news culture One Piece Red: a great start for the most anticipated animated film of the year in France!
The fifteenth film in the One Piece saga has just been released in cinemas in France and we are lucky to be able to discover it in theaters just a few days after its launch in Japan. French fans responded massively to the call of One Piece!
A heckled and then acclaimed launch
If no one doubted it, the success of the fifteenth animated feature film dedicated to the One Piece franchise promises to be even more memorable than expected. However, things have not always gone smoothly for this event launch, as the impatience of some fans has sometimes turned into collective hysteria. The day before the film’s launch, from the previews, some sessions turned outright disastrous by generating unacceptable incivility and outbursts. Results, cinemas must frame previews before things get out of hand in order to allow the vast majority of spectators to enjoy the event peacefully. Fortunately, fans continue to respond and most screenings are spared overflow, like at the Grand Rex where the spectators came out won over !
A nice birthday present
Not content to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the manga, the movie One Piece Red also promised fans of Eiichirô Oda’s work to bring some important revelations as the series prepares to enter its final stretch. The author of the manga had indeed announced that the story would soon enter its final phase, so fans are on the lookout for the slightest little element likely to enrich the universe of the franchise. One Piece Red is particularly interested in the case of Shanks le Roux’s daughter, even though this parenthood had never been mentioned before..

A thundering performance, especially when compared to that achieved by One Piece Goldthe previous film in the saga to be released in cinemas, which had barely managed to accumulate more than 4,000 admissions on the day of its release in 2016. Even the films Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Demon Slayer: The Infinity Train are far behind with respective scores of 113,443 and 58,500 entries. To find a competitor worthy of One Piece Redwe have to go back to the release in France of Pokémon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back in April 2000 which had totaled 207,804 admissions on the first day. With his 267,631 tickets sold, Luffy therefore exceeds Pikachu by a very large head. !
