The first part of the “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” film series narrowly missed the all-time record when cinema screenings in Japan ended yesterday. We summarize the numbers for you below.
Predecessor remains front runner
Despite considerable efforts in recent weeks and the release of two exclusive shikishi with Hakuji and Koyuki on the last day of the screening for all visitors, “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” left Japanese cinemas on April 9, 2026 with “only” 40.13 billion yen (around 216 million euros).
It is now official that the previous film “Mugen Train” continues to take first place among the highest-grossing films of all time in Japan with an incredible box office result of 40.75 billion yen.
However, even though the cinema screenings have ended, studio ufotable announced that it will continue to show the film at ufotable Cinema, the studio cinema on Higashi-Shinmachi shopping street in Tokushima City.
Nevertheless, the film is likely to find its way into Crunchyroll’s streaming catalog soon. However, if you are waiting for the second part of the trilogy, you will probably have to be patient – after all, it is not scheduled to appear before 2027. Of course, we will keep you updated as usual.
