Well there is the amc/ gamestop stock crazyness going on right now as well.
Also looks like japan only dropped 40% last year over most parts of the world dropping 60 to 90% thanks to demon slayer the movie, pokemon and doreamon! Anime saves the day again in japan! Looks like the movie chains will be fine there. Also note japan is not as in to digital movies as much also! They still have video stores that rent movies, music cds and mangas (yes rent mangas!) there! They do have netfilx and disney plus however.
Japan is now the 3rd biggest movie country in the world behind usa and china who passed usa.
