What makes this accomplishment even rarer is that Mugen Train is not just a film based on an anime TV show - it’s the middle chapter in an ongoing story that will continue with a second season of the series, rather than a side story newcomers can watch without much prior knowledge of the franchise. 4 film at the overall global box office, just ahead of Nolan’s time-travel thriller - all while playing only in its home market and a handful of Asian countries, but excluding the juggernaut that is China. In a year without Marvel movies, this sequel to a popular TV anime became the fastest film to earn over $100 million at the Japanese box office, the highest-grossing film ever in Japan, and the No. No matter what Christopher Nolan may have wanted you to believe, the movie that saved the box office last year wasn’t Tenet but an anime film titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train.


Following its record-breaking success in Japan, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train is preparing to make its Stateside debut.
