With 32.48 billion yen raised in just over two months, Demon Slayer: Infinity Train is officially the most watched film in Japanese cinema historyIt surpasses Studio Ghibli’s The Enchanted City, breaking at least another dozen records, including best start, best weekend, most screenings, and more.
The record is not only surprising because of the number, which corresponds to around 256 million euros in Japan alone, but above all because Ufotables film was able to outperform the Ghibli masterpiece in nineteen years in less than eighty days. When you consider that the film with Tanjiro, Rengoku, and his companions will stay in theaters for at least three more months, including 4D, IMAX, and several re-editions before and after the season two debut, it’s virtually certain that the crowd will continue will rise by billions of yen.
To give a specific example: Made in Italy is the most profitable film ever User picture by James Cameron, which brought in 65.5 million euros in 2009, closely followed by Where am I going? by Gennaro Nunziante and Checco Zalone. Japan has double the number of Italian residents, and Demon Slayer: Infinity Train has earned more than four times the number above. So in perspective, even if Avatar or Quo Vado? After making twice as much, they still wouldn’t get anywhere near what has been done in Japan in just two months since the Ufotable movie.
The fans, of course, celebrated the milestone on social media. You can see some of the funniest reactions below, but we want to hear yours. What do you think of this incredible success? Are you going to visit Demon Slayer: Infinity Train when it comes out in Italy? Let us know in the comments!
