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

[Brainbug]

How is Godzilla Minus One Japan run received there so far? As an outsider, i kind of get the feeling that its Japan run is good, but not anywhere near as exceptional than Shin Godzillas run, while Minus One has much more success overseas.

That is pretty much right. Good run, but it's no Shin Godzilla.

Unless im mistaken that would be better than all of the MonsterVerse and Millenium Era Godzilla films, while obviously not coming close to Shin Godzilla (though that movie was just a different beast). I would imagine Toho would be very satesfied with such a result.

 

I hope Minus One starts a new series of Japanese Godzilla films. Standalone movies are great, but i would really love to see where they would go from Minus One. After all, Yamazaki i belive has already said that he would like to make another one.

It is. I see no reason why Toho'd be disappointed with it. From what I know, that's the best second film result...ever...for the Japanese Godzilla series. Raids Again didn't come close to 54, Biollante was a financial disappointment, and Megaguirus was too. There's always a drop-off but for it to be much healthier like this is what Toho wanted to see, in addition to the significant increase overseas with them distributing it themselves in the US (therefore keeping more of the profit) is probably enough that they'll do Minus Two/Plus One/whatever they call it.

Yes, Indeed -1.0 really did an amazing result in Japan in Comps to other Post-CoVid-19 Live Action releases. It will easily cross "Rurouni Kenshin: The Final" (¥4.35B), "Shin Ultraman" (¥4.44B), "Tokyo Revengers" (¥4.50B), "Don't Call It Mystery" (¥4.74B) Leaving only two "Kingdom" Films - ¥5.16B &¥5.56B at the Top. (I am excluding "ARASHI" here)

 

I am not sure about Toho but the Director do wants to make another one - 「ずっとゴジラの作品を撮りたかったので、５０年来の夢がかなった瞬間。でも、寂しくて…もう一本くらい撮らしてもらえないかな」

Exchange Rates are recovering but still poor. Using Demon Slayer dollar rates, Godzilla -1.0 ~ ¥5.0B will be equivalent to $47.62M

Yeah everyone needs to remember the yen is super weak right now. If -1 can make it to 5 billion yen that’s really really good even if the conversion is only like 34m usd. 
 

If the yen wasn’t so weak this would probably end up making more than Shin Godzilla worldwide in usd. 
 

In yen what’s the total between the two Shins and Minus One at this point?

Probably going to make more in the US

[MovieMan89]

Yeah -1s performance in Japan seems incredible when you consider the weak yen and that it doesn’t have all the Japanese awards buzz Shin got. It’s not even going to end up being that much less of a hit there.
