Bocchi the Rock! Dominates Japanese Box Office
Bocchi the Rock! Re: topped the Japanese box office with over 218 million yen in its opening weekend.
Bocchi the Rock! has recently released the first of two compilation films, Bocchi the Rock! Re:. The compilation film duology is the first major project for the franchise since the anime ended in 2022, so even if there wasnβt any new content, there would still be a lot to be excited about, especially with the recent confirmation that the Bocchi the Rock! films will be released in North America.
Bocchi the Rock! Re: has only just been released in Japan, but itβs already a major success. According to reliable manga news reporter Manga Mogura RE on X, Yahoo! Japan officially reports that Bocchi the Rock! Re: placed first at the Japanese box office with over 218 million yen in its opening weekend, one of the biggest debuts for a compilation film with little to no new content.
The filmβs success perfectly showcases how much popularity the anime has maintained over a year since its conclusion, and itβs another good sign that the Bocchi the Rock! franchise wonβt be done anytime soon. While fans are still waiting for any news about a second season of the show, they can look forward to the release of Bocchi the Rock! Re: in North American theaters soon.
