Studio Ghibli could close its doors as anime studio after Omoide no Marnie

The portal Rakuten Woman states that after the premiere of Omoide no Marnie Japanese theaters yesterday, could know by sources close to Omoide no study that Marnie will be the last film that produces anime Studio Ghibli. According to this interview, the study raised more than 30,400 million yen with Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro) in 2001, 19,600 million yen with Howl's Moving Castle (Howl no ugoku shiro) or 19,200 million yen with Princess Mononoke (Mononoke-hime) bypasses its best and that is why it has taken this difficult decision. Nearby sources will suggest that the reason for this debacle is due to the low collection of Kaguya-hime no Monogatari, the earlier film to Omoide no Marnie study, which grossed only 5,100 million yen and, the source says, was considered a "failure" Ghibli. It was then, they say, the decision to leave the industry as a producer of anime and make your next film, Marnie Omoide no, the last was taken. However, do not set off alarms and keep the film was advertised as "the last Ghibli film", we decided not to break the news before its release. As noted by this person also will close its doors as Ghibli anime production studio and stay only as having registered company to manage their brands. This decision is motivated by the fact that the study is no longer able to cope with multi-million dollar productions because, for instance, to wind up (Kaze Tachinu) Ghibli raised 11,600 million yen but are necessary about 2,000 million yen a year to keep all staff on the payroll and expenditures suffered that year amounting to 10,000 million yen, staying in the red number at the end. This news is not unexpected, as confirmed by the source, since since the withdrawal of Hayao Miyazaki after production wind up (Kaze Tachinu) within Ghibli and there were rumors that this could lead to the beginning of the end. So, after the failure of Kaguya-hime no Monogatari, Toshio Suzuki, the producer of the company, he decided in the spring that Ghibli would close, news that their workers are reported but not made public after wait Brand Marnie and find Omoide no, they say, the best time to give the sad news. Of course, the moment Ghibli has not given any announcement about it and we can only cross this rumor news, the absence of official confirmation, then know the veracity of the interview portal Rakuten Woman
