On the same day, exclusive distribution on Amazon Prime Video has been decided in more than 240 countries and regions including Japan.

"Shin Eva", the final work in the series, attracted a lot of attention from the first day of its release, and on July 12th, the cumulative box office revenue exceeded 10 billion yen. The cumulative box office revenue to date has exceeded 10.15 billion yen, and as of July 18, it is the most watched work released in Japan in 2021. This work is scheduled to end on July 21, except for some theaters.

Mr. Takashi Kodama, Director of Amazon Prime Video Content Business Headquarters Japan, said, "'Shin Evangelion Theatrical Version' has been a big hit in Japan, and fans all over the world are waiting for this work. I am very happy to be able to deliver 'Shin Evangelion Theatrical Version' to everyone around the world. Please enjoy all 4 works of 'Evangelion New Theatrical Version' including the previous work during summer vacation."

In addition, Hideaki Anno, who was the original drafter, scriptwriter, and general director of this work, said about the global distribution including Japan, "Thank you very much to all the overseas Eva fans for your constant support. Under the influence of COVID-19, it is difficult to provide a theatrical release, so what is the best way to deliver the work to overseas fans as soon as possible? As a result, it has become a form of global distribution on Amazon Prime Video.Because it is a video that was produced on the assumption that it will be released in theaters, on behalf of the production staff, I would like to see it on the largest screen possible. Please wait a little longer," he commented.
