Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will also release in the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, French-speaking Africa, and Latin America sometime in the near future. The film is expected to be released in more territories, though no release window has been provided.

The film recently became the 50th highest-earning film in Japanese box office history after selling 6,812,266 tickets and earning ¥9,310,477,450 (roughly US$81.7 million) in its first 31 days at the box office. It is currently outpacing last year’s highest-earning film in Japan, Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time, which earned around ¥10.22 billion (roughly US$88 million) during its run.

Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (renamed from Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School) manga ran in Shueisha’s Jump GIGA magazine from April-July 2017. The series serves as a prequel to Akutami’s popular Jujutsu Kaisen series, which began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in 2018. The series has amassed 18 collected volumes throughout its run so far. A free-to-play RPG developed by Sumzap was announced in June 2021, though nothing new regarding the project has been disclosed since.

MAPPA animated a 24-episode anime adaptation of the manga from October 2020-March 2021, with Sunghoo Park (Banana Fish, The God of High School) directing and Hiroshi Seko (Attack on Titan, Dorohedoro) serving as screenwriter.

MAPPA returned to animate Jujutsu Kaisen 0, alongside Park and Seko. The film stars Megumi Ogata (Evangelion’s Shinji Ikari, YuYu Hakusho’s Kurama) as Yuta Okkotsu, with Kana Hanazawa (Steins;Gate’s Mayuri Shiina, Psycho-Pass’ Akane Tsunemori) voicing Rika Orimoto.

VIZ Media licenses the manga in English alongside Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and VIZ Media owns the home video rights.
