Demon Slayer is on the rise as the movie is making the rounds. The thing is we are hearing the creator is not getting a lot of profits. The film is making about 287 million with the creator of the series Koyoharu Gotouge only getting about 2 million. The reason being he up front money the author is getting supposed still only coming from the anime and manga and not the film.
“According to Japanese film insider Hotaka Sugimoto, Gotouge likely didn’t get a major upfront fee for this movie. This estimate is traditionally based on experience and name-brand recognition, but Demon Slayer is Gotogue’s first serialized work. The deal for the series’ movie was almost certainly made at the start of Demon Slayer‘s anime run, so the series had yet to explode in popularity. These facts make Sugimoto believe Gotouge is probably entitled to a pittance in light of how popular Demon Slayer has been. In fact, he suspects Gotogue made perhaps 2 million yen from the whole release which is a little more than $19,000 USD. That is the catch to licensing fees, and it just so happens Gotouge’s rookie status short changed their potential earnings.”
