Is it normal for Marvel doing this kind of special screening?

Not like that, but to promote WOM from first audience so that they can target a better opening weekend.

Good last weekend in October to close the month out on a relatively high note.  

>Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night topped the weekend box-office, delivering an impressive debut by selling 225,333 admissions over the weekend across 233 screens. This is 18% (27% in admissions) below the last SAO film back in 2017, but that's a respectable decline since series sales have also declined in recent years. And it's Aniplex's 7th biggest opening, too. A total is hard to project here since it could be very frontloaded, but sometimes there are special events and such that propel fan-driven films such as this, so it could have a normal sort of run. I'd say expect a finish between ¥1.5-2.0 billion ($13-18 million), but we'll have to wait a few weeks to see what happens here.  

>And, the Baton Was Passed opened in second place, selling 117,000 admissions over the weekend frame on 343 screens, and sold 161,667 admissions over its first three-days in release. Nothing amazing here, but still a respectable showing for a regular film in the off-season box-office months. It'll probably miss the ¥1 billion ($9/10 million) milestone, but this opening is good enough that it has a chance.

>I Don't Have Any Money Left in My Retirement Account! debuted in third place in revenue, but second place in admissions, selling 120,020 admissions over the weekend on 335 screens. Similar to Baton, nothing to write home about, but decent enough for the time of year. And similarly, it probably won't hit ¥1 billion ($9/10 million), but its opening still gives it a bit of a shot.

>No Time to Die slips to 5th place in its fifth-weekend, but did deliver its best hold so far. It surpassed Casino Royale over the weekend to become Craig's third highest grossing James Bond film. It doesn't have enough in the tank to approach Skyfall or Spectre, but it does look to finish above ¥2.5 billion ($22/23 million) at least, which is good. Its five-week admissions are up to 1,576,105.

>Masquerade Night broke ¥3.5 billion on Monday, and after the weekend, its six-week admissions exceeded 2.54 million. It'll surpass F9: The Fast Saga in a couple weeks to become the 8th highest grossing film of 2021. 

>And lastly, Poupelle of Chimney Town received an expansion to 38 theaters, resulting in it rising from an unknown position (surely WAY down there, perhaps like...50th or lower) back into the Top 12 in its 45th week of release. Since its new total was reported by bunkatsushin this week from between 12/25-10/31, that means that somewhere it was still playing because films that get re-released (after leaving theaters) don't have their totals updated--the re-release is counted separately.

Do you know why Superheo movies don't do much money in Japan? People there don't like move with much action and fun and joke (typical marvel movies) ? and prefer drama, emotion, great visual movie?

Superhero are neither sci-fi or realistic. Popularity of Cast &Director are other factors. Japan is like a Disneyland for anime film, live action, also biopic and well-known director's work like James Cameron has received great success. If you talk about Marvel, fans just drive the work, no local anticipation. Spiderman is exception here because it's unique and storyline are realistic. Also, Tobey is very much liked by Audience here. If Marvel want any film to reach $100M here, then either film must be animated or plot should be like a sci-fi equalling Star Wars. Other than that directors &cast should participate in promoting the works. (I will update the Marvel Franchise at night for works passing ¥1B /$8.8M)

[Issac Newton]

Moreover ¥5B is a ceiling to Marvel/DC. Only Endgame manage to passed with ¥6.2B.

Eternals seems to be the most sci fi related movie of Marvel, because it mentions about the history lore, the celestials,.... the mythology scale seems to be big.

I can not anticipate much but it should try ¥1.5B-¥2B finals. Depending on the OW, we can know it's finals

Yen is deprecating. Best was October 2012 : ¥72 = $1. This Year's low : ¥102 (Jan 2021) &High : ¥115 (Oct 2021)
