This had made the “final” Evangelion film the 9th highest-grossing anime film in Japan of all time, just under Hayao Miyazaki’s last retirement film The Wind Rises at 12.02 billion yen (US$116.9 million).
With this jump, Evangelion 3.0+1.0 is now the 42nd highest-grossing film of all time in Japan, above 2015’s Jurassic World film, and below A.I. Artificial Intelligence which made an astonishing 96.6 billion yen in 2001.
As of June 27, Evangelion 3.0+1.0 has grossed 9.57 billion yen (US$87.22 million) on the back of 6.26 million tickets sold.
