Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle remains on top for sixth week

The film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle continues unbeatable in Japanese theaters, maintaining the first place at the box office during the weekend of August 22 to 24, 2025. According to the specialized portal Kogyo Tsushinsha, the film grossed 1.154 billion yen (approximately 7.84 million dollars) with 764,000 tickets sold in its sixth week in theaters.

Despite a 38.5% drop compared to the previous week, the film once again surpassed all its competition and consolidated its absolute reign at the Japanese box office.

Infinity Castle beats Titanic

According to the official report on the social network X (formerly Twitter), the film has accumulated a total of 28.087 billion yen (about 191 million dollars) in 38 days since its premiere on July 18, 2025, with more than 19.8 million attendees. This figure represents 108.1% of the revenue that Mugen Train achieved in the same period of time.

Thanks to these results, Infinity Castle is already positioned as the third highest-grossing film in history in Japan, surpassing James Cameron's Titanic (27,770 million yen in 1997).

In its third weekend, the film Crayon Shin-chan: Cho Karei! Shakunetsu no Kasukabe Dancers remained in fifth place, while the live-action adaptation of the romantic manga Gazing at the Star Next Door debuted in ninth place after opening in 307 theaters.

For its part, the film Eiga Odekake Kozame: Tokai no Otomodachi, based on the anime Odekake Kozame, debuted in tenth position with 221 theaters released. At the same time, the science fiction film AS ONE, inspired by Square Enix's Starwing video game Paradox, failed to enter the Top 10 despite being screened in 140 theaters.
