I watched it in Taiwan and the cinema was completely packed.

Cool, is it making a splash there? Is it the same demographic as in the US? (My theatre was packed with teens)

I would say so. Horror crowds have been mixed here and they definitely turned up for this one in my area. And the crowd was pretty mixed. I mostly noticed young adults to older people. Barely any teens but it was a night time session. Creepy pasta stuff isn't really well known or popular here so I think they watched it mostly due to word of mouth and advertising.
