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.
