How can they fit all the rest stuffs in the manga into movie tho.....
I wish they could do season 2, 3 and maybe 2 more movies.

They are around 135 chapters left...
And one movie can have 10-12 chapters at most I think

But the main problem is that some big arc can include 20-30 chapters....... and should not be splited into 2 movies.

Yeah I rather have some anime and some movies instead of producing all volumes in movies. I do not think that movie route will be as successful without the anime, eventually the demand will die down for this and you'll have to wait another 5-6 years (most likely more) finish this small series.

It has surpassed Howl's Moving Castle now in admissions after just 25-days. And in admissions, next up is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (16.2 million) and Titanic (16.83 million). It'll surpass Harry Potter on Friday, most likely, and then it'll surpass Titanic over the weekend.

If DS has a 60-70% drop, it should collect around $ 3.5M- $ 4.7M, but personally I am probably expecting a bigger drop, what is normally sure is that he will exceed $ 200M tomorrow in Japan

Tuesday perhaps ¥225mn or something.

Wow, a 82% drop, I didn't expect so much

Yeah, Tuesday will be lower than Monday. That's just how the weekdays work.

But It'll still be bigger than any first Tuesday in recent years. We're basically still discussing weekdays that arw bigger in their fourth week than the first week of nearly everything even with the expected drops from a holiday. The drops from Wednesday on will be comparable.

It just needs to match Frozen II now to reach #1 all time and it just crushed it on Monday by over 40%, so the Monday-Friday frame will likely end up about that much higher versus Frozen II's first week. It's become almost impossible not to beat Spirited Away now.

1st Tues was down 27% from Mon with more spillover than other Tuesdays. 2nd was down 34% from Mon. I would consider 225 quite good and anything above 200 still solid.

Can someone explain me what is usual locations ? I don't quite understand what it is because for example this Monday Demon Slayer achieved 148k admissions, but in the end, Corpse announces 215k admissions, are these 67k admissions the ones that are not counted because they are in the countryside or in places where admissions are not counted day after day ?

Corpse, Knowing that Demon Slayer normally crossed the $ 200M mark this Tuesday, could you rank the films that have reached this milestone as quickly as possible? (Or maybe it's unnecessary because the ranking will be very similar to the ¥ 20 billion step)

Not the Mother of God hold but still a great number.

Usual locations = the site I messaged you about. They account for ~70% of the entire market, largely theaters located in the urban prefectures. The unaccounted locations are mostly in the rural prefectures.

It's pretty similar to the ¥20 billion one I'd expect, but I can try to post it if you want.

Well I was expecting a tuesday like ¥180/190M, so anything over ¥200M I'll take it.

So with a ¥290 monday and ¥200 tuesday, weekdays could be between ¥1.1/1.2 billion right?

It's still Mother of God, honestly. I continue to preach perspective here, and will keep doing so.

That Tuesday projection there, its fourth Tuesday..., would be higher than over 50% higher than the FIRST Tuesday of the biggest films in several years (except one, where it'd be like 20/25% higher). I really don't even know what film would have had a first Tuesday (non-holiday) that would be bigger unless it was a big summer release from way back like The Wind Rises (2013) or HP8 (2011) or something before 2010, like Ponyo (2008), HP5 (2007) or Pirates 3 (2007).

I have a list coming up soon comparing Demon Slayer's FOURTH week dailies to the first week dailies of the biggest films in recent years, and one's that it only has to match in order to surpass Spirited Away. Hint: It crushed all of them on Monday.

So no one (including me!) has to go back and reference this week's (fourth week, gonna keep reminding people of this) weekdays, here are how the biggest films of the past three years performed in their FIRST week. Note: Demon Slayer just has to match any of them, not even beat them, to continue its course of beating Spirited Away:

Iirc F2 was very ordinary during weekdays, and weekends were crazy good. I won't really compare F2 daily, may be Week will be better comp.

F2 first week was ¥2.57bn approx as compared to ¥2.9-3bn I expect Demon Slayer's 4th will be. Will post a showdown today of two.

Frozen II did have average/poor weekdays because Disney released it in the off-season in the market (risky for a family-driven film), 5 weeks out from any holiday period. Its weekends were good/great for the most part, but they didn't really make up for all the money lost on the weekdays. Weekday earnings are just as important as weekends in the market, accounting for 40/45% of a film's total in most cases.

Of course, good thing Disney didn't wait to release it in the Spring like the original Frozen (and most of their November releases in the States and elsewhere) because they would have delayed it and lost out on Japan's significant portion of its revenue. Really makes me wonder what they would have done with it if they had it scheduled in March. Seems like too much money to lose to not reschedule it at some point, but they've shown no desire to release their films in the market (or anywhere) this year without a U.S. release too.

One must doubt if they knew what's gonna happen in 2020, so they stacked all their big tentpoles in 2019

As an individual number as I mentioned it's great. But as a hold I still do not think it's MOG level because then we are comparing it against itself and I felt it could have done a sub-75% hold or maybe with actuals next week it might do

Pretty sure it's because of the Fox buyout that they needed money to keep themselves afloat and finance tons of Future projects. Disney has never been shy of spending money.

Maybe we could compare Harry Potter 2 with Demon Slayer, this one was released in November with a 1st weekend comparable to the 4th weekend of Demon Slayer (around $ 17M) and a second weekend probably close to the 5th weekend of Demon Slayer (around $ 11M)

On top of that during his first week (excluding weekends) he made $ 10M, that's about what Demon Slayer will do during his 4th week, the only problem is that Box Office Mojo does not indicate how it worked during festive periods

It seems to me that this could be an interesting comparison, but after I do not know what you think, it is true that we are talking about a film released 18 years ago

Disney REALLY lucked out. Most convenient stacking of the schedule ever.

Corpse, can you update your predictions ?

The day by day weekly projections? Sure. I'll post them tomorrow.
