The many-worlds interpretation is a lot less popular outside science fiction books. Plus Virgilia clearly stated that once you open the box you learn the truth which points to the conclusion that Ryukishi is following the copenhagen interpretation when talking about the schroedinger's cat.
Anyway... are you prepared to see the story split in two different universes with two different endings? If not even with the multi-world interpretation only one outcome will be shown.
