The ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ prequel movie is becoming one of the big anime premieres this season. After a stellar release in Japan, ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0′ It has finally reached theaters in the United States, and it has done so with a bang.
Spectacular reviews and second place at the American box office
‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’ serves as a prequel to the series based on the work of Gege Akutami. While the second season of the anime arrives, the film expands the lore of this universe a little more and also introduces a new protagonist: Yuto Okkutsu.
The film has finally begun to be released outside of Japan and as of this weekend it has been seen in theaters in the United States and Japan. Its start at the box office has been very good, since it is estimated that it has raised about 19 million dollars and has only been surpassed by ‘The Batman’.
There are no concrete figures yet but it is an extremely positive collection for an anime film. It lags a bit behind ‘Night Watch: Infinity Train’, which managed to rake in more than 21 million in its opening weekend, but it’s still a big start.
‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’ It has also managed to win over critics and audiences beyond the box office and can boast an almost perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, with 100% positive votes from specialized critics and a 98% audience at the time of writing this article.
And in Spain what?
And with all this to make us long teeth… When does ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’ arrive in Spain? Well, disappointing you a little, There is still no specific date but it seems that the official announcement is close.
Last week the networks were somewhat on fire with anime fans demanding that the film be released in Spain as soon as possible. The fact that the film has already begun to be released outside of Japan gives us hope, especially since there are already release dates for the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Germany and several countries in Europe, Africa and Oceania. In Latin America, in fact, it will arrive in certain theaters on March 24 with a Spanish dubbing.
The problem is that the issue of licenses is more complicated than it seems and in each country they are managed differently. Even so, and according to a direct that was organized from Crunchyroll in Spanish, it seems that New release dates for other territories will be announced this week, so we will have to cross our fingers to see if Spain is among these lucky regions.
Being very optimistic, it should not be ruled out that the film would be released in Spain between April and May, although it is also possible that ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’ premiered directly on the streaming platform along with the anime series. That yes, seeing the good box office data in the United States and the anticipation that there is with the film, perhaps the distributors do not want to miss such an opportunity.
