Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Just Hit Its Biggest Box Office Milestone Yet
Jujutsu Kaisen has cemented itself as one of anime's top titles these days, and the series just got a close-up with its new movie. After debuting in Japan last winter, the film has gone live stateside to rave reviews. And just days after its North American launch, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has hit its biggest box office record yet.
The update comes from Mantan Web in Japan as the entertainment industry overseas noted its latest box office totals. It turns out Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has joined Japan's 20 top-grossing movies to date. The film landed in 20th this past week as moviegoers spent another $108 million USD on the film this past weekend.
According to box office reports, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 just beat out Jurassic Park to nab its new spot. The film is very close to knocking Bohemian Rhapsody from spot 19, and other films like Frozen II could still fall to the anime venture. However, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will have to stretch wide if it wants to tackle the box office's next anime entry as Weathering With You sits at spot 13.
