Demon Slayer Infinity Castle box office collection Day 2: Haruo Sotozaki anime maintains momentum, mints over Rs 25 cr

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle recorded an overall 47.75% occupancy in Japanese (2D) on Saturday, with morning shows at 41.58%, afternoon shows at 53.58%, evening shows at 48.08%, and night shows at 48.08%. In comparison, the film registered 38.19% occupancy in English and 21.60% in Hindi on the same day.

The film has undoubtedly outperformed every other anime release in India in recent years.

Directed by Haruo Sotozaki, Demon Slayer Infinity Castle opened in India to mixed reviews. An excerpt from SCREEN’s review read, “Creating films out of existing anime arcs is tricky. As a filmmaker, you are supposed to turn a story that is supposed to be told episodically into one single piece of art. If not done properly, it can feel patchy as the action — and excitement — keeps on landing back on the ground every time a new episode is supposed to start. However, director Haruo Sotozaki is no ordinary man; he has helmed the Demon Slayer franchise for a long time now and has his own little trilogy to put up against Christopher Nolan. Yet with all his accolades and past credits, Sotozaki is for the most part unsuccessful in keeping Infinity Castle engaging throughout its run.”
