Girls & Panzer: Saishuushou Part 3 is first for the week between December 20 to December 26 with copies sold at 40,588 within its first 3 days. Together with sales of its DVDs, that would be 43,273 copies sold in total. Note that Part 2 which came out last year in the month of February was 48,045 copies sold as of its 4th day, and Part 1 was certainly its best thus far to see 55,376 copies sold in just 3 days. The film is slated to receive three more sequel films with Part 4 teased back in April this year. If you missed out on the teaser, do check it out down below!
Coming right after is Love Live! Superstar!! Volume 4 at 13,087 copies sold in its first 5 days. Volume 3 noted fewer copies sold back in November, however that is due to a shorter 3 days of sales when it was charted. Volume 1, though what seemed to be its highest, is actually due to it having the longest number of days of sales so far amongst the volumes at 6 days. Copies sold for Volume 4 is a slight improvement of 0.71% over Volume 2 which had the same number of days. The series is expecting two more volumes that are releasing in January and February next year.

The Netflix series Biohazard: Infinite Darkness is at a decent 4,881 copies sold in its first 5 days, though revenue is dragged due to its low price. The third Gundam: G no Reconguista Movie is right after with 4,128 copies sold. The film was released in July this year and is the sequel film to Bellri Gekishin, which came out the year before in February. The fourth and fifth films were announced, but no news of release dates yet.
