The official blog of the Girls und Panzer anime series announced on Tuesday that the movie Girls und Panzer der Film, which opened in theaters in Japan on November 21, has surpassed 1 million admission tickets sold.

As of April 4, Girls und Panzer der Film has earned ¥1,805,276,384 in the Japanese box office with 1,096,617 admission tickets sold. It is currently the fourth highest-grossing movie based on a late night anime series, behind Love Live! The School Idol Movie (2015), Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 3: Hangyaku no Monogatari (2013), and K-On! Movie (2011).

While standard screenings of Girls und Panzer der Film have mostly ended, the movie began 4DX screenings on February 20 and has since seen reinvigorated box office sales. The official website currently lists 33 theaters screening the movie in 4DX format, with three additional theaters scheduled to begin screenings later this month.

Girls und Panzer der Film will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on May 27. It will also be available for digital purchase on Amazon Video, Tsutaya TV, PlayStation Video, Hikari TV, Bonobo, and Rakuten Showtime.

Good for the studio as well. This is like their only hit. Hope this means season 2.

Almost one month too late. It was announced on March 16th that the movie had sold 1 million tickets:

Everything else looks okay to me.

For those interested, here is how the Girls und Panzer Movie compares to K-ON Movie and Madoka Movie 3. It is now very likely to beat the K-ON Movie, so who knows how much higher it will go?

Note: I did not include the Love Live Movie, because Girls und Panzer Movie is unlikely to reach that high even if it stays in theaters for a comparable number of days (202).

Very much happy with this news. Love GuP. It's an anime for those who want to have fun watching girls fighting in WW2-era tanks as a sport. If you're not a bit interested in that concept then it's not for you.

Yes, you should. It's highly entertaining and the characters are all likeable.

As for news, pretty good, the series deserves it.

Wow, the way halfway through the line just goes heroic second wind. Does that coincide with the 4DX screenings? Or is that just Garupan being いいぞ?

But... that's what makes it great! :<

Also... :D


But in all seriousness:
In the beginning it really seems like it's only about the girls making tanks / tank battles cute, but later on the tank battles are surprisingly engaging, clever and exciting IMO. That's also a huge part that made me like this series so much. I recommend watching it~ =)

Yes, the increase in the slope of the trend line coincides with the beginning of the 4DX screenings on February 20.

Not rly. Kizu was released past its prime. While gup was released at its rising popularity.

It's pretty logical if you understand an ounce of economics

Hope in the movie they use more war songs like that Russian one in the series. It was hype.

True that. I imagine that a Kizumonogatari movie released around 2010 to 2012 would have made 2 billion yen pretty easily.

Yup but I enjoy the trade off. I doubt they would have matched this quality 5-3 years ago. As long as I, the fan am happy I can care less about the sales. Besides they are making a profit from this franchise anyways. 1 billion or 800m its still good. Now if it made 500m I would be a bit worried.

A new update to the Box Office Gross for the GaruPan Movie.

Girls und Panzer Movie finally overtakes K-ON! Movie for 3rd highest grossing late-night Anime Adaptation Movie:
http://girls-und-panzer.at.webry.info/201604/article_10.html . As I said, if the GaruPan Movie is given sufficient time at the Box Office, it would be inevitable it'd pass K-ON. For the record, it took 23 weekends for GaruPan to reach 1.9 billion yen, while it took K-ON! 22 weekends to do so.

My, Girls und Panzer's average ticket price is really high. Those 4DX screenings must have been expensive as hell.

The 4DX screenings is 1000 yen higher than normal movie tickets. The normal ticket prices are:

1800 yen for an adult
1500 yen for a university student
1000 yen for elementary, middle and high school students
1100 yen for seniors (> 60 years of age)
1100 yen on the 1st day of the month and/or on ladies' day (which is every Wednesday)

So yeah, that's why the trajectory of its Box Office gross increased a lot after the 4DX screenings started.

A new update to the Box Office Gross for the GaruPan Movie.

Girls und Panzer Movie has finally passed the 2 billion yen milestone and has mobilised over 1.2 million attendees, as of its 27th weekend:
http://girls-und-panzer.at.webry.info/201605/article_6.html . I guess Madoka 3 only has a few weekends left before it falls to GaruPan, provided the GaruPan Movie lasts for that long at theaters.
