After premiering in Japan on July 18, 2025, and later globally, it has proven to be worthy of its hype and is projected to shatter several records during its theatrical run.

In North America, just like elsewhere, fans of the series “Demon Slayer” are eagerly awaiting the upcoming cinema release. Despite the movie, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Chapter 1: Akaza Returns, not arriving in theaters for a few more weeks, there’s strong anticipation that it will shatter numerous box office records once it does.

Infinity Castle Looks Set to Have a Historic Run in North America

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle is scheduled to debut in U.S cinemas on September 12, 2025. With weeks still to go before its release, the movie has already earned $10 million from advance ticket sales alone, a figure that’s expected to grow. To give some context, this is currently the highest pre-sale for an anime in the country. Infinity Castle has even surpassed the advance bookings of Mugen Train, a feat considering Mugen Train holds the record as the highest-grossing Japanese movie ever. It’s possible that Infinity Castle could shatter this record and reshape the anime industry.

According to early ticket sales, it’s likely that Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Chapter 1: Akaza Return will break numerous box office records in the coming weeks. The film’s popularity has not only boosted manga sales but has also placed it back on the Oricon Rankings for the first time in a while. With over 220 million copies sold, Demon Slayer is currently one of the most beloved mangas ever created. However, this may just be the start of something extraordinary, as the Infinity Castle storyline is planned to be split into two more films due for release in 2027 and 2029.

For Crunchyroll’s Mega and Ultimate subscription holders, a special movie screening kicks off on September 9. Over 250 cinemas across the nation will host this event.
