In just over two weeks, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle has now become the 10th highest-grossing film of all-time in Japan, after the official accounts announced the latest box office figures on August 3. Additionally, the new Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime film is now the highest-grossing film of the year at the Japanese box office, taking over the spot previously held by Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback . As of August 3, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle brought in 17.63 billion yen (US$119.26 million) on the back of 12.55 million ticket sales. This makes it the highest-grossing film of 2025 in Japan, passing Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback 's 14.4 billion yen box office run this year , as well as the 10th highest-grossing movie in Japan of all-time , pushing Bayside Shakedown 2 out of the Top 10 for the first time since it was released in 2003. The new box office record also makes it the seventh highest-grossing anime film of all-time in Japan. Above it in the historical charts is Howl's Moving Castle at 19.6 billion yen in ninth place, and Princess Mononoke in eighth place with 20.1 billion yen. These landmarks for Infinity Castle mimic those of Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train during the same time frame. In 2020, Mugen Train also became the 10th highest-grossing film of all time in Japan in just 17 days , though it did that with only 15.79 billion yen (US$150.8 million). In terms of box office takings, Infinity Castle is nearly 2 billion yen higher than Mugen Train in the same time frame, continuing to show how historic both these box office runs are.

Crunchyroll describes Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle as such: Tanjiro Kamado – a boy who joined an organization dedicated to hunting down demons called the Demon Slayer Corps after his younger sister Nezuko was turned into a demon. While growing stronger and deepening his friendships and bonds with fellow corps members, Tanjiro has battled many demons with his comrades – Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. Along the way, his journey has led him to fight alongside the Demon Slayer Corps’ highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira, including Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku aboard the Mugen Train, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui within the Entertainment District, as well as Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji at the Swordsmith Village. As the Demon Slayer Corps members and Hashira engaged in a group strength training program, the Hashira Training, in preparation for the forthcoming battle against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion. With the head of the Demon Corps in danger, Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters but are plunged into a deep descent to a mysterious space by the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji. The destination of where Tanjiro and Demon Slayer Corps have fallen is the demons’ stronghold – the Infinity Castle. And so, the battleground is set as the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons ignites. Sources: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba on X (formerly Twitter) , Oricon
