Nice gif (or is it pronounced as jif?) you used for KnY

So KnY's run is coming to an end huh. Time flew by. It seems like yesterday when I saw KnY's massive opening.
Can't believe it. It's been a fun ride constantly checking out this forum. I'd obviously stay, but Imma need to say Thanks Corpse, thanks everyone for everything.

Look out for me and all the newcummers as well from here on out.

I've gone almost 4 months in not updating this, so at long last, here is the updated Records list.

Note that if it achieved a new record in anything, and then did it again by beating the previous record not held by itself a second time (or more), I've noted all of them with Second Biggest/Highest, Third Biggest/Highest, etc. Because it rebroke some previous records not held by itself more than once, and took until week four of its release before it even fell to the previous record levels before itself.

All new records since the last update are in BOLD.

Weekend Share: 50.52% / Weekday Share: 49.48%

I think it's too soon to said it's no.1 as some website put The Eight Hundred number as $461M

But it'll top very soon. It has potential to be the first time since silent film era that top worldwide boxoffce film has original language not in English, but there's one problem. The Merry Widow is the top film of 1934, and it films with two version, one in English and one in French. It's an American production though.

Loved like a Flower Banquet is having a nice run at the bottom of the Top 10 charts

Also I wonder if DS can manage 3 more weeks in Top 5. Looks difficult but we can only hope.

The consistency of this film is amazing albeit there were no Hollywood films to take away its screens specially towards the end of its run.

Biggest Twenty-Eighth Weekends (1998-):

¥49,811,300 ($437,000), -18%, ¥24,568,691,400 ($232.6 million), Your Name. (2016)
¥25,934,300 ($240,000), -29%, ¥39,779,619,100 ($380.2 million), Demon Slayer: Mugen Train (2020)

And that's all again. As with last week (Week 27), Spirited Away is outside the Top 10 now and no other films come close to possibly appearing on the charts anymore from either already being out of release, or only in a few theaters where their numbers a miniscule and non-trackable (sub-¥5 million for sure).

And just like with last week (Week 27), Demon Slayer's ranking in the Top 10 (5th) is the highest known ranking at this point of release. Your Name. was 8th in its 28th weekend. It's likely that Titanic's 28th weekend ranking is either tied with Demon Slayer or higher than it, since it ranked somewhere between 2nd-5th, but the data isn't there to know with certainty.

Also, Demon Slayer will tie Your Name. for second most-consecutive weeks ever in the Top 10 with 29 weeks next week. Your Name.'s last weekend in the top 10 was week 29. And Demon Slayer's certain to have a 30th week in the Top 10 (and more), so it'll become only the second film in recorded history to achieve 30+ consecutive weeks in the Top 10 after Titanic.

Couldn't resist. (Sorry, labas) Updated the title of the International thread to reflect the new achievement!

I'll update the Daily Trackers for Demon Slayer, Detective Conan, and Rurouni Kenshin later today. Doing three films now is a little more time-consuming since I have to go back and readjust all the individual days of the past week for each of them. Not a big deal, it just takes a little time to get as accurate as possible for the weekdays.

Stop pulling his legs

First time in forever? I think you mean the first time ever.

Demon Slayer – Kimetsu No Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train has now notched an
estimated $457M worldwide.
Based on our estimates, and those of our sources, Demon Slayer has surpassed
China’s The Eight Hundred to become the No. 1 movie of 2020 worldwide, when
including its 2021 takings.

Congratulations!
For the first time in forever for a Japanese movie to achieve this.

If the past restrictions have taught us anything is that movies get good-to-great holds during them. I do not think Golden Week will be as big as previous years but it should still pull in decent numbers because its holidays outside of Tokyo and Osaka as well

I'll take this opportunity to say that the closer we get to Golden Week (starting on Thursday), the weaker the numbers will become beforehand. Numbers tend to slow before a holiday period anyway, but without Tokyo and Osaka, it'll be way more impactful.

But like you said, Sunday and Monday, while lower than normal of course, weren't too bad, and even arguably decent/good considering how much Tokyo and Osaka contribute to the box office. I'm pretty confident Golden Week will be decent.

It's going to be naturally frontloaded in the U.S. either way, so $40-45 million is thr likely range regardless. I'm sure there will be some who decide to download it off the internet, but again, getting out and returning to theaters after so long is a selling point that I don't expect to be undermined by this very much.

Expected way worse from sunday/mon holds. Not too bad. Sadly golden week business is going to be hurt but it is what it is.

Conan was probably going to match its predecessor's weekend if it wasn't for the state of emergency, though I wonder if that would've been good enough in normal conditions considering that one received expansions throughout its run while this is playing "full steam" from the start. Kenshin wasn't too bad, either.

After the $20M OW in the US and very good WOM from the audience, I thought they it would hold quite well on the following weekend, and can finish above $40M, but now? What do you think about those chance?

In Japan? No way. Piracy is almost nonexistent both due to the culture and the severe anti-piracy laws.

But if that random person out there is willing to risk up to 10-years in prison to just watch something that'll be on home video in 8 weeks, then maybe they can set an example of what not to do for future dummies. .

Though being purchased through Sony wouldn't be anyone but Sony's problem. Hard to say how Aniplex (since Sony owns them) will react, and ufotable seems too "small" to deal with a giant like Sony, but Toho and Shueisha won't take kindly to this if it does explode.

But I think this is mostly being blown out of proportion. Actually returning to the theaters is a major selling point for it outside of Japan now that their markets are opening up. Need to wait and see if the numbers in the Americas slow, since it's more or less close to wrapping up everywhere else anyway, but I'd be surprised by a noticeable drop-off.

Is PS4 leak gonna effect box office

But Gotouge is also swimming in money because of the 150 million copies of the manga

AND because of KnY, her next work would be anticipated greatly and her popularity will skyrocket from here on out.

I think Ufotable deserves to have the money too especially the amount of explosion the anime contributed to the manga. After all, Gotouge gets more royalty in print than in the anime. But, I do wish, Gotouge gets more than just a small percentage.

Shueisha, Aniplex, and Ufotable are swimming in cash now. Even though theaters received half of the earning, the trio still put in their pockets at least $223 million until this point. ROI is 3085%

Poor Gotouge, who only received ¥2 million

¥700 million ($6/7 million). ¥500 million on the production, ¥200 million on marketing costs.

Corpse, didn't you once post the budget of DEMON SLAYER?
