Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Box Office Numbers Worldwide Could Overtake Fantastic Four 2025

by

Projected box office earnings for the anime movie “Demon Slayer Infinity Castle” are steadily increasing. The film has already had preliminary screenings in the U.S., and it’s expected to shatter numerous records during its opening weekend. Scheduled for nationwide release in the U.S. and many other countries on September 12, this first part of the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle arc has already grossed over $300 million worldwide before its debut in North America, South America, and Europe. With current estimates suggesting significant earnings outside of Asia, it seems the film is poised to surpass the global box office takings of Thunderbolts, Captain America: Brave New World, and potentially even The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

*Note: Thunderbolts refers to a Marvel Comics superhero team, not an individual film.

What are the latest Demon Slayer Infinity Castle box office projections?

In the United States and Canada, Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is estimated to generate approximately $73.2 million (ranging from $70 million to $85 million) in its initial three-day weekend from September 12 to 14. Over the course of its entire run, the film is anticipated to bring in earnings between $105 million and $150 million.

According to various reports from BoxOfficeTheory, these predictions are significantly higher than usual industry estimates. While standard forecasts predict the movie will gross over $35 million, an analysis by BoxOfficePro on September 5 suggests a potential revenue of $40-$50 million.

Anime films like Demon Slayer Infinity Castle are often hard for standard prediction models to anticipate due to their tendency to be front-loaded – meaning they attract a lot of viewers initially but may not sustain that momentum later on. This is because the movie is likely to appeal more to dedicated anime fans who have followed the series up to its finale arc, and less so to casual moviegoers or those unfamiliar with the show. Despite this, Demon Slayer Infinity Castle has received a very positive review of 98% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

Regardless of the initial predictions, the movie’s earnings of $73.2 million surpassed expectations by a significant margin, being over three times higher than the initial forecast of $17 million made in early August when box office tracking started. The presales for the movie have shattered records on Fandango and social media activity for the film has been equally impressive. Furthermore, promotional items such as Demon Slayer Infinity Castle popcorn buckets, character cups, premium collectible cards, and collectible tickets have all been met with overwhelming success.

To provide some perspective on these figures, it’s important to note that Demon Slayer Infinity Castle has currently grossed approximately $316 million globally, as reported by The Numbers up until September 11th. A significant portion of this sum, around $213 million, was earned in Japan. The rest of the earnings, totaling about $103 million, came from various other Asian territories such as South Korea ($30.8 million), Taiwan ($23.6 million), Hong Kong ($10.8 million), and Thailand ($9.4 million).

The $316 million earned so far by Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is nearly on par with the worldwide grosses of movies like Thunderbolts ($382 million), Captain America: Brave New World ($415 million), and The Fantastic Four: First Steps ($515 million). This implies that if the film manages to secure just the lower estimate of $105 million domestically in total, it will surpass Captain America: Brave New World.

Furthermore, let’s not forget that the movie will also debut (around September 12) in Latin America, South America, and Europe, regions where the anime series enjoys a massive following. Specifically, it’ll launch in France and Belgium on September 17, followed by Germany and Austria on September 25. Given its initial performance, we won’t be taken aback if it outperforms Fantastic Four 2025 to become the ninth highest-grossing film of 2025 after its opening weekend.
