if we restrict ourselves to only traditional animation
The domestic OW of Demon Slayer is hugely impressive for what it is, but as frog correctly points out it’s not even close to the success of G and PG rated animation. There isn’t much being proved here except the already well-learned (to the chagrin of many) lesson — franchise IP is king.
So, no, DS’s DOM performance hasn’t proved that a lucrative market for R action animation exists and I don’t think we’ll see an appreciable increase in them from Hollywood.
DS’s Japan performance does guarantee a large new wave of canon (rather than non canon side story) anime movies, however. Some will likely do well, Broly/MHA level numbers. There’s no second Demon slayer though, it’s franchise strength is a league of its own.

Well yeah it's fifth because it's alphabetical. And do you have a source for AoT getting more views than WandaVision?
Yeah DS is hugely popular but being 5th alphabetically doesn’t prove it
AoT>WV probably based on Parrot I suspect, don’t think Nielsen does anime unfortunately.

Unless it's Dragonball or Pokémon, no self respecting weeb will watch Dubs
Baccano is better dubbed 👀

What in the blue fuck is Demon Slayer? This might be the first time ever that a movie opened number one that I did not know of until the day it came out.
Canon anime movie and the most impressive single market performance of the century 😎

I didn’t realise industry expectations were $10-12m and $15m max so this is a win.
Doean’t really tell you anything besides “industry expectations” being unbelievably idiotic 😛

Worry about what? Seems like the first two projects have been pretty well received
Not by him 😛
Overall reception seems like mid-upper quartile for WV and mid-lower quartile for FWS. Pretty avg. Will need to see the next couple shows and films before it really makes sense to talk about the phase a whole imo, since just 2021-2022 is like 20 projects or whatever.

Random thought, are they offering both dub and sub? If some capacity is dubbed but most prefer subbed, could make effective capacity lower than it appears — possibly accounting for how the later days look better than affected via spillover.

I know some people were taking the GvK result as indicating that it would have been really huge more than market really recovering overall. And I think it would have done pretty well, but what we’re seeing here with like a 20M combined OD from lower profile movies shows that the market is coming along quite nicely imo. And we still have more regals and increased capacity over the next couple weeks - between this weekend and MDW will be held back more by lack of attractive product than by consumer hesitancy.

How are you getting 11? It's still a decent amount behind GvK's 3pm Pacific number, and while late walkups will be better without the capacity issue, I'm not sure if it has enough juice to get that high. Do you think the MTC 1/2 ratio will be that much better?
I’ll go for 10.5 but there are a lot more MTC3 now than 3 weeks ago, right?

Sure, but I feel like with Cap 4 coming (but not until 2024 most likely) the room to continue with this storyline is only a year or so, before it’s necessary to move on to the next one. I don’t think Cap 4 will have much to do with these 6 episodes, is my basic point. Yes, I expect the planted seeds will have sprouted but nothing direct from F/WS -> Cap 4.
On the other hand, most of the known films for 2021,2022,2023 don’t seem to present much opportunity to follow up on a lot of what the finale set up — and neither do the 2021 or 2022 shows. It wouldn’t be surprising to see some of this stuff take 2 to 3 years to get any movement on — Mordo will take 6 years to followup on, ditto Ayesha/Adam Warlock stuff.

They could easily go F&WS-followup show-Cap 4. Or F&WS-Cap 4-followup show.

Either way, Sam showed up in this season finale and I’m stoked Anthony is getting his shine. The only thing that sucks is this certainly kills a season 2 for the show (I would assume).

Dang Marvel must have been really happy with the numbers Falcon and Winter Soldier have been doing to greenlit a movie. I assume as well this is theatrical too.
Honestly I don’t think it’s reasonable to draw any connection there, this was probably planned well before F&WS debuted. It’s a pretty logical choice with Endgame’s ending, which they knew the broad strokes of in like, 2016, so...

Since there are no weekend threads, do we get some numbers from insiders and co here?
There are weekend threads again. Didn’t you post in the GvK one a bunch?

Cap trilogy is insanely good. Hopefully this continues that legacy.

@WandaLegion what is your prediction for BW these days?
I’m waiting on Cruella but gun to my head maybe 75->200, 750 WW

They release the Mando ep on Wed TROS week. Pretty confident that one way or another a Loki ep won’t air on July 7.

DS will still do over $5M thanks to holidays. It’s a fine result, just nothing exciting.
Boy I did not see the anti+gravity coming
DS looks quite favored to win this weekend thanks to the promotion, today has a good shot at being the highest gross day of the run.

so domestic box office is now able to accommodate a 30m opener like GvK and MK+DS. AQP2 will challenge 50m mark .
Cruella on same weekend. Should take it well above 50
-
4.5*4 or so would be a very good debut, pretty in line with more conservative expectations this week and vastly above optimistic ones from two weeks ago. MK really finishing strong. Will be a nice overall weekend for the market.

It's down about 28k tickets at MTC1 and 19k at MTC2. I expect it will gain well over 10k at each just from tomorrow's PS. Walk-ins will be much stronger as well for MK. I think it will comfortably surpass DS on Saturday as well.
Yeah the day-of sales can overwhelm even a substantial % PS lead, which DS probably won’t even have.

We haven’t had a movie underperform on OW since March 5. MDW weekend is gonna be national we-beat-covid-and-everyone’s-got-their-final-shot party time.
Disclaimer: not everyone, but everyone who urgently wanted one — which is to say, everyone whose inclination to visit a theater would be dampened by not having one yet
