The JCB Consumption Now report revealed on Wednesday that consumer spending in Japanese theaters in the last half of October increased for the first time since late January.
The increase is due in large part to the opening of the Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train anime.
Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train opened on October 16.
In contrast, the first half of October registered 55.7% less spending compared to the last half of January.
