One Piece Surpasses Ponyo At Box Office

[Will-O'-The-Wisp]

According to Eiga.com, the box office of the first two days of One Piece: Strong World was 1 billion and 38 million yen ($11.8 million), which exceeded that of Gake no Ue no Ponyo ($11.6 million). The One Piece movie was premiered on 188 screens and Ponyo was shown on 481 screens. The average income per screen established the Japanese record.

My gawd, look at the Que O_O

I'm personally looking forward to both the One Piece film and the Ponyo film, but I'm surprised at the above. I assumed everything Miyazaki related in Japan was King, but then One Piece is the current best selling manga in Japan right now.

I've seen Ponyo and while it was a good movie, it was not better than Summer wars.

The little filler on the TV series, didn't make me want to watch strong world, but I reckon I'll do it anyway.

Well, that's certainly a challenge. Since we are historic masters of the sport of queueing, I should hope that a queue of such a size could be maintained in an orderly fashion over here.

Didn't you know? thats part of the whole queing sport...you que, you moan about the line and the waiting...you que some more....you find small ways to amuse yourself and then you moan some more.

All theme parks are like that and all social events like the expo too.....just another time and place us brits get to prove that were good at being robots

Personally i'm looking forward to both, i'm happy that the local cinema is playing Ponyo. makes a change
