Mitchell, welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me.

It's a pleasure to be here.

It has done exceptionally well.

We're incredibly happy with what we've been able to do.

We just opened this weekend in the U.S.

at $70 million, which is fairly amazing.

I think it's the highest opening day for an anime film ever in the U.S., the highest opening weekend for an anime film ever in the U.S., the highest September opening for any animation ever in the U.S.,

and the highest opening for an R-rated animation film.

So lots of records that we've broken there.

But even beyond that, I mean, we had $29 million in Latin America.

We did $17 million in Europe, over $5 million in India.

It's just been amazing to see the fans' reaction to this film around the world.

Anything.

No animated film has ever opened bigger in the month of September than Demon Slayer in the U.S.

You know, we knew that the fans were there.

I am always, I wouldn't say surprised.

I'm always gratified to see just how deep that love is.

So I knew we had something special.

I was incredibly happy to see how special it was.
