in north america.
you think anime could be big in north america if it was widely available in theaters. i talking about japanesse anime.
like the other day i saw that profits for the movie "spirited away"
it cost 19 m$ to make. and it grossed 234m$ in japan alone.
but in the usa it only made 10m$ cause it was released only in the big cities. like new york, and l.a. chicago.
released to less than 20 cities.
so my question was , do you think anime could be huge in the usa if it was widely released and advertised correctly. through comercials and such.
specificaly anime movies in theaters.
like a lot of kids/parents go see the pixar movies all the time. wouldn't they go see anime as well if only they understood it better.
