It was announced during the stage greeting of the film Rurouni Kenshin last September 2 that the said movie will be distributed to 64 countries worldwide.

On the first 8 days of the film's premier, it movie garnered 1.21 billion yen ($15 million USD) which lead to offers from distribution houses to carry the movie overseas. Director Otomo commented, “I knew it originally had a good theme, so I’m happy to see this outcome.”
