“One Piece Film Red” No.1 in mobilization ranking at encore screening, 120,000 people attended, and 160 million yen in box-office revenue.

The encore screenings of “One Piece Film Red”, the movie based on Eiichiro Oda’s popular manga “One Piece”, directed by Goro Taniguchi, were held from October 20th.

Over the 3 days from October 20th to 22nd, the film attracted approximately 120,000 viewers and topped the movie audience rankings (according to Kogyotsushin).

“One Piece Film Red” centers around the world-famous diva Uta appearing live in concert for the first time.

Luffy and his Straw Hat crew, pirates, the navy, and fans around the world fill the venue, eager to hear Uta’s otherworldly singing voice she has kept hidden until now.

It is then revealed that Uta is Shanks’ daughter. Uta is voiced by Kayaori Namekawa and sung by Ado.

Exceeding the approximately 6.87 billion yen earned by 2012’s “One Piece Film Z” directed by Tatsuya Nagamine, “One Piece Film Red” set a new box office record for the One Piece film series.
