Back in February 2024, several months before the official television premiere of the fourth season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, we watched the preview/recap movie Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training, which gave us an insight into the then-upcoming season, which premiered on May 12, 2024, and ended on June 30, after eight episodes. The Hashira Training Arc was the penultimate arc in the manga, before the two-part Infinity Castle Arc, which is going set to conclude the story written by Koyoharu Gotouge. With Season 4 over, fans wanted to know what would happen to the upcoming season, and while we can confirm that there will not be a Season 5 of Demon Slayer, we can also confirm that the anime will continue. Just in a different form.
Namely, after the conclusion of Season 4, it was confirmed that the manga’s final, major arc – the Infinity Castle Arc – will indeed...

The previous episode of Hashira training arc marked the beginning of the final showdown that is about to take place between Muzan and the Demon Slayers. While his bold entry into the Ubuyashiki mansion might have stolen the headlines, the previous episode also delved into the past of the stronges Hashira – Gyomei Himejima.
With Tanjiro’s training being completed at the right time, he and the others will come together to face the biggest threat and also the final boss who is standing in front of them – Muzan Kibutsuji.
The final episode of Demon Slayer: Hashira Training arc is certainly going to live up to its hype, given how the plot has developed.

With each episode of Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc anime, Tanjiro, Zenitsu and the others are overcoming the obstacles and moving forward with the rigorous training regimes that are being put forth by the Hashiras.
While they cleared the training put forth by Mitsuri Kanroji and Obanai Iguro (comparitively faster) in the previous episode, Tanjiro and Zenitsu head to the strongest Hashira in the Demon Slayer next – Gyomei Himejima.
Surprisingly, episode 5 did not feature much of an anime original content, so it needs to be seen what happens in episode 6!

Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc Episode 3 set the trend for what we can expect from the upcoming episodes of the anime. Most of it was anime original content, and focused on the training that Tanjiro and the other Demon Slayers went through at the hands of the Hashiras.
In the previous episode, Tanjiro shone brightly despite the gruelling regime that was set by Tengen Uzui. The fourth episode too will continue the trend, as the Mist Hashira – Muichiro Tokito – will step in to train these budding warriors and prep for the upcoming fight.
But along with the training, we are getting crumbs of Sanemi and Obanai talking about the mysterious castle they encountered, building the mystery!!

Demon Slayer anime is certainly hurtling towards its endgame, going by how the situation is shaping up! While the opening episode of the Hashira Training arc was relatively light-hearted, it did touch upon the aftermath of the Swordsmith village arc, and the especially the new demon slayer marks which Mitsuri and Muichiro received.
As a bonus we got a revelation of Muzan’s past.
The upcoming Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc episodes will build on the discussion that Hashira had, and move on to the training that Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu will have to undergo.
While Tengen returns in the role of a teacher, Tamayo too will be making an appearance, playing a pivotal role in episode 2, and also the upcoming events.
As a battle with Muzan looms on the horizon, the stakes keep getting higher in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba.

It was no secret heading into 2024 that it was going to be a bumpy ride as far as the box office was concerned. Last year's SAG and WGA strikes ended up delaying tons of movies, giving us a sparse release calendar this year. Well, the sad state of affairs reared its terrible head this past weekend, which was one of the worst of the year so far. The industry at large can only cross its fingers and hope against hope that it gets better from here.
This past weekend saw three new movies hit theaters in the form of "Abigail," "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," and "Spy x Family Code: White." Unfortunately, all three underperformed against relatively modest expectations. The vampire flick "Abigaily" pulled in just $10 million, failing to take the crown away from A24"s "Civil War," which earned $11 million in its second weekend. The horror film, which hails...

Monday Am Update: It looks like Dune: Part Two had an even spicier opening than expected, with Deadline reporting that the film actually ended up making a million bucks more over the weekend than anticipated. It’s adjusted weekend gross now stands at $82.5 million, meaning it had a bigger opening weekend than Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Will it end up crossing $300 million domestically? Word-of-mouth and time will tell!
Original Post: The final numbers are coming in, and Dune: Part Two is defying earlier predictions that it would open in the $75 million-ish range with a strong $81 million opening weekend. This is just slightly above what we predicted a few days ago. Why is it coming in so much higher than the trades predicted yesterday?

This past weekend was sort of the calm before the storm at the box office, with "Bob Marley: One Love" sort of holding it down until "Dune: Part Two" arrives to help rescue 2024's abysmal ticket sales thus far. But a couple of new movies did hit theaters, with "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba—To the Hashira Training" leading the way and maintaining the trend of anime finding its audience in theaters. Unfortunately, the weekend's other big new release, Ethan Coen's "Drive-Away Dolls," didn't fare nearly as well and now ranks as one of the year's early theatrical disappointments.

The past few years have taught us an awful lot about what the future of moviegoing might look like. It's an ever-evolving beast in the aftermath of the pandemic but one fairly certain trend has emerged: Anime has found its audience in North America. This has once again firmed up with the release of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba—To the Hashira Training," the latest in a series of theatrical releases from the wildly popular anime series. It may not have topped the charts like "Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Mugen Train" did in 2021, but it helped fill plenty of seats in theaters that otherwise would have been at best sparsely occupied.
Released by Crunchyroll in the U.S., the latest "Demon Slayer" film made $11.5 million in its opening frame, trailing only the hit music biopic "Bob Marley: One Love" ($13.5 million), which is in its second weekend. Most impressive of all?...

