2023-12-10
Surpassing expectations! Hayao Miyazaki's "What Kind of Life Do You Want to Live" grossed an impressive $5.56 million on its North American debut on Friday, surpassing the $4.73 million opening day box office of "Godzilla 1.0" a week ago. It may rewrite the record for the best non-American film opening weekend box office this year (11.4M).

In terms of word of mouth, "What Kind of Life Do You Want to Live" currently has a CinemaScore audience rating of A-, and a Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating of 95%.
