Alright, so you wanna know about the first day box office for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle? Man, I was so excited for this one, I almost bought tickets for a midnight show. But who even goes to movies at like, 2 a.m.?! I mean, I love Tanjiro and all, but sleep is important, you know?

Anyway, I looked up the numbers and stuff, and it's pretty wild. This movie, which is actually part of a trilogy, is the first one in the final arc of the series. I think it's called "The Final Battle Trilogy" or something. It came out in India on September 12th, and it's already making huge waves.
So, here's the deets, and don't judge me if I get a number or two wrong, I'm just a normal person trying to keep up.
On its very first day, the movie reportedly made a whopping ₹13 crore in India! Can you believe that? That's, like, a ton of money. It's even more impressive because it's an anime, which isn't usually a huge thing in India like it is in Japan or the US. I heard it even beat the opening day of some big Indian films. Like that movie, Mahavatar Narsimha or something? I dunno, I haven't seen that one, but it sounds like Demon Slayer just totally sliced its competition.
And get this, the movie had some pretty huge pre-sales. People were so hyped they were booking tickets way in advance. I saw somewhere that the advance sales alone were around ₹10 crore, which is just bonkers. It's like everyone was just waiting for this movie to drop so they could go see it. They even added super early morning shows at like 5 a.m.! Who does that?! Only a true Demon Slayer fan, I guess.
The movie was released in a bunch of different languages in India, which is cool. It was in Japanese with subtitles (obvi, that's how you get the real experience), but also in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The Japanese version made the most, which makes sense since that's the real deal, but the Hindi version also did really well. The breakdown was something like this, if I remember correctly:
Japanese: ₹7.5 crore
English: ₹2.4 crore
Hindi: ₹2.75 crore
Telugu: ₹0.2 crore
Tamil: ₹0.15 crore
I might have mixed up the Telugu and Tamil numbers, but you get the point. It's all just so much money! The movie's a big success, and I'm not surprised at all. The last movie, To the Hashira Training, was also good, but this one is supposed to be the start of the final big battle, and I'm so ready for it. I just hope I can find a ticket that isn't a 5 a.m. show on a Tuesday. Wish me luck!
