The Kernel take
No Metacritic score exists for The End of Evangelion — only a single critic review is on file, below Metacritic's four-review minimum to publish an aggregate. The box office figures here reflect the film's original 1997 lifetime run — a $26M worldwide gross including $1.302M domestic, on a $7.5M budget. The 30th-anniversary two-night theatrical re-release in July 2026 was a brief victory-lap engagement, not a new revenue event.
