The new chapter of "Demon Slayer" will reach Russian cinemas on September 18.
The "Demon Slayer" anime franchise is breaking records again. The new full-length film "Infinite Castle" has grossed over 31.43 billion yen (about $213 million) in 52 days and attracted over 22 million viewers to Japanese cinemas. This makes it the fastest-grossing film in the history of the Japanese box office.
The film is only 200 million yen (approximately $1.3 million) short of the second line of total box office in Japanese history — it is currently slightly behind Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away." But the distance to the leader, the previous film in the franchise, "Demon Slayer: Mugen Train," is still significant: about $60 million.
"Infinite Castle" adapts the first part of the final arc of the manga — the events unfold inside the location of the same name, where the main characters face Muzan and his elite demons: Douma, Kaigaku, and Akaza.
The premiere in Russian cinemas will take place on September 18.
