I can’t wait to see “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle” hitting US screens soon, but it’s already creating waves in Japan, setting new records left and right! Known also as “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Chapter 1: Akaza Returns,” this movie marks the beginning of a thrilling trilogy that promises to explore the entire final story arc. As an avid fan, I’m on edge with anticipation!
The “Demon Slayer” series has become a monumental success and an unparalleled sensation in the realm of manga and anime. Yet, the Infinity Castle trilogy is raising the stakes even further.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Among the All-Time Top 10 Movies in Japan
As an ardent fan, I’m absolutely thrilled to share that the first “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” movie has been nothing short of a box office sensation! According to official reports, it has sold a staggering 12.5 million tickets and grossed an incredible 17.6 billion yen (approximately US$ 119.98 million) in just 17 days. This phenomenal success already places the movie among the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time in Japan!
Even more exciting is the comparison graphic by Oricon between “Akaza Returns” and “Mugen Train”. The graph indicates that our new movie is off to a much stronger start, hinting that it’s likely to surpass every record set by “Mugen Train” in due time. It’s an exciting time to be a Demon Slayer fan!
The animated film “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” is not only the highest-grossing movie in Japan at the moment, but it’s also the top-earning Japanese film worldwide, primarily due to its exceptional performance at the Japanese box office. If another Japanese movie named “Infinity Castle” outperforms “Mugen Train” domestically, it’s expected to also break records as the highest-grossing Japanese film globally.
When Will Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Be Released in the US?
- Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is set to be released in the US on September 12, 2025.
Enthusiastic fans worldwide can hardly wait to catch the newly announced film, which is set to make its grand entrance in multiple Asian nations this month. The highly anticipated release will grace screens in the US, Canada, and the UK on September 12, 2025, while Australian audiences get a head start on the 11th of that same month.
Following the extraordinary success of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie Mugen Train, global theater owners’ perspective towards anime has indeed shifted significantly. The upcoming release of Infinity Castle is anticipated to break new ground. Given its potential to set a new standard for theatrical anime, I believe it falls on Crunchyroll to ensure impressive outcomes.

However, whispers hint at the second movie premiering in 2027 and the third one being released in 2029. Additionally, it’s speculated that the Sunrise Countdown arc, the concluding part of the story, may be presented in a different format in the future.
