So foreign movies do well in the US if there's swordfighting?

>>283025510
Wait until Solo Leveling also gets a movie adaptation for its final arc. It'd be the highest grossing movie of all time. Then I'd say the same.

>>283025489 (OP)
Hollywood will stick their fingers into the pie now.

Now adjust inflation and turn that 2000 money Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon made into 2025 money and see how much it actually made

>650 million
>anime
>no china

>>283025676
>adjust inflation
No one actually does this.
There's a reason when people say
>which movie is at the top of the box office
People will just say
>Avatar
And not
>gwtw

>>283025688
Basado. Why do chinks hate anime?

>>283025596
Solo Leveling is the poster child of how completely meaningless internet popularity is. If people consume your work for free, but aren't buying anything after then all that supposed popularity didn't mean anything at the end of the day. The publisher is left wondering how they will recoup the advertising and adaptation costs.

>>283025489 (OP)
I know r/anime is absolutely fuming with the updates about KnY success lmao

>>283025740
China only admits a few foreign movies per year and UFO would need to redraw stuff to censor it.

>>283025740
The show is set in Taisho Japan, so China would be particularly against airing it I would think.

>>283025688
That $648 million is raw unadjusted grosses based on Sony's estimates (big keyword) btw. BoxOfficeMojo will adjust that number like they did with the $700 million
>>283025726
Box OfficeMojo and industry analysts like Scott Mendelson and Erik Davis regularly adjust box office for inflation. When GWTW is called the highest grossing movie of all time, it's because of inflation adjustment
>>283025782
>he talks to reply to himself

>>283025563
Crouching Tiger was released in 2000, Hollywood was ripe with welcoming asian stars and making its own martial movies with Jackie Chan, Jet LI, rather than importing stuff from China and Hong Kong, they were very successful at the time.

>>283025596
You joke but I'd be very surprised if it made more than $20m worldwide

You keep taking a mistake as adjustment (including the total gross as foreign gross and his you celebrated a 100 million loss as gospel).
>When GWTW is called the highest grossing movie of all time, it's because of inflation adjustment
... and no one calls it that because it's retarded.
Sorry J, you've made it CRYSTAL CLEAR you have zero idea of how box office works.

>>283025923
Never, I like being alive unlike yourself who's entire identity is based on (a badly written) kids show

Also, Zootopia 2 will stomp its entire NA run in one weekend and its entire worldwide total in a few weeks

>>283025688
The Numbers and Deadline are more accurate.

>>283025740
China loves anime, they are the biggest consumers of LN adaption anime, they singlehandedly keep Isekai and narou slop alive.

Kimetsu actually is released in China, heavily censored of course.

Ok? Are we going to fight for 10 million now?

>>283026080
No but Box Office Mojo has been acting up lately so I just look at the other two now. Either way, KNY won hard.

>>283025676
I kinda assumed it was inflation-adjusted already, but surprisingly not. Usually historical dollar comparisons do that.

>>283025947
It's not a mistake, you just don't understand how BoxOfficeMojo works and you can't read. What you see is the provisional total. That 648 million is not the final audited number, it's the live Comscore feed before recalibration. It's the same feed that’s known for temporarily double-counting overlapping territories and using old FX rates. Check it again after BoxOfficeMojo's audit because they always correct downward once the FX and duplicates are fixed
>>283026001
No, they're not. And you just exposed yourself to not know what you talk about. Deadline isn't a box office tracker, it's just a news outlet who publishes info based on what Sony's PR estimate they made (key word estimate)

The Numbers isn't any more right than BoxOfficeMojo. They're faster at reporting but unlike BoxOfficeMojo they don't adjust with FX and they get their reports from third party sources included plus their numbers are unadjusted. Doesn't mean they're wrong though, it just means they report the raw number but don't adjust it

There's a reason you appear every single time kimetsu is mentioned and keep ban evading.

>>283026467
Pre-sales are pretty good, so I say $100 million is feasible because anime movies are always frontloaded and makes the most of their money on opening weekend

Too bad it won't reach DS's numbers though because the CSM movie is easily better than DS and it actually feels like a movie and not just a TV season. But CSM also isn't really for kids like DS, so it's expected
>>283026519

>>283026687
Not 100 million in the US, no way it'll make that. CSM is not kiddy friendly like DS

What I meant was worldwide, I can see it make 100 million. South Korea are hyped to see it and I think they'll be the second biggest market because that Reze movie reminds me of Parasite. I can see CSM make 30 million or even 40 in the US

Gee, I wonder why there's been ZERO new kny inspired manga while there's already about 10 of them inspired by csm. Maybe because kny was hard carried by ufotable and not the source material.

