Infinity Castle Box Office: Demon Slayer Crosses $555M Worldwide

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Infinity Castle has officially become the highest-grossing anime feature in history, with its global box office earnings exceeding $555 million. The film dethrones its 2020 predecessor, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, solidifying the franchise's status as a dominant force in international cinema.

According to official data from industry tracker Box Office Mojo, the film's monumental success is the result of a coordinated global release by distributors Toho/Aniplex in Japan and Crunchyroll/Sony in international markets. This strategy has resulted in over 55 million admissions worldwide.

In a historic achievement for the anime fandom, Infinity Castle became the first anime film to gross over $100 million at the North American box office, with current total exceeding $104 million. It also set a new precedent by securing the number one spot at the U.S. box office for two consecutive weekends.

In Japan, the film has demonstrated immense drawing power, earning over $224.5 million from 23 million ticket sales. It now stands as the second-highest-grossing film of all time in the country, trailing behind its predecessor, Mugen Train. Infinity Castle has also seen record-breaking openings in several European markets, including France and Germany.

This success is a culmination of years of momentum for the franchise. The manga itself has over 150 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling series in history. The anime series, which first aired in 2019, was a global phenomenon that introduced millions to the heart-wrenching journey of Kamado Tanjiro.

For fans waiting eagerly, the best news is yet to come. Producers have confirmed that Infinity Castle, which landed in theaters on September 12, 2025, is just the first installment of a planned cinematic trilogy that will adapt the story's final chapters in an epic big-screen showdown.

The success of Infinity Castle is seen as a significant milestone, highlighting the growing influence and commercial viability of anime in the global mainstream film market.
