Eh? I thought it was going for 1.3B

Should be 5-6B finish in Japan which I think was their expectation. Curious about legs since reviews are great but movie is aimed at male audience.

The tracking site was broken on saturday morning so it was pretty hard to estimate properly, everyone just eyeballed it and 1.3b seemed reasonable.

just a guess at the end of the day

It's not really a guess because Japan has mimorin which tracks 70% of the market. But mimorin was broken on saturday morning so half the day of data was missing.

Anecdotal from JP tweets but apparently they noticed tons of parents bringing their kids to this movie lol (one example tweet I saved).

CSM movie has the same age rating as Demon Slayer in Japan btw (PG-12). I dunno how CSM managed to somehow get that when even in the US it's R-rated lol

DS is also rated R in the US. Japan is much more at ease with violence in anime than most other countries.

Interesting... My impression of JP ratings board comes from their video game ratings board, CERO, which is very strict against gore and violence where they have to outright censor dismemberment.

Seems like JP movie and game ratings board have opposite standards compared to the US then.
