PVR Pictures posted an Instagram story on Thursday teasing a poster release with the hashtag "#JJKs0on."

PVR Pictures had confirmed with ANN on March 19 that it had not yet acquired the film rights for the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 anime film for India. At the time, the company did not respond to ANN's request for comment to explain further, but did state that it aims to bring more anime film releases to Indian theaters.

The film earned a total of 13.75 billion yen (about US$108.1 million) in its run in Japanese theaters. It ended its run on May 29, after 157 days at the box office. It has sold 9.80 million tickets, and jumped back up to #8 at the box office for the weekend of May 28-29.

The film is now the 14th highest-grossing film in Japan of all time, surpassing The Last Samurai.

The movie is the highest-earning film at the Japanese box office from the 2021 calendar year, after surpassing Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time.

The film is currently the seventh highest-earning anime film of all time worldwide, unadjusted for inflation.

The film is based on Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Tokyo Toritsu Jujutsu Kōtō Senmon Gakkō (Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School) manga prequel story, with MAPPA animating again and TOHO distributing. Megumi Ogata voiced the main character Yuta Okkotsu, and Kana Hanazawa voiced the character Rika Orimoto.
