Okay, let’s be real. Remember when Jujutsu Kaisen 0 hit theaters? It felt like forever ago, right? Or maybe that's just me feeling old.
So, the big question everyone wants answered: How long WAS that movie in theaters, anyway?
The Great JJK 0 Theater Run: A Memory
Honestly, trying to pinpoint the exact dates feels like trying to catch smoke. My memories are hazy. It's like asking me what I had for breakfast last Tuesday.
It definitely wasn't just a flash in the pan. We saw those adorable Yuta Okkotsu posters everywhere. Remember standing in that long line for tickets?
Most sources say it premiered in the US around March 2022. And honestly, that sounds about right. Winter was ending, spring was trying to spring.
Was It Too Long? An Unpopular Opinion
Here's where my hot take comes in. Brace yourselves. Did *JJK 0* overstay its welcome a little?
Don't get me wrong! I loved seeing Yuta's story on the big screen. Rika was terrifying and awesome!
But after a month or two, seeing it still playing felt… excessive. It’s like that one guest who stays a week too long after the party.
Other movies were coming out! New anime needed their chance! The poor theater employees probably memorized the entire script by then.
The Streamer Savior?
Eventually, like all good things (and some persistent ones), it did leave theaters. Hallelujah!
Then it popped up on streaming services. Probably Crunchyroll. I can't remember.
That's where I think these movies truly belong after their initial run. Home viewing is more my speed.
I get to pause for snacks! No annoying tall guy blocking my view! It's a win-win.
So, How Long *Really* Was It?
Back to the original question. It seems the general consensus is a good month or two. Plenty of time for multiple viewings, for superfans.
Some theaters probably held onto it longer, especially the smaller ones. Gotta squeeze every last penny, right?
I’m betting some theaters played JJK 0 until the film reel wore thin. Just kidding… mostly.
Regardless, its theatrical run felt impactful. It definitely boosted the Jujutsu Kaisen hype train. All aboard!
Final Thoughts: Theater Runs and Patience
Maybe I’m just impatient. Or maybe I'm just ready for the next big anime movie to grace the silver screen.
But hey, at least we have streaming. And Blu-rays, for the hardcore collectors. The age of easy access is here.
So, whether *JJK 0* was in theaters for too long or just the right amount of time, one thing’s for sure: it made a splash. And that’s what really matters.
