Lol, no. Demon Slayer in Japan is super popular. Attack on titan can't beat it.
"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).

If AOT received enough screening worldwide then YES. Other then that KSY is super popular in Japan so there AOT can't beat it.

Rating-wise: maybe if they change the pacing since that’s the most common complaint about the ending. Profit-wise: hell no, it’s the highest grossing anime film by pretty far in both Japan and worldwide

Not yet anyway. Demon Slayer is a completely unprecedented cultural phenomenon in Japan. It sold more copies in 2020 than any manga has ever sold in a single year by a huge margin. You can add together One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach’s sales in each of their best years and it would total about half of what Demon Slayer sold in 2020. It’s the 8th best selling manga of all time, the only one in the top 10 that started in the 21st century, and the shortest of the top 10 by quite a bit, meaning each individual volume of Demon Slayer has sold more than each volume of every other series in the top 10, including One Piece. Do I think it deserves all this success? No, while the anime’s production values make it worthy of the hype it gets, the manga’s nothing special. But it’s just a fact that it’s so popular now that Attack on Titan has no chance of beating it (by the way, AoT is the 15th best selling manga, with average sales of 2.94 million per volume compared to Demon Slayer’s 6.52)

Mugen train had a lot of factors contributing to it's Box office earings. COVID season, lack of good movie during that year, the phenomenonal animation, ost, marketing, that unexpected ending, easy to understand plot. The best AoT could do will be close to Evengalion 3.0 Box office. That's an optimistic estimate at best. Even Fate HF 3 couldn't beat it.

No, the story at the end is trash. Pacing is way to fast making a movie means they won't add any details. So, the problem of the story stays.

Let's not forget the plot armor and event of the last chapters made the decision made while making the previous chapters pointless. Unless people look aside the writing problem and just enjoy it then it would have a chance. But Demon Slayer is way more popular than AOT.

Will it beat Mugen Train? Doubt it.

AOT manga currently has less sales than Demon Slayer, by ~50 mil. Manga's ending reception was not very good afaik. Mugen Train's sales are actually ridiculous. ~10 bil yen ahead 2nd place (20% or so), only other anime movies in the past decade that come close --- dont exist. Your Name and Weathering with you are the only things "close" Doraemon in 2014 is the next closest thing and it's not even half of Demon Slayer numbers. + Covid, less people going to theaters. Actual cheat code level numbers imo.

As much as I'd like to see another anime movie take that spot, I don't think it's possible unless there's some sort of insane global advertising campaign and international release.

---
Ranking? I think it'd easily rank top 30 in terms of highest grossing anime movies? I'd want to put it higher, but I haven't read it and idk how bad the ending actually is.

Most probably it won't, because for demon slayer people had to watch only one season before the movie. But for AoT they have to watch all the four seasons before they watch the movie, and by the time the movie gets released most of the ppl probably wouldn't have caught up with the series.

You will find that international market usually mean shit. People need to invest in the story first, you don't just watch the last movie of a franchise which most people don't. Only hardcore anime fans care about AoT at this point which not nearly enough make a movie to break box office record.

How many people gonna go see the movie? Screening doesn't matter if there no one go see it. It been the last movie of a franchise especially is a big turn off for a lot of people since you need prior investment before seeing it first. SO what you left with is the AoT fans which isn't enough to break any record unless they all rewatch the movie 10 times. Anime movie like this only attract anime fans in the US and even that it won't even attract casula fans.

Do people understand the popularity difference between AOT and DS? DS owns japan, yes it owns a country, AOT as proven agai n and again, is internationally the most popular anime, its the only anime that is viewed by non anime watchers. It's the only anime in the Guinness world record as the most popular anime worldwide. A movie, would own DS globally. And definitely beat it's bix box office. This weeks episode had more then 2m concurrent tweets. DS hype episode was also airing...and the difference was world's apart

Definitely a possibility! I wouldn’t say a hard no considering AoT is popular internationally. I mean servers were down when part 2 first aired. Idk how popular it is in Japan but whether it be a 6 months or a year, its international release wouldn’t be far behind the numbers of Demon Slayer. id love to see it beat those numbers! It would be after all, a movie of the ending, if we don’t get 131+ there’s some deaths and scenes lots of people would want to see animated plus the opportunity to see on the big screen. But yea a good chunk of numbers to beat Mugen are needed from Japan.

You be surprise that most Western anime fans aren't that big on anime movie. Meanwhile AoT popularity in japan had already gone down so don't expect it will break KnY movie record.

dragon ball broly worldwide release box office is the final Target Aot can achieve imo.

I have no idea how big DB fanbase is plus knowing that AOT is current record holder for being the most in-demand anime TV show I came up with that conclusion that in case of AOT thinks could be different.
