Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle China Box Office Pre-Sales: Nears $10M In 3 Days, Poised For Record Non-Chinese Opening Post-COVID

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is gearing up for a massive release in China, with surging pre-sales.

Keep scrolling for details.

The latest Demon Slayer film has remained a box office phenomenon since its July release, earning over $500 million worldwide and ranking as the fifth-highest-grossing movie globally. In China, pre-sales began strongly, with the first day of advance bookings outpacing F9.
