Anime Sensation Demon Slayer Targets Historic $1 Billion Milestone

As of October 7th, 2025, the anime film Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has solidified its position as a global box office juggernaut. The movie has now surpassed the worldwide haul of major blockbusters like How to Train Your Dragon, F1, and Superman, making it the highest-grossing anime film ever.

Infinity Castle's success is not limited to the global stage - the film is also making waves in North America. It has collected an impressive $124.6 million in the region so far, and industry experts predict it could earn between $130 million and $135 million by the end of its run. This would make Infinity Castle the highest-grossing international film ever in North America, surpassing the $128.5 million lifetime gross of the 2000 epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The anime sensation's momentum shows no signs of slowing down. In its fourth weekend, Infinity Castle earned a solid $3.5 million, marking the biggest fourth three-day weekend ever for an anime movie. This performance outpaced the $2.4 million fourth-weekend gross of the recent hit The Boy and the Heron, further solidifying Infinity Castle's dominance.

With its sights set on the coveted $1 billion worldwide milestone, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle continues to defy expectations and cement its status as a true global phenomenon.