The last full weekend of February was another dour and dreary time at the box office as none of the three new wide releases made much of a mark. Read on for the weekend box office report.
Despite the release of three new movies, Paramount’s biopic, “Bob Marley: One Love,” starring Kingsley Ben-Adir and Lashana Lynch, remained atop the box office despite a fairly large 53% drop from Presidents Day weekend. It took first place with an estimated $13.5 million, bringing its domestic total to $71.2 million. Over the weekend, it hit $100 million globally in less than two weeks of release, adding another $15 million internationally for a global total of $120.6 million.
Opening in 1,949 theaters, Crunchyroll’s Anime “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To The Hashira Training” was actually a combination of episodes from the previous season of the series and a preview of the upcoming season. It gave fans a first...

The final weekend box office numbers are in, and Bob Marley: One Love, the crowd-pleasing biopic, continues to do well, with an estimated gross of $13.5 million over the weekend. It dropped a comparatively modest 53% at the box office thanks to strong word-of-mouth (although the hold was less than I thought in my predictions). It’s well on its way to north of $100 million domestically.
However, for holdovers, the picture was much less rosy for Madame Web, which plunged to fourth place with a 61% drop. Now, it should be said that the drop isn’t as severe as the ones faced by The Marvels (78%) and Morbius (74%) in their second weekends, although both movies opened far stronger than Madame Web did. With a $6 million weekend and a $35.4 million total, it seems unlikely this film will gross the $45 million mark, a disaster for a big-budget superhero film.

Movie theaters have had a rough start to the year, but amid the sparse February release slate "Bob Marley: One Love" has found the stage it needed. The biopic from director Reinaldo Marcus Green has passed the $100 million mark at the box office in 10 days, including a record-breaking opening in Jamaica. The film has also held on to the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office in its second weekend, fending off fresh competition from "Drive-Away Dolls," "Ordinary Angels," and "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba."
10 days into its theatrical run, "One Love" has grossed $61.4 million domestically and $39.7 million overseas for a total of $101.1 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It's now looking at a second weekend in the region of $13-14 million at the domestic box office, which even on the low end equates to a very respectable 53% hold.

A new “Demon Slayer” film is about to hit the multiplex, and while “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba — To the Hashira Training” contains plenty of familiar material for those who have already watched the show, it’s a little bit of a slog even if you’re already a fan.
When “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba — The Movie: Mugen Train” dethroned “Spirited Away” as the highest-grossing Japanese film in history after it debuted in theaters and slowly rolled out to the rest of the world in early 2021, it was the first time the “Demon Slayer” anime was on the radar of most non-fans. Heavy on lore and light on any explanation as to what was actually going on—Who are these people? Why are they on a train? Are demons just ugly vampires with superpowers?—“Mugen Train” was a rough ride for anyone not already deep into “Demon Slayer”’s whole thing.

It’s the calm before the storm. Next weekend, the box office is set to catch fire with the long-awaited release of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two. We caught the film this week, and as you might be able to tell by our review, we loved it. As such, studios are reluctant to open anything too ambitious this weekend because they will all get swallowed up like a Harkonen being munched on by a sandworm next weekend. So, we can expect Paramount’s surprise hit, Bob Marley: One Love to easily nab a second weekend on top of the box office. But what about Madame Web?

It’s the last full weekend of the shorter month of February, and it’s hard to think that anything will do well enough to have any sort of impact on a month that barely recovered from January with a better-than-expected Presidents Day weekend. Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview.
What we get this weekend as far as new wide releases is an anime project, a faith-based drama and a quirky indie of sorts from an Oscar-winning filmmaker, which should all enter the Top 10 interspersed with returning movies.

It’s a similar theatrical release as what’s been done with “The Chosen,” in that it’s actually made up of two episodes from the popular Crunchyroll anime series, the conclusion of the “Swordsmith Village Arc” and the first episode of the “Hashira Training Arc,...

The Coen Brothers are about as legendary as it comes in the world of filmmaking, with unparalleled classics such as "Fargo" and "No Country for Old Men" to their names. But that's as a duo. For the past several years, Joel and Ethan Coen have gone out on their own, with Joel making movies like "The Tragedy of Macbeth." Now, it's Ethan's turn to go solo with his latest, "Drive-Away Dolls." Can Ethan Coen's solo feature directorial debut help lift up the February box office? Or should we begin tempering expectations?
As it stands, the Focus Features film is looking at an opening weekend of anywhere between just $2 and $4 million (per Box Office Pro) -- an admittedly modest sum. It's also facing sneakily stiff competition from "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba -- To the Hashira Training," with the latest entry in the anime franchise expected to top the charts with between $9 and $14 million.

“Demons thrive on hunting and devouring humans.”
Success is a tricky thing. Commercial and critical acclaim allows an anime like Demon Slayer the freedom to release a feature film installment, but it’s this same success that’s pushed the series down a curious path when it comes to its cinematic installments. Demon Slayer’s first movie, Mugen Train, remains the highest-grossing movie to come out of Japan, animated or otherwise, so subsequent feature films were inevitable. That being said, Demon Slayer’s approach moving forward with its movies has given audiences some pause and is more indicative of a franchise that’s milking its fanbase than one that has worthwhile, cinematic stories to tell.
Demon Slayer’s second movie, To The Swordsmith Village, along with its latest feature, To The Hashira Training, feel more like glorified fan screenings than genuine movies. These films combine the previous season’s finale...
