The movie titled “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba—The Infinity Castle,” also recognized as “Part 1” or “Chapter 1: Akaza’s Return,” is now playing in Japan. It has surpassed numerous records, including outpacing the speed at which “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” reached a box office total of 10 billion yen.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but marvel at the extraordinary success of the latest Demon Slayer movie! The speed and scale at which it’s been making waves have truly pushed the boundaries, leaving me in awe as to what unprecedented heights this masterpiece might reach. Already, there’s a massive movement among fans like myself, urging for this film to shatter records and etch its name into the annals of Japanese box office history!
Demon Slayer Expected to Set New Records
- Demon Slayer Infinity Castle has already earned over 12 billion yen (80 million dollars) at the Japanese box office.
- Fans want it to surpass 50 billion yen.
Within just 10 days of its debut, the opening film of the “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” trilogy has raked in an impressive 12.87 billion yen at Japanese box offices. Since July 18, 2025, a staggering 9.1 million tickets have been sold, surpassing the earnings of “Mugen Train” during its first 10 days.
Now, spectators are dubbing Akaza as the “next billion-dollar man,” anticipating that the film will surpass this extraordinary milestone. The moniker is also a nod to Mugen Train, which exceeded 40 billion yen at the Japanese box office after a fan initiative aimed at making Rengoku the “40 billion yen man.
When Will Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Be Released Worldwide?
Starting August onwards, the film is set to debut in international cinemas, initially screening in multiple Asian nations. On September 11, 2025, it will make its Australian debut. In the US, UK, and Canada, the premiere will take place a day later, specifically on September 12. The movie will likely hit various European and Latin American countries around the same time as its US release, or slightly afterwards. Although it may not shatter records outside Japan, it’s expected to outperform “Mugen Train.”
For the very first time, viewers will have an immersive opportunity to explore the intricate movements of characters within the vast Infinity Castle on a grand cinema screen. The freedom to roam through this expansive space promises an engaging and entertaining adventure that I believe fans will thoroughly enjoy.

Regarding the second and third films, no concrete details have been shared yet. However, whispers indicate that Sony might release a new film every two years, suggesting the second film could come out in 2027, with the last one following in 2029. Initially, fans presumed that the Final Arc would span across all three movies. But due to the tempo of the first movie, there’s speculation that the Sunrise Countdown arc might become a fourth film or perhaps form part of the fifth season instead.
Demon Slayer is available to stream on Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed in many languages.
