THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS overperformed insanely with almost $7M on Thursday, surpassing BACKROOMS.
It is now on track for $30M+ over its 4-day opening weekend, the biggest domestic debut EVER for Fathom Events.
Hey guys, Kevin, CEO of GLITCH here. Been trying to figure out when and how to express this, but now I think is the right time:
To the fans - Thank you, deeply. You are the reason we got here. I know it can get noisy online sometimes, but the real-world reality is that you are some of the most genuine, kind people we have ever had the privilege of meeting. We saw every cosplay, every discussion circle, every sticker shared outside the theatres. That is what this is all about.
To every person at/with GLITCH - I never doubted you for a single second. You are all so incredibly talented, and I am so proud that the impact of your work is now being felt on a world stage.
To the industry - Animation and cinema is art. Art is human expression. Digital Circus was a deeply personal story created to express complex feelings. Please let that be the signal you take from all of this.
To everyone - Keep making things and keep sharing your work. We found all our creators through the internet.
Now, here’s Pomni with her signature dance move.
Was a great movie. The atmosphere of was set for the whole movie. Felt like a kid waiting for the next explored room. The next danger. Honestly, I'll probably watch it twice now!!!

BACKROOMS is now playing in theaters everywhere.
This is it. The FINALE to Digital Circus is coming June 19!!! And as a special surprise... the finale will be screened alongside ep 8 starting June 4th - TWO weeks early - IN US, LATIN AMERICA, JAPAN AND CANADIAN THEATRES! Tickets are available right now!
And unfortunately, we never will.
This released during the Water 7 Saga when popularity was at fever pitch in Japan but overseas popularity wasn't there yet. They weren't afraid to get experimental.
With OP's worldwide popularity level now, they wouldn't risk doing this again.
I do miss watching this show for the first time. I recall getting excited for every new episode. Especially when it left on cliff hangers 😭 the art and music were beautiful.
