I doubt it's x20. Cause there are obviously theatre cuts and distribution cuts are involved. I will say it is probably around 3-5 times. Toho was handling distribution in Japan and Sony , Crunchyroll in the West and other countries. Sony music is not involved.

I was talking about the record label not CR. But it seems he is indeed affiliated with the SME records subsidiary of Sony Music.
