The “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” has been a major hit within the franchise, shattering a significant new box office record with its recent update. The latest installment of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” returned to cinemas, launching the first part of a fresh trilogy based on the immense Infinity Castle arc from Koyoharu Gotoge’s original manga series. It has been incredibly successful in its initial release in Japan, and is gearing up for an international debut across multiple regions over the coming weeks. This can only mean that its popularity will continue to grow.

As an ardent fan, I’m thrilled to share that “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” has just surpassed another monumental achievement! Just weeks into its release in Japan, it had already secured a spot among the country’s top four highest-grossing films ever. Now, with recent updates confirming its success, it has officially dethroned “Titanic,” climbing up to become the third highest-grossing film in Japan’s box office history! The latest report from ufotable reveals a staggering new total that secured this incredible milestone for our beloved anime film.

Ufotable recently declared that the first chapter of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” known as “Akaza’s Return” in Japan, has surpassed 280.88 billion yen at the box office since its debut 38 days ago. With more than 19.83 million tickets sold within Japan alone, this new figure positions it as the third highest-grossing film in Japanese history, trailing only behind “Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train” (40.75 billion yen) and “Spirited Away” (31.68 billion yen). This is a remarkable achievement for the movie.

In the realm of anime, I’ve just witnessed “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” marking the beginning of an exciting new trilogy. This film promises to showcase the climactic battles between the remaining Demon Slayers and Muzan Kibutsuji’s formidable demon army. Given that this initial installment seems to primarily lay the groundwork for the epic encounters in the subsequent films, it hints at a promising future for the entire trilogy. Despite being potentially more preparatory than action-packed, its success alone suggests a richly rewarding journey ahead.

When Does Demon Slayer’s New Movie Come Out for the United States?

The anime movie “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” will premiere in the U.S. and Canada on September 12th, with tickets now available for purchase. With presale numbers already exceeding $20 million USD, it seems that the film is set to replicate its success in Japan in North America as well. The figures mentioned do not include potential additional revenue from premium or IMAX format ticket sales, suggesting that the global total could be even higher when all is said and done.

Based on the original manga “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” by Koyoharu Gotoge, the anime film “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” directed by Haruo Sotozaki for ufotable, is set to run for approximately two hours and 35 minutes. Fans can expect a worthwhile viewing experience with this extended runtime. Furthermore, notable actors like Channing Tatum from “Avengers: Doomsday” have joined the English dub cast as the voice of a new character named Keizo, while Rebecca Wang has been added as a new character named Koyuki.
