| Not long ago, demon slayer has not only became the #1 highest grossing animated movie in Japan (which also means highest grossing film of Japan 'either animated or not' in Japan) but it has also become the #1 Japanese film worldwide. Obviously #1 movies of Japan are anime movies. SO WILL IT BECOME THE FIRST EVER JAPANESE ANIME MOVIE/ JAPANESE MOVIE TO HIT 400 MILLION USD? Edit: It has crossed 400 million USD a good time ago. It's time to see if it hit half a billion mark. Another EDIT:- It is said to have crossed 500 Million USD mark. |

In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |
| Even if it did I couldn't care less, demon slayer mid af |
| obviously and its just a matter of when its only been active on japanese cinema for 2 months afaik while Spirited Away got multiple re-airing on cinemas for years |
Armados said: I know about it baby. The #1 film franchise of Japan is Doraemon (that kids show).As a standalone movie? Sure, I guess. As a franchise its not even close to being in the top spots. |

Armados said: Peeti said: and ironically none of those franchises' i.e. doraemon's and Pokemon's animated movies come close to demon slayer in one vs one competition. Ufotable is the reason as to why Demon Slayer is popular. Give it Toei and the series would've flopped hard :) That's true. Main reason why demon slayer is so popular is for the animation. If the animation was just average, I doubt it would've got as popular as it is |
| They should seriously release it in streaming service in the west.We can't just wait forever.Also it woudn't be surprising if it hits 400 million usd.If it hits 1 billion usd now that would really be surprising. |
 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
MoonDragon72 said: I think that it will hit 400 million USD in just Japan like the way it's going there. Lol.I don't think it'll happen since no one in the US is going to the cinema anymore (thanks to Trump's mishandling of COVID). Funimation will probably just stream it instead, like what Disney+ did with Soul, or maybe they'll pull a HBO Max and put it in theaters too.

It means in third movie there be a crossover between both? https://youtu.be/kn6-c223DUUDemon Slayer 3 The Infinity Air Plane... alshu said: Boat and ship in the same movie? Woah! Will that boat going to wreck a ship?Demon Slayer 2 The Infinity Boat on the other hand will be a veritable shipwreck. You know about inside production a lot, Uncle. Cool. Keep sharing these infos. |

You forgot about the infinity part, it's the most important part! Peeti said: Boat and ship in the same movie? Yeah, not in an ocean or a big lake even - in the middle of Atacama (fog desert - big foreshadowing!). Peeti said: Will that boat going to wreck a ship? You know your battle shounen.

alshu said: Demon Slayer 3 The Infinity Air Plane...Demon Slayer 2 The Infinity Boat on the other hand will be a veritable shipwreck. Best part of this comment is that there is an arc called the Infinite Fortress, lmao. Gotouge didn´t put too much thought into their sagas. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I mean, good for them. I don´t care that much to be honest. By this point I expect them to animate the whole thing, which is cool because there are 2 moments I am looking forward to, but I wonder how people are going to receive the floppy ending the manga got. Because holy hell, it´s such a bad arc and bad ending, it felt very Naruto-like. |

Obviously #1 movies of Japan are anime movies. SO WILL IT BECOME THE FIRST EVER JAPANESE ANIME MOVIE/ JAPANESE MOVIE TO HIT 400 MILLION USD? LOL. Wouldn't be surprised. It may even do it in Asia alone, but it's dependent on the COVID situation in Japan, given Tokyo's just been shut down. I say it'll earn between 450 and 500 million in total when it's been released worldwide. |
| Probably yes, hopefully ufotable can use their share of the money to work on other things I actually care about. |
   |
| In the long run, it'll happen but another lockdown happens in Japan tomorrow. Worldwide it'll pass 400 million easily. |

| Probably, It reach 350M+ USD in less than 3 months, i bet it could past 500M USD after a year, well hopefully it does, since it would be a massive achievement for anime industry, and i can only be proud as an anime fan, whether i like demon slayer or not. |
Parag_kun said: enjoy it while you can in India boy. I hope it to do good in Indian theatres as well.Armados said: not just animation , the action scenes were well written. One of the best action movies tbhUfotable is the reason as to why Demon Slayer is popular. Give it Toei and the series would've flopped hard :) |

| I luv how some people in this thread are undermining the film by bringing up accumulated revenue from other franchises across TV Shows or money produced over several years. Somehow yall feel threatened that a series' you consider mid asf is somehow making more than your favorite show Lmao |
 |
| Probably, and fair play to it. It's nothing extraordinary, but it must be doing something right in the Japanese market for it to become such a big hit. Revenue is never normally an indicator of quality, but it's certainly a good indicator of how well-loved and popular a particular series is. |
| I love when this haters get salty with demon slayer success too much salt comparing whole series like Pokemon,db which came in 90s whole revenue to single movie haha single movie can threatened them this much to act like no life I can't wait for 2 nd season when all anime airing that season get underwhelm by demon slayer |

| 400 million USD already? Now its about time untill it reach 500 million USD. 0.5 billion USD is huge but i wonder if it could reach 1 Billion, probably not, i bet it probably hit 600 million USD at best. |

Peeti said: Keep in mind that this movie havent made it to china yet. And if i remember correctly your name was able to earn about 70+ million USD in china, it's possible for mugen train to earn more than your name. thats why i think it's only about time until it reach 500 million, but we'll have to wait and see .Tower_Of_Trash said: it will not even hit 500. 425-450 at best.400 million USD already?

 |
| This is one damn achievement for sure. As much as I can't stand the story, even leaving the manga on hold for the longest minute, this is a great achievement no cap. GG Demon Slayer. |

Peeti said: I don't think it will be released in China. Howcome it isnt releasing in china. Last time I heard, they were going to release it earlier this year but got delayed due to the slang in monster hunter. I thought they just delayed the release but not showing it in china at all seems weird at this point. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |

Yeah its late but not too late, it will still do good business there. plus full HD version of the film are already out on several sites due to the ps store leak yet it still continues to earn alot and recently opened well in france and some other south american countries as well and china being the biggest box office grosser during this pandemic, you can expect alot. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time. |
Peeti said: I am proud to be a Doraemon fan.Adults can also watch Doraemon especially its movies.I recommend people to watch Stand by me Doraemon.It will make you laugh and cry.Armados said: I know about it baby.

 For your Information: |
| Now all I need is for ufotable to use that sweet money to animate actual good manga. Or hopefully give a re-adaptation of fate route. |
