Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Dominates Japan Box Office for Third Straight Weekend

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Stays No.1 for Third Consecutive Weekend at Japan Box Office

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle continues to dominate the Japanese box office, holding its position at the top spot for the third consecutive weekend. According to official box office tracker Kogyo Tsushinsha, the film earned a robust 2.457 billion yen (approximately 16.75 million USD) from 1,739,600 admissions during the weekend of August 1–3, 2025.

The third weekend’s performance showed a modest 21% decline from the previous weekend, a typical trend for major theatrical releases. Nonetheless, it was more than sufficient to maintain its No. 1 status in the competitive Japanese movie market.

Strong Viewership and Record-Breaking Earnings

As confirmed by the official Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba X (formerly Twitter) account on August 4, the film has reached an astounding cumulative gross of 17.63 billion yen (roughly 120 million USD) with 12,558,582 tickets sold in just 17 days since its debut on July 18. This impressive milestone places Infinity Castle at 112% of the three-week revenue total of its predecessor Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, which premiered in 2020 and remains a historic success in Japanese cinema.

Infinity Castle has already made headlines for becoming the fastest Japanese film to surpass the 10 billion yen benchmark, breaking previous records held by both domestic and foreign titles. Its continued performance underscores the sustained popularity of the Kimetsu no Yaiba franchise and the strong engagement of its fanbase.

Top Ten Rankings and Animation Milestones

With its current box office total, Infinity Castle now holds the 10th spot in the all-time box office rankings in Japan. Moreover, it has officially become the 7th highest-grossing Japanese animated film of all time. It surpassed the 2022 anime film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK, which previously earned 16.48 billion yen (112.2 million USD) during its successful theatrical run.

This achievement means that Japanese live-action titles have now been entirely displaced from Japan’s all-time Top 10 list, which now features seven Japanese anime films. These developments highlight the significant shift in audience preferences toward high-quality animated content in Japan’s domestic market.

Weekend Box Office Performance (August 1–3, 2025)

During the weekend in focus, Infinity Castle was the sole Japanese animated film featured in the Top 10. Another anime title, Uta no Prince-sama The Movie: TABOO NIGHT XXXX, had fallen out of the Top 10, following a brief re-entry into the eighth position in the previous weekend.

The weekend rankings were based on ticket sales, with Kogyo Tsushinsha, eiga.com, and official franchise accounts providing consistent and verified statistics. The strong showing by Infinity Castle further illustrates the evolving strength of Japanese animation in the broader cinematic landscape.

Production, Staff, and Voice Cast

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle is produced by the renowned animation studio ufotable, known for its high-quality visual production and dynamic fight choreography. The studio has been behind all previous adaptations of the Kimetsu no Yaiba manga, creating a consistent style and narrative tone that fans have come to expect and appreciate.

The film features the return of its all-star voice cast, including:

  • Natsuki Hanae as Tanjiro Kamado
  • Akari Kito as Nezuko Kamado
  • Hiro Shimono as Zenitsu Agatsuma
  • Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Inosuke Hashibira

The direction is helmed by Haruo Sotozaki, who has directed every past season and film of the franchise. The character designs are once again led by Akira Matsushima, providing continuity with previous story arcs. Music is composed by Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina, adding depth to the emotional and action-packed scenes.

Release and Distribution

Infinity Castle premiered in Japanese theaters on July 18, 2025, with wide distribution across the country. While an international release date has not yet been officially confirmed, the global popularity of the franchise suggests that announcements are likely forthcoming. Past films were distributed globally through platforms like Crunchyroll and Aniplex, and similar release strategies are expected for this installment.

The film continues the adaptation of Koyoharu Gotouge’s original manga and covers the climactic events of the Infinity Castle Arc, where the Demon Slayer Corps confronts the strongest demons in Muzan Kibutsuji’s fortress. This arc is one of the most anticipated in the series for both its narrative stakes and escalating action sequences.

Conclusion

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle has firmly cemented itself as one of the most successful anime films in recent Japanese cinema history. With over 17.6 billion yen in total earnings and a Top 10 all-time ranking secured, the film stands as a testament to the continuing success of Ufotable’s adaptation and the lasting appeal of the Demon Slayer franchise.

As the film continues its theatrical run, audiences in Japan and abroad eagerly await further updates on global releases and subsequent parts of the finale arc. The legacy of Kimetsu no Yaiba continues to grow, setting new milestones in both storytelling and box office performance.
