With the fourth day’s tally included, the film now rises to #8 for the extended weekend.
The film had earned an estimated US $6.4 million under the three-day, Friday-Sunday tally to initially land at #9. Even with just the three-day tally, the film earned the highest opening-weekend box office take of any Ghibli film in the United States.
