>s-superman bombed! it's doing poorly outside of America!!
No it isn't. In fact, picrel demolishes your own argument:
>$3.8M in Mexico on day 1 (post-Covid)
>$3.6M in the UK on day 1 (post-Covid)
>$3M in Brazil on day 1 (post-Covid)
>$1.8M in India on day 1 (post-Covid)
You realize how insane that is for a Friday international opening, right? Let's throw you under your own bus:
>Mugen Train took a month to make $3.2M in Mexico (with Covid)
>took over a month to make $1.9M in the UK (with Covid)
>took weeks to make even $2M in Brazil (with Covid)
Superman is doing that in a single day. So yeah, Demon Slayer's international "juggernaut" status was a one-time pandemic fluke. Superman's showing actual post-Covid muscle in markets where anime hype fizzled years ago.
>What a fucking dumb statement. Superman also needs the US for it to not do like shit. Bye it's aiming for 600 million TOPS which means it's going to make way less money than kimetsu, funny.
Retarded take. The US is one of many markets that support Superman. Even if the US underperformed, it would still have:
>LATAM
>Europe
>SEA
>Oceania
>South Africa
>Canada
>Middle East
You can remove Japan entirely from Superman's run and it'll still make $600M+. Now remove Japan from Demon Slayer's box office, and... Oh wait, there is no movie. It dies immediately.

That's the difference between tentpole IPs and franchise-locked domestic media. Demon Slayer is entirely propped up by local loyalty and anime event gimmicks. Superman is globally diversified.
