However, Chinese exhibitors’ decision to provide Spirited Away with almost 30% of screening space nationwide in comparison to Toy Story 4’s 18% offers some insight into the disparity in first-weekend grossing figures. Toy Story 4 opened to USD118 million in North America, one of the biggest openings ever for an animated movie.īoth films performed well on China’s online review sites, with Toy Story 4 scoring a 9.2 rating on Maoyan and 8.9 on Douban, while Spirited Away has a rating of 9.4 on Maoyan and 9.3 on Douban. The Japanese animation, which first aired internationally in 2001, topped the Chinese Box Office over its first three days (June 21-23) grossing USD27.9 million according to EntGroup figures, more than doubling the opening weekend gross of Toy Story 4, which took in USD13.4 million during that same period.
Despite earning opening weekend records around the world, Toy Story 4 was soundly beaten at the Chinese Box Office by the 18-year-old anime classic Spirited Away.
