This weekend saw the end of the record-breaking, award-winning One Piece Film Red run in Japan, and it went out with a major bang. The official Eiichiro Oda staff Twitter account confirmed that the movie has pulled in an incredible 31.9 billion yen (about US$245.27 million) globally, making it the fourth highest-grossing anime film of all time in the world.
The only anime films that have performed better than One Piece Film Red globally are Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- the Movie: Mugen Train, Spirited Away and Your Name., in that order. Film Red‘s entry pushes Howl’s Moving Castle down a notch and moves Princess Mononoke out of the global top 10 completely.
Eiichiro Oda whipped up a celebratory illustration of Luffy in Gear 5 form to mark the occasion.
Meanwhile, in Japan, One Piece Film Red is now the sixth highest-grossing anime film of all time, overtaking Howl’s Moving Castle, while also becoming the region’s eighth highest-grossing overall film of all time.
Synopsis:
Uta—the most beloved singer in the world whose voice has been described as “otherworldly”—is renowned for concealing her own identity when performing. Now, for the first time ever, she will reveal herself to the world at a live concert.
With the Navy watching closely, the venue fills with Uta’s fans—including excited pirates and the Straw Hats led by Luffy, who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance—all eagerly awaiting the voice that the whole world has been waiting for to resound. The story begins with the shocking revelation that she is the enigmatic Shanks’ daughter.
