Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle Box Office Collection Day 2
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle just wrapped up its second day in Indian theatres, and let’s be real the energy is still electric, but there’s a hint of that inevitable Day 2 slow-down everyone in the film trade secretly dreads. According to Sacnilk, the movie scooped up around ₹ 5.28 Cr net on Day 2 for all languages in India, bringing its total net haul to ₹ 18.28 Cr over just two days. Still, there’s something quietly thrilling about seeing an anime film holding its own on Indian screens packed with competitors does anyone else remember rushing to those crammed showtimes during a big Japanese release? It’s a community thing. It just feels different.
From Frenzy to Fans: Comparing Day 1 & 2
So, let’s set the scene: Friday, the release day, was bonkers ₹13 crore. Everyone from first-time anime-goers to full-blown cosplaying die-hards poured into multiplexes, some even dragging granny along (well, someone’s got to translate subtitles, right?). Now, on Saturday, Day 2, there’s a dip, but that’s par for the course. Records show an all-language combined total, with Japanese being the preferred flavor, but the Hindi and Telugu dubs nudged those numbers up too. A quick coffee-break table for those following closely:
| Day | India Net Collection | Rough Language Split (Cr) |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 [Friday] | ₹13 Cr | JA: 7.5, EN: 2.4, HI: 2.75, TE: 0.2, TA: 0.15 |
| Day 2 [Saturday] | ₹ 5.28 Cr | — |
| Total (2 Days) | ₹ 18.28 Cr | — |
The hype is there, but the Saturday numbers remind us that even sword-wielding demon slayers take a breather after their initial charge.
The Occupancy Dance: Morning, Noon & Night
On Day 2, morning shows hit an overall 41.58% occupancy rate for the Japanese version alone, according to Sacnilk’s live data afternoon and night slots were still awaiting updates at the time of this writing, but if history tells us anything, Saturday evenings are when latecomers rush in after cricket matches or last-minute plans. It’s always a shuffle: do you risk the spoilers on social media, or brave the long lines? I heard someone in my theatre arguing over popcorn whether Muzan’s final battle would break the ₹20 crore mark. That’s the sort of nerdery only anime openings bring.
Final Thoughts
Frank's opinion? If these numbers hold, distributors might finally bring us those super-cool, triple-language event screenings without all the ticket scramble. And here’s hoping theatre snacks start featuring matcha. For now, ₹ 18.28 Cr in two days isn’t just “good for anime.” It’s just good period.
So whether you’re watching for the fight scenes or the heartbreak (yes, I teared up a bit no shame), Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is rewriting the box office playbook, one slice at a time. Here’s to more mornings queued up for anime with coffee in hand and spoilers to dodge.
