It's for both dub & sub.
Don't waste your money, though. It's just one new episode tied to two of the last episodes from the Entertainment Arc.

While true, getting to see one of the bigger spectacles of the Entertainment District arc on the big screen was pretty cool.

The theater I was in was 3/4 capacity for a 7:20 p.m. Friday showing, and there were multiple showings that day, so I expected a pretty big number. Topping $10 mil is quite the feat for an anime movie in the U.S., though.

The first week of showings were quite booked in my area on avg 80 percent full.

Although a few people have been complaining that they were misled or ripped off as they expected this to be like mugen train rather than a recap. The problem was not just here but also in other nations. i pretty much knew it was like that just based on the trailer and synopsis.

Apparently they can't bother to read the synopsis or watch the trailer Anime hyper.

Still i thought that they would just re-edit the scenes together to make it more flow as a whole story rather than literally the episodes with their intros and end credits. i did not mind it but it was weird even for a standard recap-new footage movie.

Yeah, I knew it was a recap but they were REALLY lazy, especially with the S2 credits playing in full right before the first episode of S3. It’s a fun visual to see those fights on the big screen but it is not essential.

And yet it still bagged $10 million.

For me, as a huge fan of Demon Slayer, it was well worth going to see. I love watching anime on the big screen and it was great to watch the first episode of the Swordsmith Village ahead of broadcast.
