Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie Poised to Shatter Box Office Records
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has been one of the biggest anime series in recent years, capturing fans' hearts worldwide. Its popularity peaked during the release of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, which became the highest-grossing movie in Japanese history. Now, the hype is building again with the upcoming Infinity Castle movie trilogy.
The Infinity Castle arc will be split into three movies, adapting the manga's final two storylines—the Infinity Castle and Sunrise Countdown arcs. As the story approaches its epic conclusion, fans can expect thrilling battles and emotional moments.
The first movie in the trilogy will be released in theaters on July 18, 2025. While the release dates for the other two films have yet to be revealed, the entire trilogy is expected to take a few years to complete.
So, why is everyone expecting these movies to break records?
It all goes back to the success of the Mugen Train. Released in 2020, it wasn’t just a hit—it became the biggest movie ever at the Japanese box office. Of course, some unique factors worked in its favor, like being released during the pandemic, when fewer movies were in theaters, and at a time when Demon Slayer was at its peak popularity.
Even though the upcoming trilogy might face tougher competition now, the excitement around the Infinity Castle arc is huge. With a loyal fanbase and a gripping storyline, the new movies are expected to draw massive crowds and could set new records once again.
But what about the anime series?
Fans are wondering if these arcs will also be adapted into an anime season, just like Mugen Train was later included in Demon Slayer Season 2. While there’s no official confirmation yet, it wouldn’t be surprising if the studio decides to bring the Infinity Castle story to TV screens too — after all, the series' success is too big to ignore.
For now, all eyes are on the first Infinity Castle movie coming next year. One thing’s for sure — Demon Slayer is far from over, and its next chapter is about to make a big impact.
