Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle emerges biggest opener this weekend, shoulders with Mirai
Distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment in around 1700 screens, Infinity Castle emerged as the biggest opener this weekend among all the other Indian releases. The Japanese movie outperformed Teja Sajja's Mirai, too, which opened in a similar range.
Released in five languages including Japanese, English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle targets a big jump on Saturday and Sunday, depending on its superb advance booking. If the movie manages to perform on the expected lines, it will storm around Rs 45 crore gross in its opening weekend, which is nothing short of a dream for an anime film in India.
The movie is expected to rule the opening week. However, it will be interesting to see how the movie performs in the second weekend, when Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi starrer Jolly LLB 3 will grab most of the screens.
