The movie *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle* is a huge success, recently breaking a 25-year-old box office record in the United States. This film continues the story from the *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba* TV series and is the first of three planned movies that will cover the Infinity Castle arc from the original manga. After a successful release in Japan earlier this summer, the movie has quickly gained popularity worldwide and continues to perform well.
The anime film *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle* has become a global phenomenon, and it’s achieved remarkable success in the United States. Recently, its box office earnings reached a new high, making it the highest-grossing international film ever in the U.S., surpassing the 25-year-old record previously held by *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*.
Demon Slayer Surpasses a 25 Year Old Record in the U.S.
According to recent box office reports from Deadline, *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle* has become the fifth highest-grossing film of the year, earning an estimated $648 million worldwide. In North America alone, the film has brought in $128.6 million, surpassing the $128.1 million earned by *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon* upon its release. This achievement solidifies *Demon Slayer*’s place in film history, especially considering its previous success as one of Japan’s highest-grossing films. The film continues to break records and is expected to become even more successful in the future.
With *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle* continuing to play in theaters around the world, its popularity is likely to grow even more. This means fans who want to see it will need to go to a cinema. As long as the film remains successful in theaters, there’s little reason for it to become available for home viewing anytime soon.
What Does This Mean for Demon Slayer’s Movie Future?
Crunchyroll’s Mitchel Berger, who leads their theatrical releases, has confirmed that *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle* won’t be available to stream this year. He strongly encourages fans to see it in cinemas, stating it will only be shown in theaters throughout 2025. “If you want to watch it,” he said, “the theater is the only place you’ll be able to.”
Fans likely have a long wait ahead of them for the remaining films in the Infinity Castle series. If the next movie was coming out as soon as next year, we’d be seeing previews and marketing materials by now. It appears the team isn’t in a hurry to release the sequels, which is positive for the filmmakers who can focus on quality. However, those eager to continue the story will be disappointed by the delay.
