Online movie ticket seller Fandango has some news about the upcoming Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, the latest film in the Demon Slayer saga. The platform says that the film, which comes out in the US September 12, is its best first-day ticket pre-seller for an anime film of all time.
In its first 24 hours on sale, tickets for Infinity Castle have surpassed the previous Demon Slayer film, Mugen Train, as well as Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
Jerramy Hainline, EVP of Fandango, was quoted as saying: “The overwhelming response is a true testament to the power of the anime community, and we are so proud to help bring anime into theaters so fans can experience it on the big screen.”
Infinity Castle was released in Japan on July 18 and is already the country’s fourth-highest-grossing film of all time with 25.7 billion yen in ticket sales.
Crunchyroll Mega or Ultimate Fan subscribers have the chance to see the film a few days early. We’ve got the details here.
Here’s the official description of the film:
Tanjiro Kamado – a boy who joined an organization dedicated to hunting down demons called the Demon Slayer Corps after his younger sister Nezuko was turned into a demon.
While growing stronger and deepening his friendships and bonds with fellow corps members, Tanjiro has battled many demons with his comrades – Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. Along the way, his journey has led him to fight alongside the Demon Slayer Corps’ highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira, including Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku aboard the Mugen Train, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui within the Entertainment District, as well as Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji at the Swordsmith Village.
As the Demon Slayer Corps members and Hashira engaged in a group strength training program, the Hashira Training, in preparation for the forthcoming battle against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion. With the head of the Demon Corps in danger, Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters but are plunged into a deep descent to a mysterious space by the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji.
The destination of where Tanjiro and Demon Slayer Corps have fallen is the demons’ stronghold – the Infinity Castle. And so, the battleground is set as the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons ignites.
