Sony Pictures' film Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle was a major success in North America. The film grossed $70 million in the US and Canada in just the opening week, surpassing the $31 million record set by Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back in 1999.
Box Office Pro said it expected sales of around $60-$75 million from the film, but the result was higher than expected.
"Demon Slayer" is based on a popular Japanese comic book that has sold over 220 million copies. Based on it, series, games, and other films were also created. The new one was the first part of the trilogy distributed through Crunchyroll, grossing around $280 million worldwide.
According to experts, "Demon Slayer" opened a new stage of quality and popularity in the anime world. At the same time, Sony demonstrated its strength in this direction in the Netflix film "KPop Demon Hunters".
The rise of the anime genre has had a significant impact on Sony's overall business, significantly increasing its share in the gaming, music, film, and television industries.
