It was 33.6 percent down from its opening weekend result but enough to maintain its No.1 position for two consecutive weekends.
As reported, the 115-minute film reached the five billion yen (37.5 million USD) mark in eight days from its release on August 6. And the film's official Twitter confirmed today that its cumulative box office gross surpassed the seven billion yen (52.5 million USD) mark on five million admissions in ten days, which was faster pace than the 2021 film Jujutsu Kaisen 0. It has already become the franchise's highest grossing film, surpassing the 12th film One Piece Film Z's (2012) total gross of 6.87 billion yen (51.49 million USD).
