went to the Japanese animation film “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To The Swordsmith Village,” the latest installment in the “Demon Slayer” film and TV franchise.
Further muddying the analysis, the two films released on different days. “The Devil’s Deal” released on Wednesday and scored a total of $3.81 million over five days. “Demon Slayer” opened on Thursday and earned $2.94 million over four days. The three new openers pushed “The First Slam Dunk,” another Japanese animation that had played since January, from second place to fourth. And they relegated previous chart-topper “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” from first to sixth. “Slam Dunk” picked up $943,000 over the weekend for cumulative of $30.5 million since Jan. 4. “Ant-Man” earned $513,000 for a cumulative of $12.3 million after three weekends.
Korean sports drama “Count” took $323,000 over the weekend, for a 12-day cumulative of $2.61 million. The crop of new release films lifted the total weekend box office by 29% over the previous session. But the $9.39 million Friday-Sunday aggregate is still a long way shy of an average weekend in the pre-COVID era.
A recent KOFIC report shows premium screens enjoyed a 170% leap in revenue in 2022, compared with 2021. Last year they accounted for 7.7% of tickets sold and 10.9% of box office by value.
