Bocchi the Rock! has recently released the first of two compilation films, Bocchi the Rock! Re:. The compilation film duology is the first major project for the franchise since the anime ended in 2022, so even if there wasn’t any new content, there would still be a lot to be excited about, especially with the recent confirmation that the Bocchi the Rock! films would be released in North America.

Bocchi the Rock! Re: has only just been released in Japan, but it’s already a major success. According to reliable manga news reporter Manga Mogura RE on X, Yahoo! Japan officially reports that Bocchi the Rock! Re: placed first at the Japanese box office with over 218 million yen in its opening weekend, one of the biggest debuts for a compilation film with little to no new content.

Film by CloverWorks; Directed by Keiichiro Saito

The film’s success perfectly showcases how much popularity the anime has maintained over a year since its conclusion, and it’s another good sign that the Bocchi the Rock! franchise won’t be done anytime soon. While fans are still waiting for any news about a second season of the show, they can look forward to the release of Bocchi the Rock! Re: in North American theaters soon.
