The anime film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle has opened and has hit remarkable box-office success. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter’s early projections, it was predicted that Demon Slayer would open $35 million to $40 million domestically. However, it has now grossed approximately $730 million globally. Some hotspots are in China, where the film made over $52 million, and that milestone has contributed significantly to its performance. The film’s worldwide box office stands at $729,960,418, with a domestic premiere in Japan totaling $133,916,409 and an international box office of $596,044,009. Infinity Castle has become the top-grossing animated film of the year, as well as the biggest September animated debut of all time, not adjusted for inflation. It has also surpassed Demon Slayer: Mugen Train and is now the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time.
The successful release is partially due to the strategy of the release. In July 2025, the film launched in Japan and was later released internationally. It debuted in the U.S. on September 12th, 2025. The film’s runtime is 155 minutes, and it is rated R due to bloody violence. In terms of the film’s box office performance, the opening weekend in Japan totaled $70,611,098, which would end up being almost 53% of its total domestic gross—the domestic revenue is roughly 18.3% of its worldwide gross. It is important to note that Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is part of a larger series, the Demon Slayer franchise; Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has generated over $1.3 billion at the box office across all its films.
The film has not only been extremely successful in its home market but has also achieved strong international results. Both the China and Japan launches gave the film a major push toward the nearly $730 million global total, solidifying its status as a box-office hit.
