Ponyo hits box office at #9, pulls in $3.5 million

Ponyo hits box office at #9, pulls in $3.5 million photo

You can't hear me, but I'm singing the Ponyo song right now. The good one -- not that crap one.

It's in celebration of the launch of Miyazaki's latest film to hit the US. According to ANN, the film debuted strongly, taking the #9 box office spot with sales of $3,506,000 during its opening weekend. It showed in 927 theaters across the country -- pretty respectable for an anime film,

These opening weekend figures makes Ponyo the 8th highest grossing anime film to run in the US. Congrats, Ghibli. 

Did any of you make it out this weekend to see Ponyo? Or were you all at District 9
