does the anime series and the movie come to the same conclusion as the mange? back I saw the first season of the anime when it was new. after that I read the mange and didn't bother to see the second season of the anime.

There were probably 10-15 people at the Friday night screening I was at, one of four theaters playing it in a fairly small metro area (just under one million population). Not bad, considering how dead the multiplex was in general; there's a dearth of movies in the post-Covid pipeline, with so much stuff going straight to streaming.

Yeah, most of the trade papers have noted theaters are pretty dead right now, at least until Avatat 2 comes out.

The second season of the anime ends before the conclusion of the series, with the film covering the end and same conclusion as the manga.

I went to a local theater in the LA area (not in the downtown area) and although this played in a small screen theatre - almost every seat was taken. (I expected no more than like 10 people).

I went to see One Piece the week before during thanks giving and there were only 5 people in the theater (I understand it's Thanksgiving and people are home, but I've seen people out for Disney movies in droves during holiday screenings.)

Was really unexpected.

Not too bad, I went with my brother and we had a modest showing at our theater too. I'd say a little over 20 people showed up on a Friday night. Still a super fun movie though, nearly everyone was upset with the ending too.

My local screening had some twenty odd people - pretty much the biggest crowd we've ever seen here. (And that was an early Fri evening showing, with a snow warning on...) When the Euph movie screened, there was a whole seven...

You never know what you will get with these screenings. I've been to packed houses for a re-showing of Mononoke Hime, Danmachi movie...I've seen movies that I would have thought would be popular have 2 people show up. For Liz and the Blue Bird I had the theater to myself (and they had a problem with the feed in that theater, so they moved it to another one all for a single viewer).

Yeah for Mononoke I imagine it always gets a sizeable audience just do to it being a classic movie most people have seen and enjoy re watching. DB Super had a big screen and big audience for being a 9 PM show time. It really is so random how some of these movies are received.

I was also unhappy at the ending since I never read the manga - so the choice seemed odd to me no matter how much they tried to make sense of it.. Oh well. Still a very good movie though!

I wonder how little money the poor voice actors received for their work.

Are they even doing dubbed screenings?
Honest question, I'm way behind with the Quints and haven't even looked into seeing this as a result.

Yes, they are having dubbed screenings.

I went Saturday to one of my local Cinemark theaters with an afternoon subtitled screening (the other theater was 11am). Had about 10-12 other people in my screening.

They were showing the dub on Sunday at the same times they ran Saturday and also again this Wednesday around 7pm. Still haven’t decided if I want to go see the dub on Wednesday night, since I work right across from the theater.

Just saw it in theaters yesterday and loved it! It was just me and one other person but I watched the dubbed version at 1pm on a Tuesday so that's likely why, lol
