The film is now the Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space anime film's 2.3 billion yen (US$15.5 million by current conversion).

The film has been screening in 353 cinemas in Japan, and added 4DX, MX4D, and Dolby Cinema screenings starting on February 9.

The film opened in Japan on January 26. The film is planned to screen in 56 countries and territories.

Hisashi Hirai (Mobile Suit Gundam Seed) designed the characters.

Update: This article previously noted that the film had the biggest opening weekend for a film so far this year in Japan, but that record was Gekijōban Haikyu!! Gomi Suteba no Kessen film, which earned 2.23 billion yen ($14.9 million) in its first three days.
