It’s been barely two weeks since the movie Jujutsu Kaisen arrived in France that it already competes withhuge cadors like The Batman in terms of sales of tickets in the cinemas. However, the trend is global, with a record impressive got by the film on the japanese territory.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 : a record on Japanese soil
In recent years we have seen appearing in French cinemas a renewed love for Japanese animated films adapted from manga. The runaway success of the film Demon Slayer: The Infinity Train is the most impactful proof of this, but that would be to forget the very recent Jujutsu Kaisen 0currently in theaters. In both cases, the first screenings of the films were very hectic, with major overflows in the Grand Rex over several screenings. We had devoted an article to these overflows to be found right here. However, we are not here to talk about the film on French territory, since on Japanese soil, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 just set an impressive record at the Japanese box office.

In fact in Japan, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 begins its 7th week in theatersand achieves a very impressive score, with 7,603,732 admissions for 80 million euros in revenue in 45 days. This excellent score at the Japanese box office gives it the rank of biggest box of the year 2021 in Japanthat is the highest-grossing and highest-viewing film of all of 2021while it was released on December 24, 2021. Currently, the film has grossed over $120.7 million worldwide. But that’s not all ! this success also earned him a place in the top 10 of the biggest hits on Japanese soil, eighth place ahead Frozen 2 (19th) Avatar (12th) or even Le Howl’s Moving Castle (9th) and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (11th). However, it is still far from the phenomenal success of the film Demon Slayer…
Work before achieving success Demon Slayer
Let’s be clear about this, movie results Jujutsu Kaisen 0 are truly impressive and are proof to cinema operators that Japanese anime films are just as profitable as other film genres. But it is mandatory to make the comparison with Demon Slayer: The Infinity Train which, two years ago completely exploded the world box office for several reasons, one of which is not insignificant its timing corresponding to a relaxation of the Covid-19 health rules. Period shared equally Jujutsu Kaisen 0. During its sixth operating period, i.e. the same period as that studied for JJK0the film Demon Slayer accumulated more than 19 million cinema admissions for 25.9 billion yen in profits, where he had already risen to second place in the ranking of the greatest Japanese successes, ahead of titanic. Since, Demon Slayer: The Infinity Train is Japan’s highest-grossing film and it continues to grow since some cinemas still show it.
