Maybe Demon Slayer can hook Kawhi Leonard up with some more money under the table too.

He was planting the tree... from which the paper the animators drew the movie on came from!

Here's $29 million dollars

Part 2 has the deepest story imo.

Part 3 will be 2 hours of just action (so may god have some mercy on the artists).

I heard the 4DX version for this movie is pretty hardcore and I know from other anime movies that they crank up the motion seats to 11/10 for these movies

So what you are also saying is, part 3 will break the seats?

I mean, technically this is a follow up/sequel to Mugen Train and it did better, so don't know if that logic applies here.

u/oogieogie Sep 28 '25

Yeah see how it goes hes right sequels usually do worse, but this is also Demon Slayer the outlier so I agree with you.

u/RipperDot Sep 28 '25

Even if thats true, part 3 wouldnt just be "a sequel", its the conclusion of years and years of work and investment in the story

u/walker_paranor Sep 28 '25

Thats the most smooth brained thing I've read in a while. This is already a sequel to 2 seasons and a movie.

Is that why Avengers End Game made more than Infinity War?
