The first Gintama anime film, Gintama: The Movie, only brought in 1.04 billion yen (US$10.02 million) during its run in 2010, and the second film, Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya, brought in 1.7 billion yen (US$16.38 million).
While Gintama: THE FINAL can’t seem to catch up to Demon Slayer: Mugen Train in the weekend Japanese box office rankings, Gintama is doing quite well for itself, crossing 1 billion yen (US$9.63 million) in its third week in theaters and the back of 760,000 tickets sold.
Gintama: THE FINAL opened in Japanese cinemas on January 8.
