One Piece Film: Red has also reportedly broken even more records, placing second in two key categories, which emphasize the film's success.

Follow along as this article fully breaks down the latest news regarding One Piece Film: Red’s success on its opening weekend.

Unsurprisingly, Japanese citizens flocked to movie theaters to catch the film, with the Saturday and Sunday numbers being ¥2,254,237,030 ($16.63 million) combined with over 1.5 million admissions to theaters. Within the franchise, the film has already become the highest-grossing opening weekend. However, the film has also broken some other general box office records as well. Film: Red has already become the second highest-grossing Japanese opening weekend in history, which includes live-action cinema as well as anime and other animated films. When looking at two-day openings, the only film to have a better gross is 2020’s Demon Slayer: Mugen Train. However, this is excluding Mugen Train’s Friday numbers as well as other films’ Friday numbers, since Film: Red opened on a Saturday rather than a Friday. As a result, the movie’s rank begins slipping once these Friday numbers for other films are included.

If the attendance numbers and excitement surrounding the film continue, it certainly has a fighting chance at beating One Piece Film: Z's highest-grossing overall at 6.87 billion Yen. What’s most impressive about all of these various achievements Film: Red has made is that it marks the 15th film in the franchise overall. For such a long-running franchise, with so many films and other mediums to consume, it’s impressive to see such record-breaking numbers 15 films and 25 years later. The film follows Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew as they attend the concert of Uta, the world’s most popular singer. However, as most of the world is unaware, Uta is the daughter of the legendary Yonko Shanks and is a childhood friend of Luffy via his well-established acquaintance with Shanks.
