Anime Weathering With You jumps from 40 screens to 250 in the UK!

Please correct me if I’m wrong but this is unprecedented - an anime film proving so popular that its had its cinema release hugely increased, making it more accessible. This follows on from an opening weekend box office (including previews) of £221,320 - almost 10 times that of director Makoto Shinkai’s previous release, Your Name’s £22,274 opening.
