Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle China Pre-Sales Collection after 3 days
Trade analyst Luiz Fernando reports Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has sold $9.7 million in pre-sale tickets in just three days, with six days remaining before its release. Suzume reached $10 million in pre-sales three days prior to its release, but Infinity Castle is on track to hit that mark on its fourth day, making it likely to set a record for the largest pre-sales for a non-Chinese animated film.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle pre-sales at the Chinese box office:
Thursday Previews (November 13): $985K
Friday, Day 1: $4.5 million
Saturday, Day 2: $3.1 million
Sunday, Day 3: $1.1 million
Total – $9.7 million
It could become the first non-Chinese film to exceed $30 million in pre-sales.
According to the report, exhibitors are rapidly adding shows, with over 92,000 screenings available for pre-booking—a record for any non-Chinese film so early. Infinity Castle is expected to earn over $30 million in pre-sales, making it the first non-Chinese film to achieve this milestone.
Suzume earned $49.9 million during its debut weekend in China, but Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is poised to surpass this. If the momentum continues, it could even surpass Avatar: The Way of Water‘s $57.1 million or Godzilla vs Kong‘s $69.2 million debut weekends in China. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle releases in China on November 14.
