Demon Slayer Infinity Castlemovie is one of the most anticipated anime projects of the year. All the global release dates for the movie have been revealed, so fans are aware that the movie will premiere in the United States and Canada in September 2025. As the release date gets closer, fans have begun speculating what records the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle arc will shatter.
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Movie Is Going To Break Many Records
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie will be released in Japan on July 26, 2025, and it will certainly dominate the headlines for at least a week. Prior to its release, it was reported that theDemon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie had sold more than a million tickets. At the time, it is impossible to confirm the veracity of the statement, but it should become obvious once the movie is officially released.
There is a chance the number could be lower, but considering the popularity of Demon Slayer in Japan, it is bound to be in the same ballpark. Once the information becomes public, it will be easier to gauge how much the movie is going to earn in the coming weeks.
Demon Slayer Manga Has Sold More Than 220 Million Copies
Demon Slayer Is One Of The Highest-Selling Manga
Demon Slayer manga ended back in 2020, but its hype has not died down. Recently, the series hit a major milestone. It was confirmed that the Demon Slayer manga sold more than 220 million copies, making itone of the best-selling manga series of all time. The new number means that Demon Slayer is above the likes of Attack on Titan, Slam Dunk, Bleach, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, and Kingdom.
The number is likely to go up once the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie is released. Usually, there is a massive spike in manga sales after the release of its anime adaptation. So, going by that logic, the Demon Slayer manga will see an improvement in sales.
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Arc Will Affect Solo Leveling And Jujutsu Kaisen
Solo Leveling And Jujutsu Kaisen Could Announce New Movies In The Future
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle arc will have a majorimpact on the anime industry, especially on action-oriented anime like Solo Leveling and Jujutsu Kaisen. Most anime series, except for a few cases, use canon material for the television series adaptation, which is why Demon Slayer’s decision to adapt the remainder of the story into a movie trilogy is a bold move.
If the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movieis a success, then it could provide the blueprint for Solo Leveling and Jujutsu Kaisen, which are also heavily action-based. The two anime could adapt their biggest arcs into movies, and reap the benefits like Demon Slayer. It is worth mentioning that this approach has its pros and cons. For starters, fans won’t have to wait every week for new episodes. They can enjoy the entire arc or the majority of it in one sitting. Anime movies have a much higher quality of animation, and it is better than anything fans can find in a regular television series.
However, this approach has its disadvantages. A higher quality of animation means that the production time will be longer. For example, Demon Slayer’s movie trilogy is expected to end in 2029 or 2030. Not all fans will appreciate waiting for such a long time to wrap up the story. Movies usually have different release dates, meaning not all people will be able to enjoy them at the same time. Due to this reason, some fans will inevitably come across spoilers.
Jujutsu Kaisen And Solo Leveling Have Yet To Announce Release Dates
Jujutsu Kaisen released a compilation movie in May that covered the Hidden Inventory arc, but so far, it has not disclosedany information about the third season. Fans have only been treated to a key visual, and that too was revealed at Jump Festa 2025.
On the other hand, Solo Leveling has yet to announce a third season, which is shocking as the second was a huge success. However, A-1 Pictures doesn’t seem ready to divulge any details at the moment. Fans will hope that it won’t be long before the third season is confirmed.
