2024 was so bad that Japanese are confidently pushing stuff like 'Chainsaw Man' ....I don't nkow, I think Japan has it wrong here...I can't see it selling in US cinema, the animation looks poor and the story is weird
an impoverished teenager makes a deal with a small demon dog, it fuses his body with that of a dog-like Devil, the teenagers head turns into a Chainsaw and his arms become Chainsaws, it is classed as Comedy horror, Dark fantasy. I don't see this selling so it will be a loss for the Japan studio but the fact Japan thinks it can take on Hollywood with these types of trashy gorey anime must mean they see Hollywood as very weakened now.
However it is a hit, it is one of the best-selling manga series of all time maybe for its shock value or 'Gore'? series is set in 1997, in an alternate timeline where the Soviet Union still exists and Devils or Akuma are born from human fears, the Teen with this devil chainsaw dog inside him now joins a team of governmental approved Devil Hunters, there are groups who seek to steal Denji's power, including the yakuza, the writers of the Manga comicbook and tv show were already know for hits such as 'Fire Punch' and 'Attack On Titan' and also Vinland Saga and Jujutsu Kaisen.
We know South Korean director Bong Joon-ho has come to US Cinema and is expected to do well with Mickey 17, will there be any other Korean arrivals Dark Nuns supernatural religious horror it seems to be only a local release in SKorea, so is the Korea wave over before it started?
Will Cinema in 2025 also be showing re-runs of old US movies?
However as strange as it is to think of foreign film beating Hollywood on their own turf or Japan anime outselling Hollywood, Demon Slayer was a huge hit, a Budget $15.7 million and a Box office $507.1 million. Godzillia Minus One had a Budget 10–15 million and a Box office 114-116 million

$122,200,000 Worldwide opening weekend for Mufasa.
This movie is already a loser for Disney.

You know that phrase "the house always wins", big guys like Disney and WB survive the Fed will just ask Blackrock and Vanguard to print off more tax payer money and bailout their failures.
'Sony' is outside of this gang
and the smaller studios could be losers and bankrupt if there is any economic honesty out there.

There's no more money to print out for them right now.
That's their big problem, and it's a 2-part problem.
They didn't realize that their audience was going to get picky because it had been so long since their audience didn't have money to spend on their shit.
And at the same time all the Venture Capital dried up. There's no money left to print up for them and nobody wants to give them a loan.
This goes beyond just the woke shit to pure incompetence. Stock holders and even board members want to know why Kathleen Kennedy is still running Lucasfilm. They want to know how they only released 3 movies in 2024 and the 3rd one is a major bomb which many, many others knew was going to flop when it was announced.
These are all decisions that bar you from getting loans when the money is working right.
As I said several times, I thank Joe Biden* for ending all the woke bullshit. We couldn't have done it without his idiot administration trashing everything.

Not really though.
Using the US Box Office is usually just a way for somebody to write a positive article about something they want to write a positive article about. The money is the money, and that's all they care about. That includes the international box office.
Moana 2 will be sitting very safely above $800 Million this week. It will probably see its first sub-Million day in the states this week. I do see what you're talking about with the daily totals though. M2 came out a week later and is falling sharper in the US than Wicked is.
I wonder what will happen on Christmas break when the kids are off, regarding these two movies. I can't even guess which movie will have the higher US Box office in the end. Is Moana 2 really dead or will it get a huge bump when the kids are off school?
I doubt very much Wicked could ever make enough money to offset the complete lack of interest for it outside of the US. Wicked's Domestic share is 67.1%. Moana 2's is only 45.3%.

There are reasons movie ticket sales are declining all over the world:
1) Free on TV is cheaper than buying theater tickets. Snacks are cheaper and tastier at home, too!
2) Movie theaters seating is not as comfortable, convenient and clean as your sofa and the screen on your TV is better than the one at the theater.
3) Most Hollywood movies aren’t particularly good, but that has always been true. Now that movies are free, most of the audience has no psychological need to claim a bad movie is good in order to not look foolish for buying a ticket.

This movie was already a big failure weeks before this dropped.
They may as well have left Denzel's gay kiss in it.
The movie shouldn't have even had black people in it in the first place, but why not go all out and make him gay too if your movie is going to bomb at the box office and you knew that it was going into it.
There weren't many black people there and then, but there were plenty of homosexuals.
So, hilariously ironically, in their panic-induced attempt to "de-wokify" Gladiator II in post, they've made the movie even less historically accurate than it already was going to be.
