Overview

  • The film has topped $300 million worldwide and ranks as the No. 6 highest-grossing anime movie, with Japan’s tally above ¥30 billion and seven straight weeks at No. 1.
  • Crunchyroll and Sony set the United States and Canada release for September 12 in IMAX and other premium formats, with subscriber-only early screenings on September 9 at 7 p.m.
  • India opens September 12 on 750+ screens in five languages, with advance booking on September 5 and a special Mumbai screening on September 7.
  • Premium formats are lifting results, including IMAX earnings reported in the tens of millions and 4DX surging in Korea with over 90% opening-weekend occupancy and 3.4 million admissions.
  • Domestic tracking points to a sizable U.S. debut around $30 million, a projection that would challenge records for anime openings if realized.
