The Shingeki no Kyojin movie is a success

In its first weekend of release in Japan, the film "Shingeki no Kyojin: The Last Attack" has achieved an overwhelming success at the box office, grossing 235 million yen in just three days of limited screenings, as it was only available in 150 theaters nationwide. The film debuted at No. 1 in the box office rankings for the week, with a remarkable 65 million yen earning on its first day alone. However, this "new" release has generated debate among fans due to its nature.

Unlike what some fans expected, this installment does not contribute original material to the story of "Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan)". Instead, it is a compilation of the final episodes of the anime, designed for those who want to relive the climactic moments of the battle between humanity and the titans on the big screen. The only additional content is a brief post-credits scene, which does not contribute significantly to the main plot or reveal new information for the story's closure. This choice has aroused some dissatisfaction among those who expected more, although this does not seem to have affected its initial success at the Japanese box office.

Interestingly, the film has caused a stir on social networks and international film platforms, becoming a trend in the IMDb database, where it reached a perfect rating of 10/10. This detail caught the attention of fans and analysts, since the five-star ratings come mostly from users in countries such as India, the United States, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom; places in which the film is not available, since, so far, the premiere has only been made in Japan. This phenomenon has led some users to question the authenticity of the ratings and has raised suspicions about whether the "hype" and excitement of the fan base in those countries influenced the scores.

"Shingeki no Kyojin" has been one of the most successful and acclaimed series of the last decade, with a huge following both in Japan and internationally. The franchise is known for its intensity, character development, and unexpected twists in the narrative, which have managed to keep fans on the edge of their seats until its conclusion. This compilation film, although it lacks original content, offers fans of the series one last chance to experience the denouement on the big screen, which seems to have been enough to ensure its success at the box office.
