As predicted last week, it seems the Gintama: THE FINAL anime film was only a temporary set back to the juggernaut engine that is Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train, which once again came in at number one over the weekend at the Japanese box office with the “final” Gintama anime film coming in a slight second.
After the delay of Evangelion 3.0+1.0, if Gintama: THE FINAL can’t hold off Demon Slayer, then it’s likely Ufotable film will continue to dominate the Japanese box office until at least February.
Demon Slayer is currently being run in more expensive cinema formats (4DX, IMAX) than Gintama: THE FINAL, which just on traditional screens.
