like Your Name which appeal is mostly limited to Japan much like all of Shinkai's films.
>It was a miracle that Spirited Away won an Oscar that year since Disney was focused on promoting Lilo and Stitch and weren't even trying to promote Spirited Away at first.
Nope. They pushed Spirited Away over Lilo and Stitch because of Lasseter and it was his insistence over it and the success of the film why they went to license the rest of the Ghibli catalog or at least the Miyazaki films. They had no faith in Lilo and Stitch to begin with.
What's popular in Japan isn't necessarily popular in other countries. That's why the USA doesn't have wide releases of Doraemon movies.
Could you say for certain that Kimi no Na wa would be able to bring in profit from a significant among of film geeks and normalfags that is needed to be a smash hit in the USA for instance?

>Your Name will surpass Frozen and Titanic, and will come VERY CLOSE to Spirited Away.
Has meme magic gone too far?
>while Moana looks like it'll actually be worth the hype.
You're basing this off nothing. It'll more likely be as mediocre and forgettable as Frozen and Big Hero 6. In fact Your Name is pretty much another Frozen, a mediorce film that only gets praised due to how much money it made.
>What's popular in Japan isn't necessarily popular in other countries.
THANK YOU! Despite how much Funi tried to push Hosoda as the next Miyazaki none of his films have garnered the same about or praise or even a fraction as popular as Miyazaki worldwide because his films lack that appeal to anyone unless you're Japanese. Remember when Shinkai tried to do a Miyazaki film and it fell flat on his face? Of course you don't because I guarantee most people who praise Your Name have never actually seen his previous works.
Take an Uber.
>Remember when Shinkai tried to do a Miyazaki film and it fell flat on his face?
I do because Kanemoto Hisako's voice was cute as fuck in that film.
Get in.

Sup Forums is going to shit on this film so hard when it gets released on BD
Yes I know that. That's why Spirited Away didn't receive that much marketing since Disney didn't have much faith in it. It was a complete miraculous anomaly that Spirited Away won an Oscar. Even if Disney backed Kimi no Na wa. it still wouldn't be enough for it to win an Oscar. The odds of another miracle happening are slim. But Funimation is at least giving their best effort to promote it while Disney probably wouldn't even care. Get it now?
>the highest grossing meme of all time
>I-I-IT CAN'T ACTUALLY BE DOING SO WELL BECAUSE IT'S GOOD!
I saw the movie at Anime Expo and it is good faggot. Why don't you actually watch the movie and make up your own mind instead of reading a synopsis from Wikipedia?
God bless Pixiv for all the adorable fucking fanart they're making of this movie.
I thought she cut her hair.
Fanart.
Being Murrica is suffering. Fuck it. Guess I'll just wait for the BD rips.
>That's why Spirited Away didn't receive that much marketing
> 151 theaters showing the film in 2002
That's more than most anime film releases or any Funimation release including their top selling title Dragonball Ressurection of F recieved
>It was a complete miraculous anomaly that Spirited Away won an Oscar
Stop spouting this horseshit. Spirited Away received very little marketing...compared to other Disney releases but it was still being backed by them and Lasseter.
> Even if Disney backed Kimi no Na wa. it still wouldn't be enough for it to win an Oscar.
It would actually get nominated. Your Name's chances is slim largely due to the lack of word of the mouth for it. Do you really think The Wind Rises would have even gotten a nomination if not for Disney backing it? Winning is impossible because if Brave, Frozen and Big Hero 6 showed us is that Hollywood goes for the most popular.
>But Funimation is at least giving their best effort to promote it
And guess what? Evangelion 2.0, Summer Wars, Wolf Children and Beast and Boy were not nominated
>I saw the movie at Anime Expo and it is good faggot.
You were one of these faggots?
>And guess what? Evangelion 2.0, Summer Wars, Wolf Children and Beast and Boy were not nominated
Tbf the first two are fucking dogshit
Yes. Got a problem with that faggot?
How about they screen Koe no Katachi in the US instead
>used goods
They just showed it in Edinburgh. And it's coming all over UK. I think they showed it in France too.
It'll get here eventually. Be patient user.
>You will never drink your waifu's fermented spit sake.
Just kill me now...
>That's why the USA doesn't have wide releases of Doraemon movies.
Please use your brain before you post.
It's a pretty good (not the great j/o fest it's been sold as, but good) film with conventional themes and ideas that should work internationally. It's just foreign enough in some places to work but not so foreign as to lose all meaning
The Japanese geography might be a bit out there for US audiences but "big city vs small mountain town" isnt that hard, either
Why are so many people on Sup Forums so butthurt about this movie's success?
>Why is /a butthurt about a mediocre piece of work being successful in Japan
Gee I dunno? Would you still say its good after it made so many headlines? Or will it be forgotten like most of Shinkai's works if Toho didn't market the shit out of it.
its good and popular. perferct mixture for Sup Forums butthurt
>Would you still say its good after it made so many headlines?
Yes I would, because I'm not a contrarian faggot like you.
Anime is haram Ahmed
>Yes I would,
You bandwagoners are so cute
You contrarians are even cuter.
Anyone going to see KnK at Leeds next week?
I would if I lived in the UK.
so where do you find out the locations?
Right in the OP's post you git.
im only seeing for australia and i dont live there nor would ever want to.
Going on the 24th in Dublin, first time watching an anime movie in cinemas, hope I can keep up with the subtitles
