Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Box Office on Its Way to Beat Superman

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has quickly emerged as a global box office force. The film opened to massive domestic numbers and strong international sales, surpassing several major superhero titles of 2025. With momentum continuing overseas, analysts now watch to see if it can become the year’s top-grossing release.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’s box office likely to beat all 2025 superhero movies

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle opened on September 12, 2025, with a domestic debut of $70.6 million across 3,315 theaters.

The second weekend box office dropped 75.5%, earning $17.3 million but lifting its domestic total to $104.7 million. At this point, the film became the highest-grossing anime release in North America, surpassing earlier franchise entries. International markets have contributed $450.2 million, bringing the worldwide gross to $555 million (via Box Office Mojo).

The film follows the Demon Slayer Corps as Tanjiro and the Hashira face Upper Rank demons inside the Infinity Castle. It marks the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji. The movie runs for 2 hours and 35 minutes. Sony Pictures Releasing distributed it with an R rating, making it one of the longest anime adaptations released in theaters.

In its opening frame, Infinity Castle outperformed its competition. Justin Tipping’s Him debuted with $13.5 million, while The Conjuring: Last Rites earned $12.95 million in its third weekend.

Other titles in the top 10 included The Long Walk ($6.3 million), Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale ($6.3 million), and A Big Bold Beautiful Journey ($3.5 million). Weapons closed out the chart with $1.26 million, bringing its total to $149.7 million.

Industry trackers note the steep domestic drop. However, international markets pushed Infinity Castle past the lifetime grosses of Captain America 4, Thunderbolts*, and Fantastic Four. With the latest jump in totals, estimates suggest the film could overtake all 2025 superhero releases within the next two weeks if the trend continues.

The film’s momentum highlights the growing global strength of anime franchises at the box office. Its worldwide revenue trajectory, backed by strong overseas demand, positions it among the year’s biggest earners across all genres.
