How big do we expect -0 to be? Shin was pretty huge, right?

Expecting ¥4.0B+. Hard to project any forecast so I am waiting for PS to start!

Elemental - 1 November (Disney+)

 

¥2.67B / 2.1M admits till date!

huh... I didn't realize they kept Elemental off the Japanese Disney plus.

So it IS possible to do region specific releases.
