With two months at the box office, the film has earned over 12.13 billion yen (approx. US$92 million) and sold over 9.13 million tickets as of yesterday.
Its opening weekend was no less than a miracle, where it grossed over 1.88 billion yen (approx. US$13.49 million) and sold 1.33 million tickets.
The film has done exceptionally well, considering it was up against a One Piece film during opening weekend. Moreover, One Piece Film: Red had been reigning over the box office for weeks, so it was a great achievement for Suzume.
The numbers speak for themselves, and the film was well-received by everyone.
This was yet another fine piece of work from the movie magician Shinkai that will break even more records globally.
