About a week ago, the One Piece GOLD movie made its Japanese theatrical debut, enjoying huge success. Koch Media , the company that will deal with the distribution of the film in Italian cinemas starting from 24 November 2016 , underlined the great numbers obtained by the film : the opening of the box office generated revenues for a total of 11 million euros thanks to the sale of over 820,000 tickets in around 740 theaters.

Below you will find the statements of Umberto Bettini , Country Manager for Koch Media Italia :

“I welcome this news with great pleasure and enthusiasm. Koch Media will bring the film to Italian cinemas on November 24th and such a result can only confirm how much our offer is increasingly oriented and focused on a quality product. I realize that this is a domestic release, in the country that gave birth to the One Piece brand but numbers like that go far beyond the mere ‘love of country’. We hope, of course, that the fans of One Piece, and not only, will also support us in the Italian release, demonstrating how much this is a real worldwide phenomenon. “

Furthermore, Koch Media  announces that it has chosen Lucca Comics & Games (from 28 October to 1 November), the famous festival of comics, animated films and game illustration, to present a preview of One Piece GOLD.
