Thanks to a more timely and all-encompassing response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan today has far fewer cases than the U.S. and many other countries, allowing Japanese citizens (masked, of course) to live comparably normal lives. Since September, that has translated to a relaxing of the restrictions and standards inherent to attending films at movie theaters, but there was still some question of whether filmgoers would really turn out in droves for new blockbuster releases. Well, that question has now been put to rest: The new anime film Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train debuted on Friday and grossed more than $44 million (4.623B yen) in Japan over the weekend, which translates to the biggest opening weekend in the history of the Japanese box office.
