The official Evangelion Twitter account updated the Japanese box office total for Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time in anticipation of the film reaching 10 billion yen in a few weeks.
It is now very likely that Eva will likely reach the 10 billion yen milestone before it leaves Japanese theaters on July 21.
As of Sunday, July 4, Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time (and its updated “3.0+1.01” version) has made 9.75 billion yen (US$88.83 million) at the Japanese box office on the back of 6,393,000 tickets sold.
