Jujutsu Kaisen Outsells DanDaDan and Kaiju No. 8 at the Box Office
The story Jujutsu Kaisen tells is not new, as it is taken straight from Season 2, but that did not stop it from outperforming several other anime releases. Outside the US, it made $3.8 million in the domestic market (Japan), which is more than three times what DanDaDan’s debut collected globally, per Collider.
JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death: Weekend-wise domestic box office breakdown
- Weekend 1- $1.3 million
- Weekend 2- $877K
- Weekend 3- $698K
Total Domestic Collection – $3.8 million
Total Worldwide Collection – $6.4 million
In fact, Jujutsu Kaisen’s weekend earnings are already close to what DanDaDan: Evil Eye ($6.8m) made over an entire month, and it is also blown past Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon, which only reached $1.4 million during its full run.
If it keeps this momentum, it could soon overtake My Hero Academia: You’re Next, which made $5.04 million domestically. Despite MHA’s high praise from critics, it failed to pull in a big crowd this year.
