Just 50 million USD. Anime is still pretty cheap. Even marketing shouldn't put it above 100 million. Of course, the movie won't turn a "profit" because even Ghibli is as creative with its accounting as it is with its films. Kaze Tachinu still "didn't" turn a profit even after 120 million dollars in revenue, probably at least 3 times what it cost. Suzuki is a bro though. He should just let Oshii burn some of those money again sometime.

Next week = KenO Gundam BF episodes
Will Tanaka come?
Another Steamboy? The fact that they brought cost into the picture during promotion is going to jinx it. I myself have a knee-jerk reaction to these kinds of promotional methods. Who gives a shit how much it cost? I want to see a film that's good, not one that is just expensive. It's like they're begging people to go to the cinemas since they'll go bust otherwise. Well, I'd skip just to spite them.
It's just as wrong to say this of this film as it was for Redline. The production cycle isn't spent exclusively on animation. Relatively speaking, the animation portion itself is actually pretty fast.
You know, Dennou Coil was in production for 10 years.

That's exactly what they're doing. Takahata is not as renowned as Miyazaki and his last film flopped against meager competition. They need all the money they can squeeze out of people.
I don't think the film will be bad though, promotion campaigns won't retroactively change the production and Takahata has not made a truly bad thing in his entire career.

Why not? I was stalking his youtube account, there are lots of forgotten sakuga material in there.
In the "west" maybe. He is just as well known as Miyazaki in Japan.

People might know who he is, but he's not some sort of national treasure like Miyazaki. Just compare the revenue of his films against what Miyazaki's films do.
