"Demon Slayer" film sets Japan opening 3-day box-office record
KYODO — The animated film adaptation of the popular manga " Demon Slayer" has set a new record for Japan's highest box-office revenue in its first three days, the distributor said Tuesday. The latest film, " Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba 'Infinity Castle -- Part 1: Akaza Returns'" drew 3.84 million visitors, hitting ¥5.52 billion (US$37 million) in box-office revenue over the three-day period from Friday, Aniplex Inc said. The subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc added the film earned ¥1.64 billion on its first day, 1.84 billion on the second and 2.04 billion on the third, making it the highest-grossing movie ever released in Japan on an opening day. Sunday marked the highest single-day box-office revenue on record. In the four days through Monday, total revenue topped ¥7.32 billion, according to Aniplex. The manga title, serialised in the Weekly Shonen Jump from 2016 to 2020, tells the story of Tanjiro Kamado, an adolescent boy who battles human-eating demons while searching for a cure for his sister, who has turned into a demon. The previous animated work based on the series, released in 2020, became the first film in Japan to surpass ¥40 billion in box-office revenue.

Resident Evil is getting a new mobile spin-off game
Less than a month after Capcom's surprise announcement of the next Resident Evil game, another new entry has been confirmed. But before Resi fans get too wild with excitement, this one is a mobile spin-off for iOS and Android called Resident Evil Survival Unit . It's a strategy game that somehow fits into the broader universe, even if it's not clear how at this point. We don't have a lot of concrete information at the moment, with the game set to be fully revealed in a showcase scheduled July 10 at 6pm ET, but we do know that it's being co-developed by Aniplex Inc and Korean developer Joycity. The latter is currently working on another strategy game called Disney Realm Breakers , with access to various Disney IP including Toy Story and The Incredibles . Joycity is also the studio behind Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War , a free-to-play real-time strategy game that has an average rating of 4.4 from 210 thousand reviews on the Google Play Store. Strategy is clearly the studio's favored genre, then, and in its announcement message for Resident Evil Survival Unit it promises the game "expands the global fanbase of Resident Evil to mobile, allowing players to enjoy the world of the series with a new approach that is different from the existing series." It was also confirmed in a press release that the mobile game is being developed in close collaboration to "ensure authenticity and quality." Resident Evil Requiem (the official name for what is technically Resident Evil 9 ) was announced back in June at SGF 25, and centers on a new character called Grace Ashcroft. For the first time in the series' history, both first-person and third-person gameplay perspectives will be an option from launch.
