Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle – Akaza’s Return has taken the global box office by storm, shattering records and setting new milestones. The film has not only surpassed The Mugen Train but also made history by becoming the highest-grossing international film ever in the United States. Let’s take a closer look at its phenomenal box office journey worldwide.
In Japan, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle continues to perform strongly despite fierce competition from Chainsaw Man, 5 Centimeter Per Second, and Kokuho.
According to industry tracker Luiz Fernando, Akaza’s Return earned $1.9 million during its third weekend, witnessing a 37% drop from the previous week due to multiple local releases.
With this, the film’s total domestic collection in Japan has soared to $245.8 million (¥36.25 billion). It has now registered over 25.1 million admissions, making it the second most-watched film ever at the Japanese box office, trailing only behind The Mugen Train.
The film’s performance in the US has been nothing short of historic. As per the latest figures, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has amassed $128.6 million in the American market.
With this milestone, Haruo Sotozaki’s masterpiece has officially surpassed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ($128.1 million), becoming the highest-grossing international film in US box office history.
This achievement cements the global appeal of the Demon Slayer franchise and demonstrates the ever-growing audience for Japanese anime films in Western markets.
Combining its earnings from Japan, the US, and other territories like South Korea and Taiwan, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has accumulated $655 million worldwide.
The film’s overseas gross alone stands at $280.6 million, highlighting its exceptional global dominance. With such numbers, Akaza’s Return now ranks as the fifth highest-grossing film of 2025 at the worldwide box office.
Its next target is Jurassic World Rebirth, which stands at $867.9 million, and if the current trend continues, Infinity Castle might soon climb to the fourth position.
