While James Gunn’s Superman successfully kicked off the new DCU, the movie didn’t perform as well financially as hoped. Currently, the Demon Slayer film is expected to surpass its box office earnings.
The newest film in the popular animated series is currently breaking box office records globally, and its earnings over the third weekend have brought Infinity Castle very close to matching Superman’s total lifetime box office revenue.
Superman’s loss against Demon Slayer shows the state of Superhero movies
After earning $19.2 million during its third week in theaters, Box Office Mojo reports that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle has now reached a total of $605.4 million worldwide. This is a significant achievement for the film.
It’s pretty remarkable to see how things are shaping up at the box office. While the new Superman film, starring David Corenswet, has earned a respectable $615.6 million, I predict the Demon Slayer movie is on track to surpass that number. Considering Superman was arguably the most hyped superhero movie of 2025, this really highlights just how strong Demon Slayer’s performance is.
Actually, James Gunn’s newest film has already been outearned by six other movies this year. Currently, Superman is the seventh highest-grossing movie of 2025, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle is predicted to move ahead of it soon. Here’s a list of the films that have made more money worldwide than Superman:
- Ne Zha 2 – $2.15 billion+
- Lilo & Stitch – $1.04 billion+
- A Minecraft Movie – $957.8 million
- Jurassic World Rebirth – $867.1 million
- How to Train Your Dragon – $634.9 million
- F1 the Movie – $626.2 million
Overall, 2025 wasn’t a strong year for superhero films, and even Marvel movies didn’t perform as well as hoped. Besides Superman, only The Fantastic Four: First Steps managed to earn over $500 million at the box office. Captain America: Brave New World finished its theatrical run with $415.1 million, while Thunderbolts* brought in $382.4 million.
