Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Shatters Anime Box Office Records

As of October 21st, 2025, the anime film Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is showing no signs of slowing down at the box office. The movie has earned an impressive $1.3 million in its sixth weekend in the United States, the highest sixth-weekend haul ever for any anime film. This comes despite a 43% dip from the previous weekend's $2.2 million, demonstrating the film's remarkable staying power.

Globally, Infinity Castle has already amassed an astounding $665.8 million, and that number is expected to rise even further as the movie continues to gain momentum. In Japan, its home market, the film has displayed remarkable consistency, earning $1.6 million in its 14th weekend with only a 15% decline. It has now reached 25.2 million admissions in the country, making it the second-highest-grossing film in Japan's history and the second-most-watched film ever.

With this kind of steady performance, the $1 billion milestone no longer seems out of reach for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. The film is yet to be released in China, the second-largest international market, where analysts expect it to earn at least $100 million, pushing its worldwide total closer to or beyond $800 million. Its success in the United States, where it is expected to reach $135 million, further solidifies its position as a global phenomenon that has rewritten the place of anime in the world of cinema.
