"Newest 'Demon Slayer' Film Claims 2nd Position as Top Earner in Japan's Box Office"
The latest installment of the popular Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime franchise, titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle, has made a strong debut in North America. The movie, which hit theatres on an unspecified Friday, has earned an impressive 70.6 million dollars in its opening weekend, setting a new record for the highest grossing opening weekend for a Japanese anime in the region.
However, the movie's performance in North America pales in comparison to its success in Japan. In the Land of the Rising Sun, the movie has already earned 33.05 billion yen in box-office revenue in the first 60 days of its release, making it the second-highest grossing anime film in Japan, surpassing the classic Spirited Away (2001) which earned 31.68 million yen.
The Demon Slayer franchise, set in Japan, tells the story of a boy who loses his family to demons and subsequently takes up the mantle of a Demon Slayer to fight against these supernatural beings. The latest movie, directed by Haruo Sotozaki and Hikaru Kondô, is part of a trilogy and, as yet, the plot and characters remain undisclosed.
Unfortunately, the distributor for the movie in North America remains unspecified, and no information about its release date or theatres has been provided. It is also worth noting that the movie has not received any awards or recognition as of yet.
The franchise's previous film, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, released in 2020, remains the highest-grossing anime film in Japan with a box-office revenue of 40.75 billion yen.
The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime series has gained a massive following worldwide, with its captivating storyline and stunning animation. The latest movie's success in North America is a testament to the franchise's enduring popularity.
As we wait for more information about the movie's release in North America, fans of the franchise can look forward to an exciting continuation of the Demon Slayer saga.
