Likely it will go over 2bil yen as its still making alot of money.
At this rate it'll probably reach 2.5bil+.
Well, Iook at it this way. if the film is a success in Japan and its not in the west (again), then SP and SJ have filtered out the loyal (logical) fans all for nothing with lies and deceits just to cater to the west. Their campaign to milk the west went up in smoke. At that point, they will be shooting themselves in the foot for sacrificing all the general fans that could have brought Kishi 2 million more fans at the least.
the franchise will be in SJ and SP's hand. Regardless how futile this may be, Shueisha and SJ must suck it up and roll the dice and have a novelist reboot the franchise after the Pain Arc or redo the last ten chapters of the original manga, plus more. It will not get all the fans back but its they can manage half a million if the story line is done properly.
