| Even JJK had more promotion, more theater seats, no covid restrictions, but still wasn't able to beat Demon slayer movie. We cannot even hope for Aot to even reach JJK's box office level. ZXEAN said: deg said: It doesn't matter actually despite India being the biggest market for Bollywood the highest grossing Bollywood film is Dangal which earned 70% of it's profit from China.lol Demon Slayer is more popular in Japan than Attack on Titan and Japan is still the biggest market for Anime What you are saying is facts. But your examples aren't good to support your argument at all. If only you gave examples when Japanese Movies made more profits outisde of Japan than Japan itself, then your argument could've been stronger. |

| Absolutely not like the fact there were enough delusional people voting yes honestly baffles me. I guess most action shonen fanboys in large just tend to take illogical positions or get upset when they realize something they like isn't as popular.

JJK is right now more popular Japan but with international viewers maybe they could make up numbers (though AOT is banned in markets like China). International movie viewership though is not going to be enough to make up to DS a $500 million gross film and the highest grossing anime film of all time.

| I doubt it, you'd need to understand 5 seasons worth of content to get the movie while Demon Slayer only has 1, plus I heard Mugen Train was pretty separated from the original season and some people who haven't seen the original could still enjoy it, but that wouldn't apply to AOT. |

AunixHOT said: Every AOT episode usually crashes crunchyroll and funimation for HOURS, and millions of tweets talking about a new episode. Really just goes to show how insanely popular aot is outside of japan, i don’t think any other anime manage to do this constantly. The fact one poorly managed English streaming site goes down again is not indicative of what it would sell in theatres. This is like relying on social media impressions as a basis to how successful an influencer will be in actually selling products. It's very very popular but Demon Slayer was unheard of in Japan where the industry still makes most of it's money by individual countries. They are the ones that usually turn out to watch anime films not us. Streaming fans aren't also people likely to necessarily sit down in a theatre either. A film would probably do very well but again it is hard for even IPs like DB to hit 100-120 million forget make $500 million. The international anime market is not close to even big enough to ensure AOT can make a box office comparable. It would have to be as big as a lot of big Illumination family films like Despicable Me which are beloved by most normies and marketing/merch giants (what you would be gunning for to beat out DS). Broly only made $90 million internationally so to even get close you better hope AOT is like 4x popular than Dragon Ball (only one of the most popular non Pokemon IPs in this industry) and then hope it does incredibly well in Japan to even make this a question. |

Edit 2: Using Parrot numbers also assumes too that streaming fans in the States or internationally would turn out to the theatres. Yeah and you still keep pulling it easily will beat out an unprecedented $500 million dollar film. Even if the MHA films were canon it's still not going to get anywhere close to Demon Slayer and it wasn't that far off those Parrot analytics you like (for that one week). You can claim it's something special personally I think LOTGH is vastly better than most of the stuff in this industry including Demon Slayer and AOT by far doesn't mean it will ever compare to those titles in terms of popularity. It doesn't matter if it's an end of a franchise that actually can be a harder sell since lots of normies who didn't know much about Super came out to watch it. An AOT final film would require having seen the show. Those fans would have to come out to theatres too instead of just waiting to watch it streamed. I mean the only reason Demon Slayer really broke the records it did was because of Japan (if it did rely on international numbers still would be one of the most profitable anime films of all time) and pretty much any other anime film that isn't DB, Ghilbi or Pokemon relies on Japan. If you think Attack on Titan is going to be a bigger international film than other big anime international films like Pokemon or DB be my guest I hope it does get a film truly so we can come back here to see who was truly right because I would honestly wager on this. |

Austin_Beale said: AunixHOT said: Not yet anyway. Demon Slayer is a completely unprecedented cultural phenomenon in Japan. It sold more copies in 2020 than any manga has ever sold in a single year by a huge margin. You can add together One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach’s sales in each of their best years and it would total about half of what Demon Slayer sold in 2020. It’s the 8th best selling manga of all time, the only one in the top 10 that started in the 21st century, and the shortest of the top 10 by quite a bit, meaning each individual volume of Demon Slayer has sold more than each volume of every other series in the top 10, including One Piece. Do I think it deserves all this success? No, while the anime’s production values make it worthy of the hype it gets, the manga’s nothing special. But it’s just a fact that it’s so popular now that Attack on Titan has no chance of beating it (by the way, AoT is the 15th best selling manga, with average sales of 2.94 million per volume compared to Demon Slayer’s 6.52)Considering they made actual statues of mikasa, eren and armin in japan i would think that its super popular. I dont think there are any demon slayer statues. bro KnY is nothing special? come on btw dont compare trash of titans with masterpiece |
| If it does a movie, you would be lucky if its sales reach 20% of the KnY movie. |
 |
| Aot reached its peak long ago. So I doubt it. |
| In Japan? No Worldwide?yes |
 |
| Beat it in terms of what? Revenue? |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| 100% No. Anime movies make most of their money domestically i.e Japan. Most of Mugen Train's revenue was taken from Japan, where it's a cultural phenom. Attack on Titan just doesn't carry that same sort of gravitas in Asia. However, I could see it topping Mugen Train's income from territories like the US and Europe where it's still a more popular, well-known series. As an aside, the posters on here that claimed that Attack on Titan was only the most popular show in the US eary last year because nothing else was on : WandaVision was also airing. |

