Japan's breakaway anime hit 'Demon Slayer' leads North American box office for second consecutive weekend


LOS ANGELES (Xinhua): The hit anime film "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle" topped the North American box office for the second weekend in a row with an estimated three-day cume of US$17.3 million, Xinhua reported Sunday, citing figures from the measurement firm Comscore.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, distributed by Sony-owned Crunchyroll, is the first of three films set to feature the climactic battle to round out the Demon Slayer anime saga.

The film, which set a record US$70-million debut last weekend in North America, has grossed US$104.7 million in the region through Sunday.

A newcomer, Universal's football-inspired horror film Him, opened in second place with US$13.5 million.

Rounding out the top three, Warner Bros and New Line's horror film The Conjuring: Last Rites took in US$12.95 million on its third weekend for a North American total of US$151.2 million. - Xinhua
