How a demon-slaying film is drawing Japan back to the cinemas

The pandemic has meant that empty cinema halls are now a common sight across the world. That is, except in Japan, where one film is single-handedly bringing audiences back to theatres.

It's a movie about a boy who's turned into a demon slayer. But that isn't the only thing he's slaying - Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train has also been making a killing at the Japanese box office - becoming the fastest film in Japanese cinema history, taking just 10 days to make 10 billion yen ($95.3m; £72m).

In doing so, it beat Japanese anime classic Spirited Away, which took 25 days to reach the same milestone. Some cinemas screened it more than 40 times a day.
