Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle opened in U.S. theaters over the past weekend with a record-breaking performance that somehow surpassed even the expectations of the franchise’s most hardcore fans. With over $70 million, this is the best opening ever for an anime movie (breaking the record held by Pokémon: The First Movie), the best for Crunchyroll, and even the best for Sony (which acquired the anime distribution and streaming platform in 2021) over the past two years.
