To promote the ongoing theatrical run in Japan, the official Japanese website for Pacific Rim: Uprising has posted another collaboration art featuring Gipsy Avenger from the sequel film and one of Japan’s most well-known super robots, Mazinger Z, from its latest feature Mazinger Z: Infinity released in January.
Pacific Rim: Uprising, a sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 movie Pacific Rim, was released in Japan on April 13, three weeks later than the US.
It earned 279 million yen in its opening weekend, which was 134.1% of that of the fist film that made 1.55 billion yen from its total run in Japan.
