The hit anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has once again graced movie screens, achieving its highest-grossing feature film release to date. Recent figures from Japanese box offices suggest that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is poised to dethrone the legendary film Titanic in the region. When it first premiered this Summer, Demon Slayer quickly dominated cinema screens, earning its popularity due to being the franchise’s first major new feature film in a while. Its success has been building up even before it started its international theater run.
The opening movie in the “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” trilogy has been a massive success at Japanese box offices since its release this summer. It’s not only breaking records and achieving significant milestones within Japan, but it’s also now estimated to surpass the third highest-grossing film, “Titanic,” as the weekend comes to a close.
Demon Slayer’s New Movie Takes Over Japan
Originally, the Japanese title “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Chapter 1 Akaza’s Return” was ranked fourth, earning a total of 25.78 billion yen. Although Sony has not yet released the full weekend earnings, early predictions suggest that the film’s box office revenue now stands at approximately 27.8 billion yen, surpassing Titanic’s record of 27.77 billion yen. While it hasn’t been confirmed officially yet, this is still a significant achievement since the movie even competes with Titanic in discussions. If it manages to secure the third spot, Demon Slayer will essentially control the top three positions.
Japan’s most financially successful films include “Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train” (earning approximately 40.75 billion yen), followed by “Spirited Away” and “Titanic,” which grossed around 31.68 billion yen and 27.77 billion yen, respectively. This implies that the “Demon Slayer” films hold two spots among the top three highest-grossing movies in Japanese cinematic history. What makes this achievement even more noteworthy is that the “Demon Slayer” movie franchise consists primarily of the first film in a trilogy, focusing on the Infinity Castle arc from Koyoharu Gotoge’s original manga series. As we eagerly anticipate the completion of the trilogy, it leaves us wondering just how substantial the earnings will be upon its conclusion.
When Does Demon Slayer’s Movie Come Out in the U.S.?
This achievement is particularly noteworthy because Japan is going it alone, and the movie has been performing exceptionally well in the markets it’s already released in. Moreover, with ticket sales now available for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, it’s showing promising signs even before its U.S. premiere. Pre-sale figures have surpassed $20 million USD, hinting at a massive U.S. debut that’s fast approaching.
The anime movie titled “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” is set to premiere in the USA and Canada on September 12th. Notably, viewers will have the choice between English and Japanese audio tracks. Furthermore, the film will be available in IMAX and premium formats, breaking records as Japan’s highest-grossing IMAX movie ever. Fans should definitely stay tuned for this box office success, especially considering that updates on future films are yet to be announced.
