EVANGELION:3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME was released
in Japanese theaters in 2021, where it was a critical and box
office success becoming the highest-grossing film of the year with
¥10.28 billion (~$85 million) in
local box office. The release marks the first time the film will be
available in theaters in North
America since its domestic release in Japan.
Created by Hideaki Anno, the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION
franchise is considered one of the most influential animated sagas
of all time. Since the 1995 premiere of the original television
series, the story of teenager Shinji
Ikari has remained one of the most iconic titles in
animation history, and a global pop culture phenomenon.
Following the conclusion of the beloved 1995 television show,
the legendary project received new life as
the EVANGELION movie series. The theatrical
film series began with EVANGELION:1.11 YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE
(2007), followed by EVANGELION:2.22 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE
(2009), EVANGELION:3.33 YOU CAN (NOT) REDO (2012), and
culminating in the finale EVANGELION:3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A
TIME.
Last year, GKIDS released the original twenty-six episode
television series, NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, as well as the
films EVANGELION:DEATH (TRUE)2 and THE
END OF EVANGELION on Blu-ray and digital download-to-own for
the first time in North America.
GKIDS also handles North American distribution for creator
Hideaki Anno's prior series,
NADIA: The Secret of Blue Water.
