In the note
Of course, this didn’t happen because GKIDS found a magic lamp, this film is directed by one of the true Masters of this genre, Hayao Miyazaki, who not only co-founded Studio Ghibli, but also directed such Anime classics as Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo and The Wind Rises. The average World Wide Gross on those 3 titles is $193 million.
