Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train continues its steamrolling of the worldwide box office, being only the third anime film ever to break the US$40 million box office barrier, the highest-grossing film in South Korea for 2021, and even increased in its 31st weekend in theaters in Japan, with only one other film in modern records to even be on its 31st week in Japanese cinemas and stay in the top 10.
In Japan, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train increased its box office takings by 1% in its 31st weekend, making it the first film in modern records to do so, and the second film to even be in the top 10 in its 31st week, the other film being Your Name. This is despite cinemas in Tokyo remaining closed due to the State of Emergency, and closing at 8 PM in other prefectures as well as not being open on weekends. Over the last week, Demon Slayer brought in 50 million yen (US$458,372) for a total of 39.97 billion yen (US$367.3 million) on the back of 28.93 million tickets sold total.
In North America, Funimation revealed on May 13 that Demon Slayer had crossed US$40 million, and when combined with the weekend after, has made an estimated total of US$42,000,000. If the film continues at its current pace, it should outgross Pokemon: The Movie 2000's US$43,758,684 box office gross by the end of the week and take the spot for the second highest-grossing anime film.
You’re setting the box office ablaze. #MugenTrain just passed $40 million!
