It also broke the first day Blu-ray sales record previously set by Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, which was released on April 24, 2013, selling 199,000 discs.
As of the last weekend (July 12-13), the film has earned 24,659,080,553 yen (US$243,522,423) in the Japanese box office in 18 weeks since its opening on March 14, and has become the third highest-grossing film of all time in Japan, following James Cameron's Titanic (1998/26.2 billion) in 2nd and Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away (2001/30.4 billion) in 1st.