Why do you keep posting these facebook images

>>283026932
It's tourist making this thread

>>283026839
CSM is easily the better movie because it's structured like a movie and has a beginning, middle and end unlike DS. The only thing DS has over CSM is it made more money and that's because it's kiddy friendly

I was actually very impressed by how much the Reze movie respects your time unlike DS. Ufotable could seriously learn that you need to cut from the source material (comics and books) for an adaptation to a movie

>>283026927
Fate wasn't carried by ufotable. If that were the case there would be many other anime reaching Demon Slayer levels of popularity

>>283027013
Reze is a small arc, Infinity Castle is part ONE retard. Mugen train is still much better.
Demon slayer is rated r too. Not kiddy friendly coomerbait is worthless

>>283027022
This level of popularity is mostly down to luck, way beyond mere effort.

>>283027022
Here's the difference between Fate and DS
Fate was an instant successful and blew up before Ufotable did Zero
DS was underperforming for 3 years then blew up thanks to Ufotable
>>283027071
That's irrelevant, because every good movie adaptation need to cut from the source material in order to work as a movie even as a trilogy. Every LOTR movie had that structure and each were standalone with a payoff, IC is just one set up after another with no clear beginning, middle and end

>>283027071
>Demon slayer is rated r
>check
>It's real
It's 12 and up in Japan, it's 10+ where I live, what the hell
It's a shounen, it's made for little boys, what's going on over there, USAbros?

>>283025489 (OP)
I have to say, the fact that Demon Slayer made this much money and americans had to do a lot of homework (3 seasons and a movie) is impressive since they complain about MCU

>>283027145

It's very impressive for an anime movie to pull these numbers but more than half of its NA earnings was also made from the opening weekend

It actually has pretty bad legs and is sustained by a very dedicated fanbase. Casual audiences never came, it's a fan-driven movie

>>283027299
i'm not the only one who thinks this. Theres alot of people who haven't start Fate BECAUSE they don't know which ones to start first.

>>283027321
>It actually has pretty bad legs and is sustained by a very dedicated fanbase.
It has the legs of similar niche genres like horror movies (see the conjuring).
Sorry J, you lost that round.

>>283027321
>more than half of its NA earnings was also made from the opening weekend
Isn't that the case for most movies?
I cannot know every stat about it, but the vast majority of movies make more than 50% of their total revenue in the opening weekend

>>283027356
I don't have to convince anyone, I can easily pull the charts and show you it has terrible legs
>-75% by week 2
>-59% by week 3
>-50% by week 4
>-36% by week 5
These are objectively terrible legs, so yeah, it's a fan-driven movie and casual audiences never came

>>283027362
Oh dear, are there really so many retards?
Imagine if they tried to get into Gundam or Tenchi Muyo, kek

>>283027369
Stick to one post, or I won't respond to your autism. Also, The Conjuring has objectively better legs

>>283027423
Meanwhile, the conjuring, a movie you admitted had good legs just to shit on kimetsu
>-69%
>-52%
>-45%
>-39%
All within margin of less than 10%, so, since this movie, as you yourself admitted, had good legs, kimetsu does too.

>>283027448
>Imagine if they tried to get into Gundam or Tenchi Muyo
Which is why they don't?
There's a reason why Seed and Gwitch are the most popular entry.

Not every dark and bloody shonen is inspired by Chainsaw Man.

>>283027152
At the time when they rated Mugen Train R I assumed it was basically automatic because of Tanjiro having to cut his own throat to escape the dreamworlds.

I've heard before that beheading is also an automatic R in any context so it's either that, or just being resistant to change the rating from what Mugen Train got because they don't want to go back and forth on single entries in a series.

