The film opened in Japan on July 14, and has earned a cumulative total of 3,738,366,400 yen (about US$34.40 million). The film earned more than 3 billion yen (about US$27.20 million) after 30 days in theaters. The film had the highest opening two days of any Japanese live-action film in 2017 so far. The film's total box-office earnings are expected to surpass 5 billion yen (US$44.7 million).
Sorachi began the manga in 2004 and it continues to be ranked among the top-selling manga in Japan. The manga has more than 50 million copies in print in Japan.
