Do we count the work behind latest Evangelion movie as high-end? Because IIRC they openly talked about using Blender in increasing amounts and sponsoring Blender foundation because of that.
I do wonder about that: it was also criticized for its jarring 3D effects (arguably, some of it due to artistic choices, but clearly not all of it), to the point where it was hot-fixed while it was still shown in theaters. So it might not be the advertising you might want for Blender.
But it might also be the consequence of its flawed production process.
