I notice that Inside Out 2 is supposedly releasing on August 1st in Japan. That's a Thursday. Are they doing that to take advantage of discounted tickets that happen on the first of the month?

Maybe 

 

 

Deadpool 3 will open on Wednesday! 

[Issac Newton]

Per Fiscal Report of 11 Distributors, 2024 BO is currently behind of 2023 by 7%

 

May was quite weak... I hope we don't end up behind by the end of the year..

[Issac Newton]

Be Prepared! As Slam Dunk return to screens on August 13th !

Demon Slayer's final arc is now confirmed to be a movie trilogy.

May also a terrible month for manga market. I guess probably not a great time for jp's economy.

Not as popular as it was in 2020, but ratings are still ~2x the next closest series (Sazae-san), so I reckon it'll be fine. It's still the most popular series by a stupid amount.

 

If Conan films are doing over 10b, there should be no reason for DS' to not cross 20.

I will just wait and watch. I wonder if in near future, there are any films worthy of exceeding ¥20B or not (ofc excluding the planned trilogy of Demon Slayer)

Maybe I’m in some bias,Just saw some line research shows JJK more popular than DS in Japan during High school age kids recently,SPYxFamily more popular with teen girls in Japan.

Of course Demon Slayer still most popular one consider all age group,80 years old grandmother in Japan probably know what Demon Slayer is.

Social media researches are quite useless in this matter, JJK and SxF also put out weekly/biweekly chapters that generate quite a lot of social media discussion and drug the stats, DS is alive for 11 weeks a year and that's it.

 

On the yearly report for ratings (live+combined) JJK and SxF can't even make top5, but KnY is top1 by a huge margin, so 😛 I think the numbers speak for themselves. #2 is a fucking KnY rebroadcast lol.

 

Of course with streaming they'd probably make this chart, but the tv gap is way too big. DS also generally tops the streaming chart too.

I think Demon Slayer can definitely build up hype again, knowing that the end is coming is always a great way to get things going, even if the Manga is long done. 

[Issac Newton]

Conan will exceed ¥15B tomorrow!

 

I wonder if we can add another ¥1.0B or not (I think its possible if they do re-expansion in October)

[SchumacherFTW]

OK, so next week is the last episode of this Demon Slayer season, I'm assuming we'll get some kind of confirmation about what's next at the end of the episode or via a press release after? 

[JustLurking]

Yeah they usually announce it at the end of the episode so just stay tuned for that

[Issac Newton]

Aniplex has an announcement on 19:00 JST today

I wish each one sets a new record that would be something to follow 

[cannastop]

I don't have an exact timeline of when this happened, but I could have sworn at the beginning of this year, How Do You Live?/The Boy and the Heron was at 8.4 billion JPY. Now according to http://kogyotsushin.com/archives/alltime/ it's at 9.34 billion JPY. I guess because it stuck around without a video release for so long... and the Oscar win?
