Eiga Delicious Party Pretty Cure: Yumemiru Okosama Lunch! (Delicious Party Pretty Cure the Movie: Dreamy Children's Lunch!), the 31st feature film in Toei Animation's long-running magical girl anime franchise, was released in 270 theaters across Japan on September 23, then earned a very good 186 million yen (1.29 million USD) on 154,000 admissions on its first Saturday and Sunday to make its third place debut.
The Friday on which the film was released was Autumnal Equinox Day, Japan's second national holiday of September, and on that one day alone, the film surpassed the first Saturday and Sunday box-office gross (170 million yen) of the franchise's previous 30th film Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure the Movie: The Snow Princess and the Miraculous Ring! in October 2021. The film's total gross for the three days from Friday through Sunday was 367 million yen (2.54 million USD) on 308,000 admissions, which was about 200 percent of that of Tropical-Rouge!.
The film also ranked fourth in Filmarks' first day satisfaction ranking with an average rating of 3.86/5.0 based on 128 reviews.
