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.
Thanks to opening in China and Japan, the Scarlett Johansson flick has grossed $41.3 million over the weekend, topping the worldwide box office.
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.
Somehow, Ghost in the Shell has managed a rather strange accomplishment.
