Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle isn't messing around in its early Japanese release, breaking several records on the way to an opening weekend that suggests Mugen Train's standing as anime's highest-grossing movie could be in serious peril.
The movie, an adaptation of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle arc from Koyoharu Gotouge's manga, now holds the record for highest opening day in Japanese history (1.64 billion yen/$11.11 million), the best single box office day on its third day (2 billion yen/$13 million), and the best opening weekend performance by a single film in Japan, both across three days ($37 million) and four days ($49 million).
