Full-length anime “Attack on Titan: Final Attack” (Attack on Titan: The Last Attack) continues to collect money at the domestic box office. In its second weekend, the film dropped from first to second place at the box office. Over the past three weekends from November 15 to 17, his fees made up 179 million yen (about $1.15 million) with 125 thousand tickets sold. The overall result exceeded 500 million yen (about $3.23 million) in box office receipts and 380 thousand tickets sold.
The anime was released in Japan on November 8th. It will be in theaters for three weeks with a new post-credits scene, the contents of which have already been revealed.
The Final Attack is a compilation film released to commemorate the anniversary of the end of the Attack on Titan series based on Hajime Isayama’s manga. The last two parts of the series were remade into a 145-minute featurette. The film has 5.1 surround sound and updated video.
The film will be released in Russia in three versions on December 10. The anime will appear in theaters with subtitles and in two dubbing versions: from DEEP and from the Studio Gang.
The original manga was published in 2009–2021 in the monthly Bessatsu Shonen Magazine published by Kodansha and collected in 34 volumes. As of November 2023, the total worldwide circulation of the work exceeded 140 million copies.
The Attack on Titan franchise includes anime, light novels, spin-off manga, video games, and more.
The first three seasons of the series were produced by Wit Studio. Studio MAPPA worked on the fourth and final season of the adaptation.
David: I agree with Sarah. While the limited-time release definitely created excitement, it also made it difficult for some fans to catch it in theaters.
