Hey everyone- about to place my preorder for Legends Z-A; so here's another piece of anime news that's been making the rounds.
In the midst of breaking numerous records in Japan and other foreign countries; Demon Slayer- Kimetsu No Yaiba: Infinity Castle (the first of a trilogy adapting the final arc of the manga) has shattered the US anime opening weekend record long held by 1999's Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back; taking in $70.6 million in its release. Handily taking the number one spot, it is a testament to the fanbase of the franchise and the medium.

To date, the film has grossed $353.6 million worldwide on a $20 million budget. Given the strange state of affairs this year; the question is less if the movie will be the first animated work to cross $100 million at the domestic box office this year; but when. That is all for now, take care.
