Overview

  • The film dethroned Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle from Japan’s top box office spot after a three‑day haul of about ¥1.3 billion (≈$8.8 million), per industry estimates.
  • Distributor TOHO reported roughly ¥420 million on opening day and is forecasting an overall run near ¥5 billion.
  • India’s CBFC cleared the movie with an A rating and no visual cuts, with Sony Pictures Entertainment India set to release it on September 26; the runtime is 102 minutes.
  • A coordinated rollout is underway, with premieres in more than 80 countries on September 24, a U.S. theatrical opening on October 24, and a UK date on October 29.
  • Early audience reactions are strongly positive on animation, action and music, while commentators note the mature content could limit family appeal compared with Demon Slayer.
