The latest anime movie releasing in 2024, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training, is set for a wide theatrical release.
Ufotable is now taking Demon Slayer to the big screen for a third time since releasing its first season. The method to the madness is each film bridges the gap between two TV seasons while showing new footage for the first time in theaters.
The Movie: Mugen Train led into Season 2, To the Swordsmith Village transitioned into Season 3, and To the Hashira Training will introduce fans to the chapter being shown in the upcoming Season 4.
Where To Watch Demon Slayer 2024
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training opens in North America on Friday, February 23. Early screenings are available in many theaters on Thursday, February 22.
The 2024 Demon Slayer movie is expected to play on IMAX screens and other Premium Large-Format screens.
It's estimated that To the Hashira Training will open in between 1,600-1,800 theaters in the United States and Canada.
Another important note is that two versions will play in domestic theaters: one in Japanese with English subtitles and another dubbed-over version with English-speaking characters.
