One of the biggest anime announcements for Indian fans this season is the confirmed theatrical release of JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death.
PVR Inox Pictures announced that the compilation film — which adapts the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death (Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu) arc from Season 2 of the anime — will officially open in Indian theatres on January 1.
This arc is considered one of the most emotionally impactful parts of Jujutsu Kaisen, focusing on:
- Gojo Satoru and Suguru Geto’s past
- Their time as students at Jujutsu High
- The events that ultimately shaped their opposing paths
Box Office Performance in Japan
The compilation film premiered in Japan on May 30, where it:
- Ranked #4 at the Japanese box office during its opening weekend
- Sold 138,000 tickets
- Earned approximately ¥198 million (US$1.36 million) in just three days
Music & Production Details
The film features a special acoustic version of “Ao no Sumika”, performed by Tatsuya Kitani, originally the opening theme for Season 2. This softer arrangement perfectly matches the emotional tone of the arc.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s History in India
