Meanwhile, the second live-action Golden Kamuy film made its debut at #3 on the charts. The manga series, known for its historical adventure story set in early 1900s Hokkaido, has built a dedicated fanbase through both its original manga and anime adaptations.

Also making waves in theaters is Eiga Himitsu no AiPri Mankai Bazulium Live!, which opened at #8. This film appears to be connected to the AiPri (Himitsu no AiPri) anime series, bringing its colorful world to the big screen.
