It’s official, Gintama: THE FINAL has become the highest-grossing anime film in the Gintama anime franchise, overtaking the box office gross of the other “final” film in the series Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya.
This is highest than the 2013 film Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya, which brought in a total of 1.7 billion yen (US$15.93 million) during its entire run (and THE FINAL still has some weeks to go!).
As of February 28, Gintama: THE FINAL has brought in 1.74 billion yen (US$16.3 million) at the Japanese box office off the back of 1.25 million tickets sold.
