Oh of course. It bombed hard because no-one outside of japan really knew what it was. But anime such as ghost in the shell and various others have much larger "pull" in a wider more general audience sense so they'd have a higher chance of not bombing completely.Pyrian said:Didn't Edge of Tomorrow kind of bomb? I really liked it, but my understanding is that the numbers were a disappointment.LazyAza said:I think we're going to get several more american film adaptations of japanese manga/anime similar to what was done with Edge of Tomorrow.
Heck an Attack on Titan movie, which is still supposedly going to happen some day would probably do extremely well. God knows that anime got watched by everyone everywhere. And its not like it would be hard to market "giant creepy monster fights - the movie" to western audiences who don't know about the manga/series.
