The Demon Slayer movie is out to buy in Japan, and it’s already broken records. The day it was released it sold 218,000 regular-edition DVDs and 268,000 limited-edition Blu-ray Discs. Regular edition Blu-ray Discs and limited edition DVDs were also released. These numbers add up to more than any other Japanese releases have made in a week this year, let alone a day. Earlier in 2021 the record belonged to Snow Man Asia Tour 2D.2D, having sold 236,000 Blu-ray Discs and 170,000 DVDs during its first week out.
The limited-edition Blu-ray contains a number of extra goodies, including special illustrations, audio commentary track from the voice actors, the film score on CD, and a booklet with discussions and interviews with the cast and crew.
Meanwhile, Funimation is scheduled to release the movie digitally in North America on June 22.
