Two of this season’s prestige films that have played at a number of festivals this year will get nationwide releases on Friday with Focus Features expanding James Gray’s “ Armageddon Time” into an estimated 800 theaters on Friday. Because of that, there’s a very good chance Dwayne Johnson’s “ Black Adam” will remain #1 for a third weekend in a row, unless “One Piece Film” gets a wider release than projected. I’m guestimating that “Red” opens in somewhere closer to 2,500 theaters, which should keep its opening below $15 million this weekend. Both movies show the existence of North American audiences for theatrical anime releases, although that’s a pretty wide span to consider for “One Piece Film: Red,” especially not knowing into how many theaters it will open Friday. Almost exactly a year ago, FUNimation (which has since merged with Crunchyroll) released “My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission” into about 1,500 theaters where it opened with $8.2 million or $5,174 per theater. It defied expectations by opening with $21.1 million on its way to grossing $38.1 million domestically. In August, Crunchyroll released “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” in 3,018 theaters. SEE November 2022 box office preview: ’Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ will dominate a month of prestige pics That series has run for 20 seasons in Japan with over 900 episodes, so obviously there must be a fanbase to justify the theatrical release for “Red.” Otherwise, I might have been familiar with “Red,” which is the 15th feature film in the series based on the “One Piece” comics by Eiichiro Oda, which were turned first into the animated “One Piece” series by Toei Animation, starting in 1999. Instead of a studio movie with a big name star, Crunchyroll comes along with its latest anime film from Japan, “One Piece Film: Red,” a movie that has already grossed $144 million worldwide before getting its North American theatrical release, both in subtitled and dubbed into English versions.Īnime films have already been one of my weak spots in terms of the box office, only because I’m just not someone who watches all the modern manga series that are out there on the streamers (including Crunchyroll). Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview. U.S.November officially brings us into the holiday movie season, although it’s starting a bit slower than usual, being that there’s only one new wide release this weekend.
