What Pandemic? Japanese Film Draws a Record Flood of Moviegoers
The huge haul for “Demon Slayer” showed how audiences can quickly return in countries where they feel safe to head to theaters.
TOKYO ? In the United States, movies are being shown to seas of empty seats, if theaters are opening at all.
But in Japan, an animated film just had the biggest box office weekend in the country’s history ? by far.
The movie, “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train,” based on a smash-hit Japanese comic book, had been hotly anticipated
for months by both fans and an industry desperate to get moviegoers back in front of big screens amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The film outperformed all expectations, more than doubling the country’s record for the largest opening weekend,
with over 3.4 million people shelling out nearly $44 million on tickets. In what may be a first for Japan, the movie had
the biggest opening in the world last weekend ? more than all other countries combined ? despite having debuted only domestically.
There isn’t much competition right now, as one Hollywood studio after another has pushed back big-budget releases.
The magnitude of the film’s success would have been an outlier even under normal circumstances, but it has special
significance during the pandemic, showing how rapidly audiences may return once they feel safe spending hours sitting among strangers in crowded spaces.
Japan has kept coronavirus cases and deaths low, with a relatively light touch that relies on contact tracing and appeals
to a national sense of social responsibility. While infections are soaring again in much of the West, the daily number of new cases
in Japan has stayed below 800 since the end of August, and in Tokyo, daily life, at least on the surface, has mostly returned to normal.
For many who saw “Demon Slayer” over the weekend, it was their first time returning to the theater since April, when the government
declared a brief national emergency over concerns about rising cases of the virus. For the country’s top politicians,
the startling box office numbers were a barometer for Japan’s weathering of the pandemic and its efforts to restart the economy.

It was the rare cartoon that received an enthusiastic review from not one but two Japanese cabinet ministers.
The top government spokesman, Katsunobu Kato, told reporters that the movie had made an “extremely
large contribution to the film industry.” And on Twitter, Yasutoshi Nishimura, who heads the country’
s economic revitalization efforts, called it “a spectacular achievement for the worlds of culture and entertainment as they struggle with the coronavirus.”
The story, set in early 20th-century Japan, follows a young man who joins a group of warriors committed
to wiping out demons that killed his family and cursed his sister.
The comic book, or manga, on which the movie is based is part of a 22-volume series that has become
a national phenomenon. In the four years since its launch, it has sold over 100 million copies, making it one of the most successful manga of all time.
The comics have been turned into a popular anime series that has found fans worldwide, and “Demon Slayer”
characters decorate everything from rice balls to train livery in Japan.
“This particular title cuts across generations. Even people over 40, over 50, really like ‘Demon Slayer,’”
said Roland Kelts, a visiting professor of media studies at Waseda University in Tokyo and the author of the book “Japanamerica.”
The series is “quite sentimental, but it’s well done,” he said, adding that it had “been very clever about building an audience and sustaining it” through online streaming services.
“Demon Slayer” has found plenty of space on Japan’s theater screens. The only major foreign
production playing in Japanese cinemas last weekend was “Tenet,” the Christopher Nolan film about time-traveling spies, which opened in the country in mid-September.

On Friday, the opening day for “Demon Slayer,” a theater in Tokyo’s Shinjuku neighborhood
? just steps away from the world’s busiest train station ? scheduled 42 showings, starting at 7 a.m.
and running through the early hours of the next morning. On social media, commenters joked that the show times looked more like a bus schedule than a movie listing.

実質テネット超えただけみたいなもんやろ

尾田くん、見損なったぞ

あ、一作品限定の話か
それならありえるな

そら海外は映画館やっとらんからな
一人張り切った中日が2位になったようなもんやろ

そもそも海外は映画公開してないんですが

その内ハリウッド版作りそう

日本人どれだけ金持ってるんや
ワイは別の人種なんか?

尾田くんこんなところでも発狂しとるんか

さっきニュースで「鬼滅が海外から賞賛されてる!」とかホルってたけどこういう事か

そう考えると日本の経済ヤバすぎやろ…

鬼滅>それ以外やん

何百億も金掛けて映画作っとる
人等はどう思とるんやろか

どっかの評論家が東宝やからこんなことできるんやずるい言うてたな

これコロナの感染防止はちゃんとやれてるの?と思う
そんなこと言ってられないぐらいに困ってたんやろうけど

imdbで500人くらいしか評価付けてない状態で七人の侍超えた!とか喜んでるガイジほんま草
