The next biggest knock to Ghost in the Shell’s global takings will be The Fate of The Furious, the Vin Diesel-led blockbuster that follows Furious 7, a film that took $1.516 billion at the box office and remains the highest-grossing foreign film ever in China.
Following relatively positive reviews, the upcoming eighth instalment will no doubt become the second film this year to open with a US domestic gross over $100 million.
Over in the US, Ghost in the Shell dipped over 60% while Boss Baby continues to hold the top spot, keeping Beauty and the Beast at bay, the Disney film fast approaching the $1 billion mark.
Meanwhile, a new animated version of Ghost in the Shell is currently being produced by publisher Kodansha and Japan-headquartered animation company Production I.G.
