Additionally, Oricon does not include sales from Ufotable. Ufotable confirmed this info: https://twitter.com/ufotable/status/819109018224377857

Thus, the real number is definitely higher.

We may never know the true sales number from Ufotable because Ufotable will unlikely reveal how many copies they sell. First, as a private company, Ufotable does not have legal liabilities to report its revenue to the public. Second, with the "tax scandal" in 2019-2020, the company may avoid attention from tax officials by not disclosing their sales.

On the other hand, Aniplex may give a hint about the sales because the company is a subsidiary of Sony. The latter needs to show as much revenue as possible in their financial statements to please their shareholders. We may have the approximate sales next year when Sony releases their financial data.

At this point, the actual surprise is if it doesn't breaks a recorded or anything unimaginable.

Holy sh*t half a million sales?! And here I thought the hype already calmed down cuz the movie came out year ago but HOLY SMOKES that's not a normal sale for an anime BD sales! Yep I think this is the first time.. GG ufotable, GG

Now that both the movie and blu ray sales are insanely successful, I wish they now adapt te rest of manga. Imagine that they will literally break the BD sales in every season of demon slayer they released :")

Insane numbers, at this point i wouldnt even be surprised if the manga reached 480 million or hell even beat one piece (tho that doesnt seem possible but again this is KnY we are talking about).
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

As we know, these numbers do not include sales from Ufotable and stores that do not cooperate with Oricon.

That's insane, I just watched it for free and it is definitely is not worth around 40$ let alone 90$ (limited edition). I don't understand why so many people love it so much.

They really be getting the bag though, holy shit.

Totally deserved. This movie was a hell of an experience.

If the ufotable shop added their sales with Oricon, I can see week 1 having over 2 million sales.

"I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author).

most probably. I hope they will use this money for the future seasons of DS n take DS animation quality to the utmost limits.
