Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle breaks box office records with historic debut

As a hardcore gamer, I’ve got to say, I was absolutely blown away by the incredible opening of “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” in Japan! This movie smashed the previous record set by “Mugen Train,” and it’s not every day you witness history being made at the box office. It’s clear that this film is something truly special, and I can’t wait to see more of the thrilling action and captivating storytelling!

The latest addition to the popular anime series, titled Infinity Castle, has made a grand entrance into Japanese cinemas, boasting a remarkable 9.3/10 rating on IMDb and enthusiastic early reviews from fans who are impressed by its animation quality, emotional depth, and grandeur.

The movie initiates the dramatic climax of the series and is being praised as one of Ufotable’s top productions so far. As it follows the storyline post-Hashira Training arc and begins a trilogy that concludes the main storyline, anticipation was high, and the ticket sales reflected this.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle breaks records 

Based on Crunchyroll’s report, Infinity Castle made approximately 49.55 million USD and sold over 5.16 million tickets within a span of four days. The film’s earnings from its first three days amounted to about 37.42 million USD, breaking the record for the highest opening weekend gross in the Japanese box office history.

For the year 2025, the film ranks second in box office earnings in Japan, just behind Detective Conan: The One-Eyed Flashback. Additionally, a significant portion of its earnings – approximately $3.5 million – can be attributed to its showings in premium formats like IMAX.

Although Infinity Castle surpassed opening weekend earnings records, it’s yet to approach Demon Slayer: Mugen Train’s overall earnings in Japan. To date, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train holds the title as Japan’s highest-grossing anime film, amassing a total of ¥40.4 billion globally, which is roughly equivalent to $507 million USD.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but feel the excitement surging through me, knowing that Infinity Castle is all set for its worldwide launch on September 12! This game, with its explosive start, seems destined to conquer the global charts once again.
