Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train" in English language version.
In North America, Demon Slayer continued its impressive success by bringing in an additional $500,000. The anime film now sits at $29.2 million total from IMAX screens. $25 million of that total comes from Japan, which shows what a behemoth it is.
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train opened in Japanese cinemas on October 16 and had the best opening weekend in Japanese cinema history, becoming the highest-grossing film in Japanese theaters ever, the highest-grossing anime and Japanese film worldwide, and the second-highest-grossing film of 2020.
Based on our estimates, and those of our sources, Demon Slayer has surpassed China's The Eight Hundred to become the No. 1 movie of 2020 worldwide, when including its 2021 takings. Despite some other numbers that are out there, The Eight Hundred has an actual gross of $450M, again according to several sources (this has to do with trued-up figures based on real-time exchange rates during that film's full run).
In Russia, Demon Slayer ranks as the highest grossing anime film ever and the top Japanese production with $1.7M.
Demon Slayer, which has passed $500 million worldwide in exchange-rate-adjusted global grosses and remains by far the biggest global earner of 2020, now has $47.7 million domestic.
Demon Slayer also became the fastest movie in the history of Japan's box office to cross 10 billion yen and $100 million, hitting those marks in just 10 days (Japan's box office is known for its long holds and steady gains over weeks and months for top titles).
The anime import surprised many last week with its $19.5 million in U.S. receipts. This was not just the biggest opening for Japanese animation, but for a foreign language film of any kind.
"Demon Slayer" is set for a North American release in early 2021, with Aniplex of America and Funimation distributing. Among overseas territories, however, Taiwan will get the film first, on Oct. 30, with others to follow.
In Taiwan, where it is handled by animation specialist Muse Communication, the film opened in cinemas on Oct. 30 and has now gone on to earn NT$360 million ($12.6 million) in 17 days. That makes it the biggest film of the year in Taiwan, the territory's top scoring Japanese film, and the best-selling animated feature of all time.
