A popular Japanese series Sword Art Online does not cease to thrill its audience! The very last weekend it surprised the fans with a new movie Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale which apparently was nothing short of a grand success, and so it deserved its place on the weekend’s top spot.
Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale made a sale of around 305,000 tickets for only one weekend, which means that, when converted into money, it made a profit of roughly $3.76 million. The movie was released in 150 theaters all over the country. After Your Name, this is the first anime movie to be #1 when it comes to its attendance and earnings.
Here you can read the synopsis for Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale:
“In 2024, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Akihiko Kayaba, called NerveGear. It was the first full-dive system, and with it, came endless possibilities to VRMMORPGs.
In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn’t have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality (AR) to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is “Ordinal Scale” (aka: OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma.
Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, by the time Kirito decides to join them. They’re about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn’t all fun and games…”
