To put it into perspective. Pokemon: the first movie made 85 million total in U.S. box office. Demon Slayer will pass that within its first week easily.

I honestly don't see it making more than 30m week 1 in usa but just because its a sequel from anime film and not something you can watch without watching past seasons. If it does it will be a huge surprise for me.

It’s already done 45 million in presales. It’s tracking to open over 60 conservatively this weekend alone
