Re:Example of how anime is killed by American medi (Score 1)

A) Madagascar is a Dream Works movie, not Disney B) Disney only put Howl's in 36 theathers because that was the best median number given how ticket sales did on Spirited Away two years ago. C) Just because a movie is in more theaters does not mean it will produce more money (see the example of Madagascar being in 3000 and still pulling in the same as 202). What would be more likely is that the otaku who traveled to see the movie on those 202 screens would have been much more spread out, and you would have seen a much smaller gross-per-screen number
