Since\u00a0landing in Japan with a record-breaking $44 million<\/a>\u00a0debut, Demon Slayer The Movie<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0Mugen Train <\/em>has continued to enjoy box office success. Now, Demon Slayer The Movie<\/em> has\u00a0surpassed the\u00a020.3 billion yen\u00a0total intake of\u00a0Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone<\/em>\u00a0to become the fifth-highest grossing film of all time in Japan.<\/p>\n

Based on the 2019 anime series of the same name, Demon Slayer The Movie\u00a0<\/em>followed its successful premiere by adding 3.135 billion yen to its total gross<\/a> by the end of its second weekend of release. With this achievement alone, the anime film set new records for\u00a0the best weekend, the second-best weekend, and the best second weekend in Japanese box office history.<\/p>\n

Mantan Web now reports Demon Slayer: The Movi<\/em>e has earned\u00a0more than 20.4 billion yen (US$197 million)\u00a0from over\u00a015 million tickets as of\u00a0November 8th. In\u00a0addition\u00a0to claiming the title of fifth highest-grossing film in Japan from the first Harry Potter<\/em> film, Demon Slayer<\/em>\u00a0now ranks\u00a0as\u00a0the third highest-earning anime film of all time in the country as well, besting Hayao Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle<\/em> and Princess Mononoke<\/em>. At this time, the anime film only trails Your Name<\/em>, Disney’s Frozen<\/em>, James Cameron’s Titanic<\/em><\/a>, and Miyazaki’s Spirited Away<\/em> in Japan. In terms of ticket sales, Demon Slayer<\/em> has surpassed or at least equaled the total earned by\u00a0Howl’s Moving Castle.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

With little to no competition being released in Japan during the coming weeks, Demon Slayer<\/em> reportedly has the potential to dethrone Spirited Away<\/em>‘s\u00a030.8 billion yen total<\/a> and become the country’s highest-grossing film of all-time.\u00a0Internationally, the anime film is already playing in Taiwan theaters and is currently scheduled to be released in\u00a0the United States\u00a0in 2021. Funimation and Aniplex of America have partnered to handle distribution in North America.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0box office success of Demon Slayer The Movie<\/em> may be record-breaking, but\u00a0might not have been entirely unexpected. Before Demon Slayer<\/em> premiered,\u00a0TOHO announced it would lift the capacity restrictions on its theaters for the film’s opening weekend in order to meet the high demand for tickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How the film fares in North America may be a different story considering the dire state of movie theaters in the United States. The head of The National Association of Theater Owners recently\u00a0warned that cinemas will go bankrupt without a financial relief package<\/a> from the United States Congress.<\/p>\n
