Kyoto Animation’s Violet Evergarden: The Movie anime film has sold 390,000 tickets to earn 559 million yen (about US$5.31 million) after five days in the box office as of Tuesday.
The three short text stories are titled “Benedict Blue’s Violet,” “Oscar’s Little Angel,” and “Violet Evergarden If”.
The film earned 76.4% more than the first three days of last year’s Violet Evergarden I: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll theatrical side-story anime, which eventually earned a cumulative total of 831 million yen (about US$7.90 million).
The franchise’s separate side-story anime, titled Violet Evergarden I: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll (Violet Evergarden Gaiden: Eien to Jidō Shuki Ningyō), opened in theaters in Japan last September, and it screened for at least five weeks.