>>283027484
Yeah and you're wrong. A 75% 2nd week drop means very different things depending on genre, audience, and release pattern. Horror is expected to drop 60 or 70% in 2nd week. That's the norm for Conjuring type movies. Anime movies drop hard too but the difference is they don't recover the way horror or general-audience movies do

Conjuring had a big fall, then stabilized (-45%, -39%, -25%). DS didn't, it went -75%, -59%, then hovered in steep decline.
That shape matters more than some numerical gap between weeks, so yeah, DS had terrible legs
>>283027538
Conjuring's legs were better because its audience grew beyond horror fans. Demon Slayer stayed frontloaded and died fast. It didn't grow beyond anime fans. The multiplier doesn’t lie. 2x vs 1.8x. One had reach, the other had a weekend, it may look small to you but in box office math that's actually a big deal because it means Conjuring kept playing to new audiences while DS fizzled out after its core fan rush

The fact you felt the need to use "actually" twice in that sentence, when once wasn't even necessary unless you're a teenage girl, makes it pretty clear you were overcompensating with that statement. Thus your life probably sucks

>>283028209
Not a single soul in the last 3 years I
browsed /opg/ has brought up sales whether for good or bad and when anyone does they just get ignored. This isn't /wsj/, not a single OP fan gives a shit about sales. They only care about shilling their fave character

I'd actually like to see OP sell 100,000 copies so there are fewer pajeets like yourself in the anime community

I haven't seen KnY, from what I've heard the anime got popular due to nice looking animation and lockdowns, but if even the movies do well, it seems people genuinely like the story and characters. It's not just the animation sustaining its current popularity, right?

>>283028428
it's not something you can reasonably talk about on /a/. Even on less schizo parts of the internet if you talk about shonen it's going to be a lot of middle aged console warriors

and nothing will ever surpass it now that they are going to tariff foreign movies

>>283026867
Douma's fight. It's just a powerscaling nightmare and makes no sense from that perspective, plus the asspulls from every character involved. Kokushibou's fight is the best part of the whole series. It's just Douma's fight that is pretty much the biggest blemish on an otherwise fantastic arc. Even Kaigaku's fight felt more interesting and entertaining. Is Muzan's arc really long enough to be its own movie? In retrospective thinking, it felt like that whole arc just flew by for me.

>>283028482
KnY is the only shonen series I've seen on /a/ where people take two extreme sides, either hating on it for no good reason, or glazing on it whilst thinking it is flawless. I haven't seen anyone actually say it's "okay" or somewhere in the middle. Everyone who hates it seems to think that there are no redeeming qualities about it whatsoever, and everyone who loves it seems to think that everything about it is perfect and nothing can (or should) be changed for the better. That's why it's a nightmare to talk about and why so many schizos come out. I only come to these threads for the discussions about the fights, cute girls, and shitposts because actually trying to have any meaningful discussion is impossible when the person you're talking to is going to be on one of those extreme ends.

>>283026667
>J posts obsessively down to grammar policing every time KnY comes up

No wonder his posts are more hated than another J, the second Joker movie. Which KnJ also surpassed. Some movies have a downward trajectory while the true winners like KnY go up, this is what is happening here with IC, keep being triggered with every new report at your own peril.

>>283028761
yeah there's easily still a long movie's worth of stuff with just Muzan. If you mentally break the scale down to scenes like Muzan's daily wages speech it's a lot even if they cut the epilogue.

People that don't give a shit about powerscaling autism and are just emotionally involved with the characters (i.e. 99% of people that will go see the movie) will love Doma's fight. I wish I knew how to make power scalers as embarrassed as they ought to be.

>>283027071
I still laugh at IC bein called kiddy to downplay its success, it's almost Avatar long, adapting part of a story, and has Akaza splattering a whole town with his fists and Douma being a massive creep. So it's R-rated. Plenty of Kids will watch it but that doesn't make it a movie for children. Who cares if Zootopia makes more money when it comes out, that's an actual movie you could take a toddler to,

>>283025596
lol, lmao

When are we getting BD version of the movie.. 4-5 months from now?

>>283027288
I like stack villains.

Could the Demon Slayers slay the Smile movie demon?

