The first part of the final trilogy of "Demon Slayer", also known as "Blade of Demon Destruction", will reach Russian cinemas a week after the start of international distribution.

Haruo Sotozaki once again directed the film, and ufotable studio is responsible for animation and screenplay. The film receives rave reviews from viewers — they praise not only the visual level, but also the emotional richness of the events.
The premiere in Japan took place on July 18. In 38 days, the film attracted more than 20 million viewers and grossed about $191 million, surpassing "Titanic" in box office receipts and taking third place in the history of Japanese film distribution.

According to analysts, the film has every chance to break the record of the previous film in the franchise — "Demon Slayer: Mugen Train", which grossed $507 million — and become the highest-grossing anime in history.
