Hayao Miyazaki's new work ”How do you live?” ranks first in advance sales rate... Will the ”Japanese anime boom” return?

The Japanese anime boom is showing signs of rekindling in South Korea.Director Hayao Miyazaki's new anime ``How to Live with You'' has risen to the top in advance sales rates 10 days before its release.
According to the Movie Promotion Committee's integrated movie theater ticket computer network, ``How to Live'' had over 47,550 advance viewers as of 9 a.m. on the 17th. box for 2 weeks
Office's top-selling movie "30 Days" (16,683 viewers) and this week's "Meet the Wind: The Season of Kim Ho Joong" (16,070 viewers) and "Killers of the Hula"
This number greatly overwhelms ``War Moon'' (13,051 people) and ``The Expendables 4'' (12,677 people). This year, the Japanese anime boom was particularly strong in the theater district. This January
The anime ``THE FIRST SLAM DUNK'', which was released in 2017, created a huge viewing boom and reached a final audience of 4.76 million people. This was followed by “Suzume no Tojime,” which was released in March.
"Mari" also rode on the hot virals and attracted 5.55 million viewers. On the other hand, Korean movies are clear except for ``Crime City 3,'' ``Smuggling,'' and ``Concrete Utopia.''
There are no box office productions. Only three Korean films made it into the top 10 box office in 2023. The performance in the theater district for mid-autumn celebrations is even more dismal. Aiming for the golden week of mid-autumn celebration, “19
47 Boston'', ``Dr. Jeong's Retirement Institute: Seol-kyung's Secret'', ``Spider's Web'', and ``Family's Glory: Returns'', followed by ``30 Days'', ``Hwarang'', and ``Gorgeous Girlfriend'', which are ambitiously released.
However, with the exception of ``Dr. Jeong'' and ``30 Days,'' there are no Korean films that have received more than 1 million viewers. Meanwhile, Japanese animation, which has both good quality and box-office potential, is about to be released, and the movie world
is not easing the tension. One film industry official said, ``In the case of Japanese animation, there is a fixed audience that is highly loyal, and as long as the movie is released, the number of viewers above a certain level can be secured.''
It's also a new film by director Hayao Miyazaki, who is considered a master craftsman, and with Japanese animation showing particular strength this year, I think Korean films will continue to be at a disadvantage for some time."
``How do you guys live?'' is a mystery story about Mahito, a boy who accidentally steps into a mysterious world that transcends time and space.
This is a fantasy that transcends time and space and unfolds when you meet a gray heron. This is director Hayao Miyazaki's first new film in 10 years. Voice appearances by stars such as Masaki Suda and Takuya Kimura, and Japanese New Age masters
Joe Hisaishi's sensuous music and Kenshi Yonezu's emotional ending song are expected to captivate the audience. It will be released in South Korea on October 25th.
