Kimetsu no Yaiba film set a record in North America

Sony Pictures' film “Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” has achieved great success in North America. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The film earned 70 million dollars in the US and Canada during its first week alone, breaking the opening record of 31 million dollars held by the 1999 film “Pokemon: The First Movie — Mewtwo Strikes Back.” Box Office Pro experts expected the film to earn between 60 and 75 million dollars, but the result exceeded expectations.

“Demon Slayer” is based on a popular Japanese comic, which has sold over 220 million copies worldwide. Numerous series, games, and films have been produced based on this work.

The new film is the first part of a trilogy distributed through the Crunchyroll platform and has generated approximately 280 million dollars globally. Experts believe that “Demon Slayer” has initiated a new era of quality and popularity in the anime genre.

Additionally, Sony has demonstrated its strength in this field with the film “KPop Demon Hunters,” produced for Netflix. The widespread popularity of the anime genre is positively impacting Sony’s business in gaming, music, film, and television, significantly increasing its market share.
