Anime Taking Over Hollywood?
This milestone has solidified its position as the highest-grossing anime and Japanese film in cinemas, a feat attributed to the exceptional work of Aniplex and Ufotable, as well as the unwavering support of anime fans worldwide.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Purini expressed his surprise at surpassing $70 million in the first 3 days of release in US theaters, showcasing the immense impact of anime on a global scale.
Since its debut on September 12, Demon Slayer: The Infinity Castle has already exceeded $104 million in the US, indicating that anime has evolved from a niche interest to a form of “mass entertainment.”
The $556 million earnings of Demon Slayer: The Infinity Castle have outperformed Hollywood blockbusters like Marvel Studios’ Captain America series, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic Four, highlighting the film’s unprecedented success.
With potential to surpass even more Hollywood hits like the latest Mission: Impossible and Superman films, Demon Slayer: The Infinity Castle is a testament to the widespread popularity of anime around the world.
