Chiikawa: The Movie has earned an estimated 10 billion yen (~$62m) in Japan 30 days after release

By my count Chiikawa: The Movie is now the 4th film this year to pass 10 billion yen, the others being Zootopia 2 (15 billion), Detective Conan 29: Fallen Angel of the Highway (13 billion) and Toy Story 5 (12 billion).
Very good numbers for a relatively new IP (2020) and, while its not doing Demon Slayer numbers, shows just how strong it's become as a brand in a short time. Especially if you consider how for the last few weeks it's been almost doubling Spider-Man Brand New Day's daily earnings, and while Chiikawa does have a week's advantage over Spider-Man - itself a long-standing and popular IP in Japan - it has already doubled Spider-Man BND's revenue (which should be around 4.7 billion yen).