>>283029053
Calling IC kiddy is not downplaying when it's literally a kids movie made for 10-14 year olds even as low a 6 year olds. The length of a movie is not an indicator of its maturity when the writing itself is catered and geared towards elementary school kids and teenagers, it's only R-rated in America because Americans are still very dogmatic about animation and their conrent

DS is no more a kids movie than Zootopia or SpongeBob SquarePants is, the Japanese even market it next to Doraemon, Detective Conan and other shows catered to kids. It's a kids movie, you don't have to be ashamed of yourself for watching kids stuff

>>283029001
Cross-series powerscalers are retarded, but getting involved with powerscaling discussion confined within its respective series is fine. Powerscaling isn't the most essential thing, but it's still important to have some level of consistency for, even if it's only a background thing that only the author is aware of. Stories are built on consistency (power systems, rules, worldbuilding, lore, and so on) and powerscaling is just a part of that. I would say KnY does a mostly good job of establishing consistent powerscaling, but there are a few notable examples (namely everything involved with Douma's fight) that are an outlier and something I would consider to be a low point on that previously established consistency.

>>283029458

>>283029659
Bro, the point *completely* flew over your head. The Spongebob comparison wasn’t literal, it was contextual. But you're was too busy crying over Keanu Reeves to get that

I'm saying DS is positioned in the same commercial space as Spongebob, not that it's literally Spongebob
>family safe in Japan
>merch heavy
>marketed next to other kid friendly franchises like Doraemon and Detective Conan
>sold at McDonalds in Happy Meals
>used in train station ads and toys
Doesn't mean it can't have violent moments, it just means it's accessible and safe for kids. Japan isn't having some internal debate about whether DS is for mature adults. They know exactly what it is: a well animated, flashy, emotionally palatable kids show

I don't even know why you start bringing up a list of violent scenes. Pixar explores death, grief, and the meaning of existence all the time and they're still kids movies. Same with DS, it's made for kids and trying to dress it up as such just makes the fans look more juvenile than the series itself

Also
>>283029973
Stop talking to yourself

>Stop talking to yourself
See, mentally ill.

>>283030165
Mentally ill are those who are too ashamed to admit they watch kids stuff and enjoy it

Stop being mentally ill and believing everyone is one person.

>>283025596
solo levelings final arc is trash...

>>283030242
You watch a kids movie for 8-14 year olds and you're too ashamed of yourself to admit you watch kids stuff so you internalize and come up with weird cope like
>there's blood
>there's gore
>people die
DS is just a Japanese Pixar movie, but you're too fragile to admit what DS actually is

Also, shut up nigga you talk to yourself all the time

>>283030148
>you're was too busy crying over Keanu Reeves to get that
Without grammar policing you for this crap, since I'm not an asshole as you seem to be, I didn't even watch that movie, because I'm not a child, I was just aware of it because Spongebob is the kind of thing you know you can show to your actual children if you actually have any, rather than the movie where an effeminate demon vores a short hero woman

And don't even try to gaslight me about Japan, the OP is about KnY overperforming in the US of America, and Spongebob is 100% American, so maybe shut up about it..

>>283027288
His fight is not even that good though

>>283030333
Stones in glass houses and all that.

Funny you bring up Pixar who currently are infamous for "sanitizing" their movies and can't produce blockbusters worth a damn without relying on years old nostalgia from a decade ago. Guess what? KnY is generating its own nostalgia right now. Get with the times.

>>283025875
It was also written specifically to be marketed to Western audiences, which backfired a bit since it wasn't as popular with the Chinese.

>>283030527
Bro, you proudly say you don't watch SpongeBob because 'i'm not a child!' while defending a shounen battle series for 8-14 year olds like it's some high cinema and lose your mind over the suggestion that DS is a kids show. You're in a website dedicated to Japanese cartoons, don't pretend you're above anything

You're also *completely* unable to see the metaphor that was never about Spongebob itself, but about market positioning and tone. Work on your reading comprehension before you post
>rather than the movie where an effeminate demon vores a short hero woman
All you're doing is proving my point. You're defending a series marketed to kids, shilled next to Doraemon and Detective Conan, and you think this proves this show is not kiddy targeted?

