Crunchyroll has really been moving full speed ahead on delivering more anime features to theaters over the last year between Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, One Piece Film: Red, The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie, and now That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie: Scarlet Bond. It’s great to see these films have an opportunity to be seen in front of a larger audience with fans from all over the globe.

Not only that, some of these films are doing impressive numbers for their theatrical releases from Crunchyroll. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero had a No. 1 box office opening weekend and ended up making $38 million stateside. It outgrossed the domestic theatrical release of Dragon Ball Super: Broly in 2018 at $30 million. One Piece Film: Red did not open as high, but it ended up making $12 million domestically and $179 million worldwide.

Considering that anime audiences used to be very niche and an anime film getting a limited theatrical release was usually a rare occurrence. Not to mention, an anime feature making big numbers such as this in theaters was close to impossible, unless it was a Pokemon film being released in theaters.

What do you think of the news? Are you looking forward to checking out That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie: Scarlet Bond in theaters, courtesy of Crunchyroll?
