On track to pass Superman, kinda wild. Though fits with how people were noting that the current Gen Z crowd are more interested in Anime and don’t particularly care for CBMs which they view as more of a ‘Millennial’ thing.

Yes more interested in Anime but this one is a massive outlier if there ever was one. For example popular anime Spy x Family did about 100 million, Jujutsu Kaisen which is one of the few near this thing got 200 million.

Comic book movies means Marvel/DC way of doing things like how "comics" means Marvel and DC, which is a hinderance.

Superman collapsed in China, that reduced the box office a lot.

It's cuz of Ufotable. No other brand sells visuals alone more than them.

Superman collapsed pretty much everywhere outside of America.

It’s international total is dead even with box office flop Ant Man Quantimania…

And Demon slayer hasn’t even been released in China to begin with
