Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Arc Chapter 1: Akaza’s Return Box Office Prediction

There are no official numbers for the total budget of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie, but rumors have it that the movie had a staggering budget of $390 million. The new Demon Slayer movie has been released only in Japan so far and continues to hold the no.1 spot for the second consecutive week, according to Kogyotsushin.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle arc chapter 1 is not just the biggest release of the year but also the biggest release in Japanese cinema’s history, as the movie is smashing all the box-office records left and right. However, this streak might come to a halt as severe Tsunami warnings have been issued in Japan at the time of writing.
Demon Slayer – The Movie: Mugen Train continues to top the charts as the highest-grossing Japanese movie worldwide ($507 million) as well as the highest-grossing movie in Japan (¥40.4 billion or $273 million). If the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Arc continues performing at its current pace, it will easily surpass the box office numbers of its predecessor to become the highest-grossing Japanese movie both globally and in Japan.
We expect that the global release of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie will significantly boost the box-office figures, and it might be the first Japanese movie to cross the $600 million mark. However, as numerous other countries, such as Russia, the US, etc, have also been issued with massive Tsunami warnings, the release might get delayed.
