Evangelion has finally broken the AT Field of the Top 10 highest-grossing anime films with the “final” film Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time topping 9.33 billion yen at the Japanese box office as of its 105th day in theaters.
If Evangelion 3.0+1.0 keeps up the steady pace at the box office, it could easily get to the 10 billion yen milestone, but is unlikely to pass The Wind Rises’ 12.02 billion yen (US$116.9 million) box office gross.
On the full Japanese box office chart, Evangelion 3.0+1.0 now ranks 49, ahead of Code Blue: The Movie at 93 billion yen.
