BTW, here's a reality check that absolutely demolishes the "Superman flopped in Japan" cope narrative, rofl. See picrel:
>July 11 Japan box office
1. Kokuho (国宝): ¥870K (~$5.4M total gross = ~$35M USD)
2. Superman: $850K on debut day
3. F1: The Movie: $220K
4. Lilo & Stitch (re-release): $120K
5. Mission Impossible (re-release): $75K
You know what that actually means, Paco? $850K opening day in Japan is extremely solid. It's less than $20K behind the #1 movie (Kokuhō), which is already in week 5 and coasting on buzz and local loyalty. Superman has just entered the market. It's brand new, Western, and not inherently built to dominate Japan.

And despite that it opened at #2, on a weekday. That number tracks very well for a ~$3M+ opening weekend, which is great by Japan's standards for foreign films, especially live-action superhero ones. "Lukewarm reviews" don't even matter at this point, it's still eating market share on day one. And it also has a perfect runtime of 2h10m, which makes it far more rewatch friendly and it gets more showings per day unlike Infinity Castle. Everytime people go and rewatch Superman, that's money not going to Demon Slayer.
