Ugh, trying to keep track of all these numbers is like trying to follow a conversation with Inosuke, you know? It's just a lot of yelling and chaos. But okay, I've got a handle on it. Let's talk about the box office for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle on its third day.

First off, let's just get the main thing out of the way: this movie is absolutely slaying the box office, just like the Demon Slayers themselves! It's doing unbelievably well, not just in Japan, but everywhere it's been released, especially in India and the US.
So, for day 3, which was a Sunday, the numbers are looking fantastic. In India, where it came out on a Friday, the third-day collection was around ₹14.25 crore (that's roughly $1.56 million USD, if my math is right, but you know how I get with numbers). This is a pretty big deal because it is higher than its first day, which shows incredible consistency. The total collection in India is now at a whopping ₹40.25 crore for the whole weekend. That's a lot of rupees! And get this, it's neck-and-neck with another big Indian movie, Mirai, which also came out at the same time. The fight for the top spot is real!
In the US, it's a similar story. The movie's three-day opening weekend total is estimated to be around $70 million, which is just insane! It totally obliterated the previous record for an anime film's opening weekend, which was held by some old Pokémon movie from forever ago. It even beat out some big Hollywood films that came out at the same time, like Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Who would have thought a bunch of demon-slaying teenagers could take down some fancy British aristocrats?
Globally, the film ended its first three day with a $400 million worldwide gross milestone. The movie, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle, is now the fourth highest-grossing Japanese film of all time worldwide.
I mean, the demand was so high that they were having shows at like, 5 a.m.! Can you imagine? Waking up before the sun is even out to go see a movie. Only for something as cool as Demon Slayer, I guess. It just goes to show you how dedicated the fans are. I heard there were people dressing up in their own Demon Slayer Corps uniforms, which is just so cool. Though I bet the ushers had a hard time telling the cosplayers apart from the actual characters.
Anyway, the movie's success isn't just because of the day-to-day numbers. The advance bookings were absolutely wild. People were buying tickets so fast that they had to add more shows. It's already the highest-grossing non-Hollywood film in India, and it's on track to become one of the biggest animated movies ever in the world. It’s even surpassed the lifetime earnings of other popular anime movies in India, like Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Suzume, in just one weekend. Crazy, right?
So, yeah, to sum it all up: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle had a monster Day 3 at the box office, adding to its already massive haul and proving that the fandom for this series is as strong as a Hashira's resolve. I'm just so glad I got to see it before it sold out everywhere. What a ride!
