The latest weekend box office report is in for Japan, and the Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK movie came out on top. The feature—which serves as a compilation of the two-part Attack on Titan Final Season THE FINAL CHAPTERS anime special, opened in Japan on November 8 and pulled in 249 million yen (about US$1.63 million) on 175,000 admissions over the course of its first three days.
Other notable titles in the top 10 include the FUUTO PI anime film, which opened in 93 theaters (compared to Attack on Titan‘s 148 theaters) and ranked fifth. It also ranked first in Filmarks’ first-day satisfaction ranking, with 207 reviews netting an average rating of 4.20/5.0.
The live-action adaptation of No Longer Heroine author Momoko Koda’s Atashino! debuted in eighth place. Meanwhile, BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! Utau, Bokura ni Nareru Uta & FILM LIVE failed to rank, while Given The Movie: Umi e finally fell off Kogyo Tsushinsha’s mini-theater ranking in its eighth weekend. It could be that the latter is no longer considered a small release, since more theaters were added due to its success.
Attack on Titan The Movie: THE LAST ATTACK is two hours and fifteen minutes in length and includes some new footage. As of now, there’s no word on if it might also find its way to American cinema. With more anime movies reaching the American big screen, it’s possible that this movie will someday be in the U.S. box office.
The original Attack on Titan manga is published in America by Kodansha USA Publishing, which gave this description for the plot:
Attack on Titan Plot
A century ago, the grotesque giants known as Titans appeared and consumed all but a few thousand humans. The survivors took refuge behind giant walls. Today, the threat of the Titans is a distant memory, and a boy named Eren yearns to explore the world beyond Wall Maria. But what began as a childish dream will become an all-too-real nightmare when the Titans return and humanity is once again on the brink of extinction…
Attack on Titan is the award-winning and New York Times-bestselling series that is the manga hit of the decade! Spawning the monster hit anime TV series of the same name, Attack on Titan has become a pop culture sensation.