| I highly doubt it, but hey, the possibility are not zero. Back then in 2020, No one expected Mugen train to reach $500 million. And if you said mugen train would beat 'Your name' you'll be labelled as a delusional and a crazy person. |
 |
| I dont think so. Kny earned over 500m dollars at the box office. That is no joke at all. Recently Jjk was released with a lot more promotion and screenings and it is having difficulty even earning half the sum of kny in japan. Internationally yes it is a lot more hyped because but its is hard to predict whether it will surpass Kny or not. One thing is for sure that if Kny had released internationally without covid restriction, I assume that it would earned at least 50 to 100 million more and also the fact that it was not released in china. I guess another 50 or 100 million could have been expected from china alone. Aot wont be released in china and It would certainly be difficult for it to surpass its box office total internationally but I am not going to rule out possibility. But in Japan alone, Its a big NO. Nothing can surpass Kny's total unless they ufotable release another movie of kny. |

AunixHOT said: The Statues were made in isayama's hometown to honor his great work. Attack on Titan is for sure very much popular in Japan. But Demon Slayer in reality is super duper popular, it's popularity spreaded like an atom bomb's explosion!! Last time, the only series became this much popular in Japan was One Piece. A japanese survey showed, almost 95% of Japan's population heard about Demon Slayer!! Demon Slayer is a nationwide popular series, you can't determine it's popularity by some statues & it's relatively a new series to even do that!! What Demon Slayer did was a rare feat, it's unimaginable for any movie to break that record considering japanese box office. Even if it's possible only a Ghibli movie or next Demon slayer movie has the power to beat it!!Peeti said: Considering they made actual statues of mikasa, eren and armin in japan i would think that its super popular. I dont think there are any demon slayer statues.Aot is popular, not super popular. But if you consider international gross AOT can beat mugen train for sure. |
 |
| Nah since the ending is going to be hot garbage |
| not in japan. in the rest of the world the Aot movie would be on the same level as Princess Mononoke or Chihiro. |
| I would say no, an AoT movie wont surpass mugen train. But that's not an opinion based on their qualities as series , but of their genre and their target audience. The mugen train movie might be rated R for western audiences, but demon slayer itself is shonen. AoT on the other hand is "mature-only" on it's basis and it's also somewhat political (at least from a certain point) which is a no-no for some people. |
| In japan no But worldwide yes |
| Hmmm |
| Only if it gets worldwide releasein cinemas. AoT isn't the biggest anime/manga in japan, but it is in the world at the moment. |
| Lmao, it probably wouldn't cross 2 bn yen in the Japanese Market. Keep dreaming of beating Mugen Train kids. |

| Attack on Titan is more popular in West than Japan. Sure it is popular but Demon Slayer has different level of popularity there. Half of merch stores is just Demon Slayer merch. Demon Slayer is also more popular than AoT in West aswell. |

| No, the money all came from women for Mugen Train. AOT is a bro thing, bro's have stuff to do. They're not going to the movies all day. |
| There is not even a shred of chance that an Attack on titan movie can top what Demon slayer's movie earned. 1. It's not as popular as demon slayer 2. it's not for children 3.

Demon Slayer doesn't contain and the most gore you have in it is cut off limbs at max. while in attack on titan people get their inner organs blown out ordinarily. Children under 12 watching demon slayer is like 20% of the community. Attack on titan is definitely targeted to a much older audience than Demon Slayer. |
|
| like someone else said. domestically no. worldwide definitely |
| Never. Because DS is something biggest popular anime/manga in Japan while AOT is not even that close, so ofc nope. |
| In Japan, no. Outside of it, absolutely. |
 |
| Highly doubt it. Not even in terms of ratings or reviews anywhere because unlike mugen train which is atleast half-decent, the aot ending actually sucked. |
| Top 10. The records kimetsu set probably won't be beat in a long time |
 |
| Crazy how hard it is for people to look at this realistically lol |
 |
| if Aot were to have a movie im sure id be really popular it might even beat Mugen train in box record but rating wise we all know how that's gonna play out unless they have a good original ending |
