#The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie Takes 2nd Spot at Japanese Weekend Box Office

“The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie Takes 2nd Spot at Japanese Weekend Box Office”

The Quintessential Quintuplets movie ended its first weekend at the Japanese box office (May 21 to May 22) at second place, dethroning Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween as the top-grossing anime film at the weekend box office. The movie debuted in Japan on May 20 and scored a total gross of 390 million yen (~US$3.05 million) in its first three days.

The Quintessential Quintuplets Twitter account celebrated the movie’s debut box office performance by tweeting that it was ranked #1 out of the freshly released movies. The account also said that over 290 thousand people had watched the movie during its first three days.

Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween, which was pushed from the top spot by the Hideaki Anno-written Shin Ultraman live-action movie last week, further dropped to third place on the weekend ranking following The Quintessential Quintuplets movie’s debut. However, the film still managed a weekend gross of 238 million yen (~US$1.86 million), only slightly lower than The Quintessential Quintuplets‘s 267 million yen (~US$2,09 million) despite premiering back in April 15. Additionally, it is now placed 77th at the all-time ranking — surpassing the #83 ranking of last year’s Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet — with 7.99 billion yen (~US$62.5 million). 

Crayon Shin-chan: Mononoke Ninja Chinpuden also remained on the weekend ranking at fifth place. It has grossed over 1.7 billion yen (~US$13.3 million) in total since debuting on April 22. Meanwhile, the new Fullmetal Alchemist live-action movie Fukushuusha Scar (Scar the Avenger), which is the first of the two-parter Fullmetal Alchemist: The Final Chapter, ended its first weekend at #9 after premiering on the same date as The Quintessential Quintuplets movie.
