Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Reaches $183M in Worldwide Box Office


Jujutsu Kaisen 0 may have left Japanese theaters last month but that doesn't mean that the film is slowing down. The anime movie that serves as a prequel to the main series continues to screen in theaters around the world and not surprisingly, it's still winning big at the box office. Amazingly, the film has earned over $180 million at the global box office!

Oricon recently revealed the latest numbers for Jujutsu Kaisen 0, confirming that the MAPPA-produced flick has brought in 24.25 billion yen around the world. The film has now reached US$183,310,489 in total, allowing it to rise up to become the 8th highest-grossing anime film of all time. At this point, JJK0 has overtaken Pokemon: The First Movie and is rapidly catching up with Stand by Me Doraemon.

This is great news considering that Jujutsu Kaisen 0 still has a long way to go before it leaves theaters across the globe. With that in mind, there's a huge possibility that the film will earn even more as it continues to open in cinemas in the future.

It was previously confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has been opening in new territories around the world. Most recently, the film has scored release dates in certain parts of Asia where more fans could finally enjoy it at the cinema. With that in mind, there is little doubt that JJK0 is well on its way to getting into the top 5 of the highest-grossing anime films of all time.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is based on Gege Akutami's manga of the same name that serves as a prequel to the main manga. It follows Yuta Okkotsu as he enrolls at the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School in an effort to get rid of the powerful curse that used to be his childhood friend. With the help of the powerful sorcerer Satoru Gojo, Yuta learns to accept the curse and how to control it to help others.

The movie adaptation is currently screening in theaters worldwide and is expected to be released in more countries soon. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is set to premiere in 2023.
