Infiniti Castle shattered the main box office

If it is not clear that the anime has become a greater part of the prevailing culture, then it should be now. That is because “Slayer Demon: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle”, the latest cinematic introduction in the very successful Japanese animation concession, has made a history. It is now alone as the highest anime movie in the box office, as it exceeded the year 2020 “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba: Mugen Train”.

“Infinity Castle” topped the local box office for a second consecutive weekend for $ 17.3 million. Although this was huge 75 % decrease from the opening of the huge box office of $ 70.6 millionIt was sufficient to stick to the upper center of the second frame. This was not a small part because the “HIM” that Jordan produced “was” less than expectations (made only $ 13.5 million in North America), as he did a “beautiful, bold journey” (only $ 3.5 million). More importantly, though, the last batch of “Satan Slair” is still a huge blow around the world.

In fact, the film achieved an additional 44.5 million dollars, and thus its current global average is $ 555 million. This precedes the “MUGEN TRAIN”, which achieved $ 506 million between 2020 and 2021, which was largely lost in general for Hollywood. When the former movie “Demon Slayer” has become the box office is very unexpectedThere was also a feeling that the tide was turning into anime in the wider cultural field. This is not denied. To this end, “Infinity Castle” has now achieved $ 104.7 million locally and is the only moving movie that passes the $ 100 million brand in the United States in 2025 so far.

“Infinity Castle” has already been a great success in the original Japan, as it has achieved more than 200 million dollars so far. But more importantly, the film plays like gangs around the world, with more than 60 % of the total total outside North America so far.

Of course, Animi has always had a loyal audience, even in the United States, the model has really accelerated popularity in recent years. While the 2001 “SERIDED AWAY” movie is the fourth highest anime movie ever in the world at $ 395 million, with all the first three posts in that list during the past decade, including “Your name” for the year 2016 ($ 405 million). The signs were also present, like when The “boy and construction” was unexpectedly topped the local box office in 2023 On its way to $ 293 million worldwide.

These films may not be very popular as Marvel films, but they are undoubtedly a height. Hollywood can no longer delete it as a meaningless specialist or transient imagination. Thus, it was wise to hint Sony Large names such as Channing Tatum for “Demon Slayer” English Dub. There he went there, as it was, that is, there is a service audience, and when it is well provided, they will come happy. More importantly, this audience grows every year.

At a time when the box office remains on an unconfirmed land, the appearance of anime is welcome. Anything people go out to theaters more regularly can help move the needle, whether in the states or anywhere in the world. This is a global theatrical market, after all, and the anime, clearly, to have its big moments throughout the planet. Now it seems that the sky is the limit.

“Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle” is now in theaters.
