Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Breaks Records in Japan
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is following in the footsteps of Mugen Train by setting records in Japan, as intended by all those responsible for adapting the latest narrative arc of Koyoharu Gotouge’s work.
The new movie managed to break Mugen Train’s records, but it has now been reported that it has surpassed Japanese records. By raising 10 billion yen in 8 days (58 million euros), it became the fastest film to reach that amount in Japanese cinemas. Furthermore, it is ranked 29th on the list of the highest-grossing films in Japanese cinema history.
Continued Success and Cultural Impact
After achieving this result in the first 8 days of screening, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle continued to attract audiences, with thousands of fans returning to the theaters to watch the film again. In the first 12 days of screening, the film has already reached 12.87 billion yen (75 million euros), positioning it well to become the biggest success of 2025 in Japanese cinemas.
Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback achieved a revenue of 14.59 billion yen (85 million euros) in Japanese box offices, representing the biggest success of 2025. However, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is well positioned to become the top film of 2025.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is not just a movie premiere, but a major cultural event for the Japanese, who are going to the theaters more than once to see the new film created by Toho and Aniplex, for which we still have to wait for over a month.
Impact on International Cinema
More than just captivating the Japanese audience, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is drawing attention away from major Hollywood releases. Films like Superman and Fantastic Four are taking a backseat, as this Japanese animation is the sensation in Japanese theaters.
