A new visual was also unveiled for the film, which spotlights the battle between the Flame Hashira Rengoku and Upper Moon Three Akaza, who is voiced by Akira Ishida.

The film opened in Japan last October 16, with North American releases set for early 2021.

Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train’s opening weekend is the highest ever in Japan for any film, earning over 4.6 billion yen (USD 43.8 million). As of this writing, the film has now earned more than 10 billion yen after just 10 days, making it the fastest film in Japan to earn 10 billion. The last movie that held this record was Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away in 2001, which breached the 10 billion mark 25 days from its release.

The manga’s story is described by Anime News Network as such:

“Since ancient times, rumors have abounded of man-eating demons lurking in the woods. Because of this, the local townsfolk never venture outside at night. Legend has it that a demon slayer also roams the night, hunting down these bloodthirsty demons. For young Tanjiro, these rumors will soon to become his harsh reality. Ever since the death of his father, Tanjiro has taken it upon himself to support his family. Although their lives may be hardened by tragedy, they’ve found happiness. But that ephemeral warmth is shattered one day when Tanjiro finds his family slaughtered and the lone survivor, his sister Nezuko, turned into a demon. To his surprise, however, Nezuko still shows signs of human emotion and thought. Thus begins Tanjiro’s request to fight demons and turn his sister human again.”

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a shonen manga series written by Koyoharu Gotoge. It was first published in February 2016 in Weekly Shonen Jump and ended last May. The manga’s English license is currently held by Viz Media.
