The general films with four quadrant audience leg long. Though I am still new to Japanese box office to give concrete answers, but screen thing certainly and aged demo most likely are the reasons.

There is a circular effect here, a culture with low frontloading do not need many screen, a culture with low screen count will not be able to be frontloaded, which come first. American giant cineplex cinema tend to not be any close to full outside some days of event movies, is that they made the market frontloaded or that is in reaction of that market direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China's population is 4 times bigger than USA, this country must be terribly freaking wrong if they somehow have a smaller 15-30 aged group smaller than US population. In term of %, both countries have similar share in term of young population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it would be relevant but (if you mean including people aged 15 and aged 30) https://www.statista.com/statistics/1101677/population-distribution-by-detailed-age-group-in-china/ (5.11% + 5.63 % + 7.49% + 0.2* 8.61% ) * 1.398 billion = about 279 millions people, which is a bit less than US population of 328 millions. 7 minutes ago, Borobudur said: this country must be terribly freaking wrong if they somehow have a smaller 15-30 aged group smaller than US population Not sure about that, if most people are between 0 and 70, 16 year's is less than a quarter of that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could that fact to do (outside that I am not sure it is true) have to do with legs multiplier (which is all relative to the OW) ?

It could be a combination of the low screen count + the fact that animated movies historically have had better legs than live actions + weeb culture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
