Curious how many theaters it opened in. That 36.6 million expected gross suggests that it's either planned for a pretty long run or it has a lot of theaters yet to go.

It opened in 299 theatres, a slightly-lower-than-normal amount for a wide release from Toho, but nothing unexpected. It's doubtful that it'll add more than 50 or so depending on reception. It could earn 4 billion yen as mentioned, but that depends on reception and legs. After its first weekend Mary & The Witch's Flower was expected to earn 5 billion yen after its first day in a similar article, but it's just barely earned 2.5 billion yen after 6 weekends and may not even reach 3 billion yen.

In its second day, "Fireworks" had a lower amount of tracked admissions on a site that checks 2/3rds of theatre seats sold and ranked 2nd behind another new opening film, so it doesn't look that favorable for it to hit 4 billion yen.
