@Issac Newton from now till JJK movie (24/12), is there any other big release? 

Venom 2 (Dec 3), Matrix Resurrection (Dec 17), Boss Baby 2 (Dec 17). Since there are notable record from previous films so, I consider this western works as competitive particularly Matrix. I will check Remaining of the November release later and will inform if there are any big works.

 

I have checked November Release

The Mole Song: The Final (Nov 19 ) &ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5x20 FILM "Record of Memories" (Nov 26)

This feels like another Demon Slayer situation to me. In that I had no idea it existed until I popped in to this thread and saw it was about to decimate everything in its path. Then I watched the Demon Slayer show and started to get it. Don't quite get why the movie had THAT much gas in the tank though

Industry is currently projecting ¥7B OW. Looks impossible but I don't actually know it's actual holding capacity. But, being a Toho distributed Film so it will get screening hall equalling demon Slayer or more.

November (Imported):

Malignant : Nov 12

Encanto : Nov 26 (might be boycott) 

 

Disney announced 30-days limited release for Encanto, so it is likely to be boycotted by theatre chain.

 

National Holiday:

11/23: Labour Thanksgiving Day

¥7B OW?  what? DS OW was "only" ~¥4B. This thing is even more?

Yeah, it's impossible. Next week, there will be decision on number of Screening halls. Matrix Resurrection will lose lots of screening halls if it doesn't leg well.

 

Demon Slayer was 1400+ screening halls

Will the Eternals on Disney+ after 45 days or Disney will delay it?  

At 13.50 local time Sat = Fri +62%

No announcement regarding this but it's not 45 days exclusive, so will leg better than Shang Chi and will definitely rank on Eiren 2022 charts

beside the capacity problem, I know that JJK is currently very popular there but I still don't think it is more than the level of DS yet. DS basically targeted all age groups of audiences there.  

[Issac Newton]

Apart from that it's a prequel story. So, I don't know why they say. Screening halls decision should give some idea on capacity. But, Matrix seems to be problem. Unless, people drop watching Boss Baby 2 &Matrix Resurrection,  screening halls will reduce. Reducing the holding capacity. Yet, it's Winter & Japan has the more than 3700+ screening halls. So it capacity should not be a problem.

If you compare Demon Slayer and Jujutsu manga sales trends after their anime finished, you will notice they aren't even close, DS kept increasing and selling 1M+ each week for over year while JJK just kept decreasing even its last volume decreased from the previous one ( and apparently its Collab with Daido coffee which was huge success with DS, didn't actually work that well)

 

Here is the sales for the manga volume that was released before the movie for each of them after 4 weeks

 

Jujutsu Kaisen #17  1,520,532

Demon Slayer #21 1,837,089

Demon Slayer Special Edition #21 1,198,180

 

I would compare their volume 1 but JJK 1 isn't charting anymore.

 

So dunno but I feel JJK will make about 10B total with 15B being possible but not seeing bigger than that.

Manga sales &age difference keeps JJK low but for giving screening halls, Industry estimates OW numbers so that film can run in full potential. I am nagging half of Demon Slayer (¥40.4B) as finals. Recent PV response was good that has gathered ¥15M+ in all platforms. Nothing much but still wish another wonderful run in my country.

Me too but we should target  ¥15-20B first before the presale opens.

Hopefully this would help a little for the Japanese audience.
