The latest on Demon Slayer Season 4's release indicates when the film, To the Hashira Training, will begin streaming.
Demon Slayer released another film in theaters this year, bridging the gap between Seasons 3 and (yet to be released) 4 of the anime.
It has earned $48.7 million at the worldwide box office, but its time in North American theaters is closing after raking in $17.2 million domestically.
Similar to Hollywood films in the 2020s, as soon as a film's theatrical run ends, audiences shift their attention to its imminent streaming release.
