If the 1.3 billion yen mark is met, One Piece will top Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo's 1,131,004,600 yen (US$13,913,200) for the title of "Japan's highest weekend box office of 2012."
Hisashi Sasaki, deputy director of Shonen Manga Group, uploaded a picture of the film's staff on the roof of Toei headquarters. According to him, there is a"TOEI shrine" where the film staff gathered "together to pray for success of the movie."
