Wrong. Toho, the biggest distributor in Japan, takes around 50%+ of the box office gross in most anime deals. Anime studios (like Ufotable) only get a slice of the profits via the production committee system. For Demon Slayer, the committee includes Aniplex (the investors), Shueisha (the IP owner), and Ufotable (the animators) and the split isn't even. Ufotable, being the animation contractor, is not the main beneficiary. That's why they have all these cafés. They make money elsewhere BUT the animation.
If you're talking about "60%" going to the Japanese side collectively (i.e. Toho + committee), you'e still wrong. The studio doesn't get 60%. The distribution chain does and it’s split between many stakeholders.
Also, calling people "mongolids" (lol) while making fantasy accounting isn't a power move, it's an IQ test you just failed.
>He doesn't realize kny made ufotable open a global web shop
No one outside of your Discord echo chamber is buying Zenitsu plushies from the Ufotable shop at scale. Yes, Ufotable opened a shop. BUT...
>Target audience?
Hardcore collectors.
>Follower count on Twitter?
~100K.
>Meaningful global revenue?
Basically nothing.
Compare that to:
>Marvel merchandise revenue in 2023 = $3.2B
>Superman merchandise revenue in 2024 alone = estimated ~$700M across toy lines, licensed clothing, and promotional deals
Even Chainsaw Man outsold Demon Slayer in international merch spikes post-episode 1. Meanwhile, Demon Slayer's global toy sales are so poor, Bandai stopped expanding the Tamagotchi and sword toy lines overseas after 2021, lol.
