Lol. Also, I'd dunk om your posts. Each and every one of then, starting with...

>“Kimetsu is on Shoseki again!”
No one cares. You're bragging about a 5-year-old dead manga showing up in the hundreds on a sales chart because a new movie is about to release. That's not franchise strength, that's flash reactivation. It's what happens when a dormant IP gets jolted back to life only when it has something new to sell. Meanwhile, stuff like One Piece, JJK, and Chainsaw Man hit Top 10s on Shoseki without a movie, without freebie theater giveaways, and without fanboys screaming at clouds on 4chan. Also, One Piece literally moves entire reprint runs when it breathes and you're here bragging about Volume 17 hitting rank 327. Lmao. It-s a wrap.

>"Demon Slayer's getting 39 screenings a day! That’s historic!!"
No, that's padding. That's Toho shoving as many shows into the schedule as they can before Jurassic World knees this movie in the teeth by Week 3. You don’t overbook if you have legs. You overbook when you know front-loading is all you've got.

Also, thanks for confirming my point: Superman and Demon Slayer have the SAME Toho spread, in other words, Toho aren't playing favorites with Demon Slayer. The only reason Infinity Castle's screenings seem excessive is because:
>it's releasing on a Friday with no direct competition
>it's getting limited premium showings before Jurassic World shows up to devour them
>it's 2h35m long so it physically can't be overplayed past Week 2 and 2h35m still means lesser showings per day and lesser revenue potential, a 2h35m movie with trailers = ~3h+ screen occupancy that's basic theater math
And of course, Toho needs to milk those freebies for all they're worth. This is not another "Mugen Train historic moment." It's a desperation blitz.

Man oh man. This year keeps getting better and better. I was right about all of my box office predictions thus far, I was right about Trump winning and I'd be right too about Infinity Castle not even touching Mugen Train. My predictions landed HARDER than Tanjiro getting dropped into a real blockbuster market.
>"Demon Slayer can't replicate Mugen Train success."
CONFIRMED. Even its own fans admit that ¥40B is a dream. Most are now clinging to ¥15-20B as the "save face" range, which is half of what Mugen Train pulled during a pandemic boost. It's sliding from cultural juggernaut to just another seasonal anime event.
>"Franchise fatigue is setting in."
CONFIRMED. The giveaways are at MHA levels of desperation now, and the trailer views (lol @ 11M in 7 months vs Mugen's 40M) scream that mainstream casuals aren't showing up anymore. It's now just running on the fumes of hardcore local fans.
>"International appeal is evaporating."
CONFIRMED. Swordsmith Village flopped hard globally, and there's no strong evidence Infinity Castle will reverse that. Mugen Train was a one-time anomaly. Outside of Japan, Demon Slayer is no longer an event, it's content filler at best.
>"Hollywood IPs (Superman/Fantastic Four) would undercut its box office footprint."
CONFIRMED. Superman literally came in swinging, taking premium screens, dominating LATAM and Europe, and now heading toward a $600-750M run with no Japan reliance. Meanwhile, Demon Slayer is praying for $45M break-even with 5 million handouts.
>"Jurassic World will be the real threat in Japan."
It’s not even out yet, and already people are discussing Demon Slayer's need to frontload and finish early. That means the box office legs won't last through Jurassic's rollout. I already predicted Demon Slayer would shift release dates or screen strategies to avoid competition and that's EXACTLY what Aniplex did.
