Demon Slayer Gets Disappointing Box Office Update!!
from RooseJP Hosted by 36.6
Despite early optimism by box office analysts, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle has failed to become the first global anime movie release to reach $1B. Adding salt to the wound, Demon Slayer has been denied extended screenings in China due to "unavoidable circumstances." On Dec. 11, 2025, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle concluded its box office run in China, which began on Nov. 14, 2025. Per Livedoor News, Infinity Castle will finish its theatrical run with 675 million yuan, which is approximately $96 million. Although Demon Slayer's record-breaking release in China qualifies for an extended theatrical run, Infinity Castle has been denied such an extension. The film's unexpected theatrical end is being blamed on rising political tensions between China and Japan, which have led to numerous cancellations of Japanese performances in China.