This shit is literally the kind of sanitized shock factor content that appeals to 12 year olds who want to say they watch dark shit without actually engaging with mature storytelling
>And don't even try to gaslight me about Japan, the OP is about KnY overperforming in the US of America
OK. And you know what still matters? Understanding the source culture of the product you're caping. Anime isn't made in a vacuum. The way it's marketed, written, and targeted in Japan matters more to understand what kind of content it actually is regardless of whether it makes a pile of money in Kansas or Ohio. It's a kids franchise

>Bro, you proudly say you don't watch SpongeBob because 'i'm not a child!' while defending a shounen battle series for 8-14 year olds like it's some high cinema and lose your mind over the suggestion that DS is a kids show. You're in a website dedicated to Japanese cartoons, don't pretend you're above anything

I watched a few seconds clip of a Spongebob movie having a Keanu Reeves cameo because I follow movie news, sue me and talk to my lawyer, like Bill Murray in Ghostbusters 2 said. And Spongebob is not remotely a Japanese production and I wasn't the one to bring it up initially at all so seriously, maybe just shut the fuck up about it. Your gaslightning moving of the goalposts won't move ME.

>It's a kids franchise

OK big boy who is actually a little boy at heart, post the Bad Boys box office, a movie actually widely accepted as being a kid friendly animated movie from the west's box office, and tell me your take on that, since those western movies were also adapted from books that were available for a while just like KnY's were.

>>283030799
Dude, the whole point I made was that DS is the Japanese equivalent of sanitized cartoons like Pixar and that's fine but you need to admit it's made for kids and marketed as such
>Pixar who currently are infamous for "sanitizing" their movies
You do realize this supports my metaphor, right? You're admitting Pixar went from thoughtful storytelling like Up, Wall E, Ratatouille to factory-safe, nostalgia-reliant IP slop. That's exactly what DS is in the anime world right now
>can't produce blockbusters worth a damn without relying on years old nostalgia from a decade ago.
DS is doing the same thing now though
>riding the wave of earlier season hype
>dragging out the endgame for $$$
>pushing side characters into movies for maximum merch exposure
>turning a middle school tier story into a multi-part cinematic universe
>selling nostalgia in progress before the milk is dry
>KnY is generating its own nostalgia right now.
Bro, that's just sad. You're admitting that DS isn't great now, but might be remembered fondly later, relies on emotional memory not artistic quality and exists in the nostalgia economy, not the cinema canon

Nostalgia is what happens when your present is hollow, so you glamorize the past. If DS's best defense is 'people might remember it fondly later' then you just low key admit it's not great art now

Hollywood is going to ruin anime they will make Netflix's influence look like a joke

>>283031177
>Dude, the whole point I made was that DS is the Japanese equivalent of sanitized cartoons like Pixar

I was needed to point out the sanitization, you didn't bring it up at all in your previous posts, just umbrellaing Pixar with supposedly child friendly movies regardless of content and cultural differences, don't keep being a gaslighting asshole. If you were all about how IC was received in Japan only that might be a thing but this thread wasn't even started about that, right now you come across as you just have a bone to pick and are bitter.

>>283031109
>I watched a few seconds clip of a Spongebob movie having a Keanu Reeves cameo
The fuck are you even talking about, dude? I never accused (You) of watching the movie. I don't care if you watched it or not. The metaphor wasn't about you watching Spongebob if you could actually read, it was about how DS and Spongebob occupy similar market lanes. You still don't get that because you have fuck for all reading comprehension skills
>And Spongebob is not remotely a Japanese production and I wasn't the one to bring it up initially at all so seriously, maybe just shut the fuck up
Reading comprehension failure again. I never compared the production origin of the two. I'm compare audience targeting and tone. And you're just out here shouting irrelevant shit like a court stenographer with a head injury
>Your gaslightning moving of the goalposts won't move ME.
'Gaslightning' is not a word and 'moving the goalposts' is a desperate deflection. * never moved the goalposts, I'm saying DS is for kids the entire time which it is, it's literally a kids franchise
>post the Bad Boys box office
Nah and now you're moving the goalpost to avoid accepting you're consuming media made for kids instead of owning up to it

I'm comparing you mean, and I wasn't even the one who resurrected the grammar nazi asshole theme for this thread earlier.

>Nah and now you're moving the goalpost to avoid accepting you're consuming media made for kids instead of owning up to it

You're a full coward then, don't even try to deflect the goalpost accusation back to me because I'm not that stupid to be gaslighted like that, if you even bring up Spongebob of all things to try to downplay KnY, since Spongebob is way older as I pointed out and if you wanted to make an example of western animated movies to prove KnY isn't a hot thing right now, Bad Boys would be the thing since it's a 2 movie franchise adapted from older than KnY rearding source material.

