The Jujutsu Kaisen franchise made a theatrical return with its latest release, Hidden Inventory / Premature Death, a compilation film retelling key events from the anime’s second season.
Despite a limited release window, the film has earned approximately $6.4 million globally, with about $2.5 million coming from its two-day US run.
In Japan, the film debuted at number four at the domestic box office, collecting an estimated ¥388 million (around $3.9 million) during its opening weekend.
The US performance mirrored this momentum, with screenings offered in both subtitled and dubbed formats, drawing long-time fans eager to revisit the early relationship between fan-favorite characters Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
Although the release is technically a compilation and not a new feature-length storyline, it outperformed several other limited anime debuts, including DanDaDan and Kaiju No. 8, positioning it among the strongest anime film openings of 2025 so far.
The movie’s emotional weight, cinematic polish, and character focus appear to have contributed to its reception, as viewers welcomed the opportunity to see the Hidden Inventory arc on the big screen.
It also underscores the enduring global appeal of Jujutsu Kaisen, which continues to be a standout among modern shonen titles.
