Piece Film Red anime film revealed on Monday that the movie has earned over 9.2 billion yen (about US$67.04 million) at the Japanese box office and has sold over 6.65 million tickets as of Sunday, its 16th day in theaters.

Crunchyroll will theatrically screen the film in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, and it describes the film:
Uta —the most beloved singer in the world. Renowned for concealing her own identity when performing, her voice has come to be described as “otherworldly.” Now, for the first time ever, Uta will herself to the world at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans —excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance —the voice that the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins with the shocking fact that she is Shanks' daughter.
The film opened in Japan on August 6, and ranked #1 in the Japanese box office in its opening weekend. The film sold 1.58 million tickets and earned 2.254 billion yen (about US$16.7 million) in its first two days. The film earned 78% more in its first two days than the previous film One Piece Stampede did in its first three days (One Piece Stampede opened on a Friday, as opposed to One Piece Film Red's Saturday opening).
The film had sold a total of 4.62 million tickets for a total of 6,474,302,810 yen (about US$48.24 million) by the end of last Sunday, and had surpassed 5 million tickets for 7 billion yen (about US$52 million) by its 10th day in theaters in Japan.