Post it or shut the fuck up, I won't believe you from now on otherwise for being a poser.

>>283031362
>I was needed to point out the sanitization, you didn't bring it up at all in your previous posts
Yeah I did, just not with that exact word.
>emotionally palatable kids show
>sanitized shock factor content that appeals to 12 year olds
>shounen battle series for 8-14 year olds
>family safe
All of that is literally me describing sanitization. Demanding someone to use your preferred terms to accept a point is just a semantic cope
>don't keep being a gaslighting asshole.
Gaslighting is manipulating someone into doubting their own perception of reality. I explained a point more clearly than any teacher you probably had. So no, you're not being gaslit. You're just being clarified, dude
>right now you come across as you just have a bone to pick and are bitter.
Nah, I'm not bitter. Honestly, this whole talk to me is just another Tuesday that I'd forget the next day. Though, I do get annoyed by mid tier storytelling being treated like high cinema or grown adults not owning up to liking shit made for kids

Also, you refused to understand a metaphor and confused media trends with personal attacks then tried to discredit my argument by whining about word choices. Only one who sounds bitter is you, dude

>>283031824
>emotionally palatable kids show

Seriously, what's up with this MIT pretending guy?

Would they pair KnY with Spongebob?

>>283031732
Bro, you talk about grammar while making mistakes in your sentences like
>Bad Boys would be the thing since it's a 2 movie franchise adapted from older than KnY rearding source material.
Bad Boys is a live-action R rated cop franchise featuring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. This is so dumb it's honestly impressive. You were trying to reference The Bad Guys by DreamWorks and still didn't realize you're confusing an animated furry heist comedy with a Michael Bay explosionfest about cops shooting drug dealers. This is the kind of mistake that ends arguments on sight. You confused Bad Boys with The Bad Guys in a discussion about animated shit
>Post it or shut the fuck up, I won't believe you from now on otherwise for being a poser.
Nah because that's irrelevant, what's relevant is all those grown ass adults rationalizing why they consume kids media instead of just owning up to it

>>283025596
pajeet.

>>283026927
By your logic since there's no mangaka explicitly inspired by Vagabond but many LN inspired by SAO, it means SAO it's better than Vagabond.

Still waiting for that hand

>>283032408
Well, yeah
SAO is very influential and continues to be an influence while Vagabond is just an inferior adaptation to a superior written book
Art is nice though

Vagabond is an inferior adaptation to a better book carried by nice art and Inoue is like the Ufotable of manga
SAO is an inspiration and continues to inspire. It's most influential anime since DBZ

What are you going to do?

Don't just be an ignoramus about movies grammar nazi ignoring questions and moving goalposts. Now answer the damn question, second chance.

>>283026927
First of all, 'inspiration' works primarily off what people are reading when they're 14, so any KnY successors are still a long way off being serialized. Secondly, wtf can you say is directly inspired by CSM? I can't think of a mainstream mangaka that feels anything like Fujimoto, even though he's had like 5 successful assistants at this point.

>>283026927
>I wonder why there's been ZERO new kny inspired manga
Because KnY presented zero new original ideas that could possibly influence future manga. Anything you could possibly cite as KnY's "influence" is really just influenced by the older and better manga that KnY slavishly ripped off.
>while there's already about 10 of them inspired by csm
Because Fujimoto's assistants all got tired of hard carrying his talentless nepo-baby ass and went on to make their own CSMs without him.

>Powerscaling isn't the most essential thing, but it's still important to have some level of consistency for, even if it's only a background thing that only the author is aware of. Stories are
This is nonsense, the powerscaling isn't there for consistency. It's to build drama. There is no need for said consistency and it's not how anything works (e.g., In any competitive field, the top player will lose to weaker players all the time).

Powerscaling retards operate on kindergarten logic where a stronger person will always win over a weaker one, so if x beats y and y beats z it means that x will beat z (but this is literally retarded).

>>283039322

I mean do you think people from the past were not realist.
People in 2019 have have a point in thinking kny wouldn't beat OP again 2020 because manga boost often over when the anime's ended.
Broly movie is the most successful box office a shonen movie can have up until that's point.
