While both of the first two films – Monster Strike The Movie (2016) and Monster Strike The Movie: Sora no Kanata (2018) – made their No.1 debut, the third film ranked only sixth in its opening weekend.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train earned a strong 1.773 billion yen on 1.296 million admissions on its fourth Saturday and Sunday, staying at No.1 in the weekend box office ranking for four consecutive weeks.
The film now ranks fifth in the box office ranking of all-time in Japan, already surpassing the first Harry Potter film Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone (20.3 billion yen), Hayao Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle (2004 / 19.6 billion yen) and Princess Mononoke (1997 / 11.3 billion).
