Overview

  • The film led the box office for a second weekend with roughly $16 million, edging Universal/Monkeypaw’s Him despite a steep 76–77% drop tied to heavy presales.
  • Domestic grosses have reached about $104 million, overtaking Pokémon: The First Movie to become the highest-grossing anime release in U.S. history.
  • Industry trackers and Crunchyroll report the title as the No. 1 film both globally and in North America, with worldwide totals reported above $500 million.
  • Its North American debut was approximately $70 million, the biggest domestic opening ever for an anime film and boosted by IMAX and other premium formats.
  • Crunchyroll executive Mitchel Berger confirmed the movie will not stream on the platform in 2025, and Ufotable has not announced release dates for the next two entries in the planned trilogy.
