>No Jeremy, I said by obon, next week.
Eat your words up, and shut the fuck, Jeremy Clover. Lmao.
>Moving the goalposts from your initial prediction of 18-20 billion
Nope.
>Early projection?
¥15-20B ceiling (with international ~$200M). Later adjusted based on actuals, staying within ¥20B upper max while clearly stating that above that requires miracle-tier legs. I also put constant emphasis on:
>Frontload
>Saturation
>General public drop-off
>Long runtime limiting daily show count
>Not repeating Mugen Train
Which is, by the way, how real analysts operate: updating forecasts as data rolls in. What you're trying to do is trap me in a time capsule prediction while you wildly flail from:
>I-It's doing ¥40B! (Kek)
>O-Okay maybe ¥30B... (Double Kek)
>W-Well ¥20B is still great!!” (Triple Kek)
>Y-You moved goalposts!! (Quadruple Kek)
But what I actually did was:
>Start with probability ranges
>Update based on numbers
>Stick to trend-driven forecasting
That's not goalpost moving. That’s called not being a dumbass which you clearly fail at doing.

Also, here's another reality check: It made ¥17.5B after two full weeks. Second weekend already showing clear slowing, just like I said. ¥18B this weekend is fine, but that doesn't align with the "it’ll steamroll to 40B+" narrative you and other fans pushed. It's a hit, but not an unstoppable cultural juggernaut it once was in 2020. The legs are good by regular anime standards, but mid if you're expecting a second coming of Mugen Train. And that's my whole point. You're not mad because I was wrong, you're just mad because I nailed it before the movie came out.
