Awards-qualifying run imdb

What does “awards-qualifying run” mean?

It means the movie will apply for an Oscar nomination in 2020. The rules for that state¹ that the movie must have at least 1 week theatrical run in Los Angeles, thus the movie will be available there for short before it gets wider national release.

Set² during a period of exceptionally rainy weather, high-school boy Hodaka Morishima runs away from his troubled³ rural home to Tokyo and befriends an orphan girl who can manipulate the weather.
