Bushiroad announced on December 9 that the cumulative toatl box office gross of Revue Starlight The Movie had finally surpassed 300 million yen (2.2 million USD) in 18 months since its release in June 2021.

 

Following the 12-episode TV series in 2018 and its compilation film Revue Starlight: Rondo Rondo Rondo in 2020, the all-new 120-minute film Revue Starlight The Movie was released in Japan on June 4, 2021. In 2022, the film won second place in the Anime Fan Award at the Tokyo Anime Awards and was selected as one of the Jury Selections works in the animation division of the Japan Media Arts Festival (along with Mobile Suit GUNDAM Hathaway, Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train, Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop, and Josee, the Tiger and the Fish).

 

Even now, one year and six months after its release, the film is still being re-screened in Japan, and it has already been scheduled to be screened at two theaters in Kanagawa and Tokyo from January 2023.

 

 

 

 

Revue Starlight The Movie has been streamed on HIDIVE since August 24, 2022. Sentai Filmworks describes the film as:

 

The stage emulates life and compresses it, setting free skills learned over lifetimes in brief but dazzling displays for the amusement and judgment of others. For the performers, it is the ultimate risk, and some will rise while others must fall. Nowhere is this truer than at the Seisho Music Academy, where music, dance and real weapons all come into play in the creation of the next great Star. Karen and Hikari’s destinies have been linked since a childhood promise, but their journeys here have taken very different paths. Now, after Hikari leaves, Karen must discover who she is without her opposite, while Hikari must rediscover her own course. Nor are they the only girls who must reassess and change if they want to achieve their dreams, as the dance, magic, and swordplay continue in REVUE STARLIGHT: THE MOVIE!
