Chou Kaguya-hime! is in an extended theatrical afterlife: revival screenings close November 5, second-run screenings and a one-week 4DX and ULTRA 4DX encore open November 6, and cumulative box office has passed 3.4 billion yen.
Chou Kaguya-hime! began as a Netflix film with a one-week theatrical run in February. The revival screenings that followed have been extended repeatedly, and Twin Engine announced on October 20 that they close at all theaters on November 5, the same day the HELLO! MOVIE secondary audio commentary track ends. Second-run screenings start November 6 at new theaters in the standard format, with the "Fanatic Omatsuri Girl" cheering uchiwa fans back as an admission bonus and the "Reply" music video playing after the feature. A one-week 4DX and ULTRA 4DX encore also runs November 6 to November 12, with paper clips as the bonus and the "ray Chou Kaguya-hime! Version" music video attached. Cumulative box office has passed 3.4 billion yen.
The film's reach has widened beyond cinemas. From September 18 the revival screening added MX4D, 4DX, SCREENX, ULTRA 4DX, and Dolby Atmos. An information program, "Tsukuyomi Thanksgiving Festival INFO," revealed the VR Tsukuyomi World and 3D models of Sakayori Iroha and Tsukimi Yachiyo, and the tutorial area opens on VRChat at midnight on Friday, September 25. A free live, "Tsukuyomi Thanksgiving Festival ~Mecha Uma Pancake Party~," runs December 26 at 21:00 on the film's official YouTube and VRChat.
Twin Engine also opened a manga pipeline around the film. Its web manga label Bibibi Comic launched on August 7 with 31 titles, including Chou Kaguya Meshi!, an official spinoff set ten years after the movie, written by Teruya based on a plot by director Yamashita. On the physical side, the deluxe limited edition Blu-ray sold out its initial 100,000-unit allocation within days, and the official store took additional reservations from May 28 to June 11 with a second 100,000-unit cap for later shipping.
