“Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” is achieving significant international success prior to its U.S. release on September 12, 2025. The film, the first installment of a trilogy concluding the series, has already generated impressive figures during its limited release in Japan and other Asian markets. Distributed by Sony Pictures through Crunchyroll, the movie is projected to earn between $35 million to $60 million in its opening weekend in the U.S.
Since its July launch in Japan, “Infinity Castle” has shattered several box office records, including opening day and weekend grosses, and has rapidly climbed to become Japan’s second highest-grossing anime film, surpassing “Spirited Away.” It held the number one spot at the Japanese box office for six consecutive weeks, grossing $273 million globally, with notable performance in South Korea, where it earned over $30 million.
Advance ticket sales in the U.S. have set new records for anime films, outpacing prior standards held by “Jujutsu Kaisen 0.” Predictions indicate that “Infinity Castle” might exceed the $31 million opening weekend record set by “Pokemon: The First Movie.” With premium screenings planned at 3,300 locations, the film could solidify anime’s presence as a formidable box office player in Western markets. The film features both Japanese audio with English subtitles and an English dub; early screenings have already heightened anticipation among fans.
