The Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie might have been released in December 2021, but its reign on the box office is still going strong. It has been topping the charts for several consecutive weeks now and is still unconquerable.
As The Deer King anime film premiered on January 4, 2022, many otakus had feared that it would topple Jujutsu Kaisen, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
The film ranked seventh on its debut, and disappointment is visible among fans.
Recently, Toho announced that the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie had surpassed ten billion yen ($90.77 million) in revenue. Currently, it stands as the highest-grossing 2021 movie in Japan.

It has surpassed Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time which has accumulated $89.9 million.
The superb marketing strategies for the Jujutsu Kaisen film have also led to a considerable increase in revenue. Theatergoers were given bonus items, including a manga featuring Yuta Okkotsu.
4D and Dolby cinema screenings started in February, and it led to a 176% increase in revenue compared to the previous weekend.
Although the superhit film was in second place for the third and fourth weekends, it is back on track now with no sign of slowing down.
Yuta Okkotsu has won over many hearts that had previously belonged to Gojo Satoru. His debut in the film was aptly followed by his return in the manga.
The recent chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen show Yuta getting involved in the Culling Games.
MAPPA has once again hit the jackpot with its dynamic animation. Can Jujutsu Kaisen 0 contend with Demon Slayer: Mugen Train movie’s massive success? That particular query remains to be answered.
About Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen, also known as Sorcery Fight, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Gege Akutami, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump since March 2018.
An anime television series adaptation produced by MAPPA premiered in October 2020.
The story revolves around Yuuji Itadori, a high-school student who, despite hating athletics, is insanely fit. Yuuji gets involved in the world of sorcery when he swallows a powerful talisman to protect his friends from its curse.
On observing that Yuuji wasn’t affected much even when inflicted with this curse, Satoru decides to send Yuuji on a quest to save the world.
