With a global gross above the $472 million cume of China’s “shot on IMAX” pre-World War II epic The Eight Hundred, Demon Slayer The Movie is now the biggest global grosser of 2020. Sorry to Spirited Away, which will now have to merely exist as the greatest animated movie of all time. That’s $356 million in Japan alone (over $400 million by late 2020 currency exchange rates), a record for any Japanese release ever. Needless to say, this is still a big win for Funimation, and the film itself has earned over $473 million worldwide since October of 2020. After a weekend like this, it isn’t challenging Roberto Benigni’s Oscar-winning Holocaust dramedy for the silver medal. It sits behind Pan’s Labyrinth ($37.634 million in 2006), Instructions Not Included ($44.467 million in 2013), Parasite ($53.4 million in 2019), Hero ($53.71 million in 2004), Life is Beautiful ($57.2 million in 1999) and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ($128 million in 2000). With $34.1 million in ten days, it has already passed Amélie ($33.225 million in 2001) to become the seventh-biggest grossing (sans inflation) foreign-language film ever in North America. Even with better weekday grosses compared to Dragon Ball Super: Brolly, this one couldn’t maintain the momentum into the weekend. Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train grossed $6.426 million in weekend two, a drop of 71% from its boffo $21.14 million debut.
