JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW

[Issac Newton]

Also, This is Miyazaki Last Film. Hypes (if it doesn't match would be annoying) and unnecessary plot making by fans aren't necessary at all. Watch the film &enjoy the moment.

They will simultaneously release the film worldwide. Korea already confirmed for July 2023.

May be you can confirm about China too sooner or later. 

 

Marketing strategy will be in SLAM DUNK form. No World Tour like Shinkai. Low cost publicity/marketing without any complexity.

 

That planned phase are likely to get demolished like Phase I Asia / Phase II West Market &Phase III LATAM. Because recent release of SLAM DUNK in Italy has spiked piracy and Studios are highly distributed because of leaks and alerted.

 

that's crazy.

 

I mean if they don't wanna give any info before release, it's hard for them to make a deal with distributors for oversea release, right?

[JustLurking]

There is 0 chance this film will release simultaneously worldwide. The date is in a month and almost no country has even announced the film let alone dated it. Maybe in some asian countries but definitely not worldwide.

 

That said I don't see this change distribution anyway. The names that can show little or nothing and get away with it can be counted on one hand. I am not even sure this film itself can get away with it. OW will likely be subdued as a result.

 

I think this strategy can only pay off in Japan where miyazaki's name can carry through for an atleast decent OW and then WOM can do whatever else in this market. That said I do not really see any benefit other than reduced cost. Outside of jp this will need a more traditional marketing campaign.

It's obviously hard but if see SLAM DUNK case, you have obviously known that they block commercialization of products related to the movie. 

 

Distributor/Licensor/Studio can't really do anything about it. As after all those earnings are coming because of the director.

 

They want people to know about their work not by their marketing but by self-discovery. 🤷

I won't comment on this but it's a subjective matter for all films because of piracy

They are still paying for "The Wind Rises" &over long Production of this film. Studio doesn't have money "Can be" but Distributor "No". The likely scenario will be they didn't completed the film yet. 

 

If that's true I can't say further let's wait until June mid //

No money to even put out a trailer seems impossible to me. They must have had their reasons but I am not convinced.

 

Still let's see what happens. I still think the film will be great and hope it can do 15b+.

[Issac Newton]

Perhaps, everyone will come to watch because it's a "Studio Ghibli's Film" Rest is up to WOM. 

 

2023 Summer gonna be lot exciting! How Do You Live?, MI7, Kingdom III all gonna be promising run //

Doupt money is the reason. Even if this is the most expensive film Ghibli ever made (so like idk ~40-50 million $) and even if we ignore their prob quite big merch sales (for which i think Suzuki has given a 10+ billion Yen per year number years back) they still got enough cash injections in the last couple of years through putting their movies up on streaming and the couple of chinese releases that racked up what 100 million $ up till now. Its just Miyazaki reasons even down to just being contrarian

[JustLurking]

It's hard to judge because there are clearly some school shenanigans going on during the week, but mario holds look pretty good. 14b back on the menu perhaps.

With Shinkai's Review, I hope Chinese Animation "I Am What I Am" break out

Estimated at ¥10.95B until SUN

[unexpected]

It can go fast.  5 Billion Yen was expected and would have been good and 10 billion would have been an overperformance.  and now we are talking about 14Billion.

We did it!! We did it!!! Toei's "THE FIRST SLAM DUNK" crossed 10M admits!!!

 

Total Until SUN (06/04) - ¥14,436,078,140 / 10,025,548 admits (184-Days Total)
