According to the official twitter, the anime film is still the 3rd highest grossing film in Japan of all time. It mobilized over 17 million spectators and earned over ~23.3 billion yen (approximately ~$223 million USD) and is now even closer to the top. Homura is obviously very popular as well, so we can’t wait for the Demon Slayer movie to come overeseas!
