That earned it the #1 box office spot. But that\u2019s not even close to its most impressive feat. As <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/news\/box-office-demon-slayer-infinity-castle-anime-record-opening-1236517827\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Variety notes;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Variety notes<\/a>, it easily demolished the old anime film opening weekend record of $31 million. Pok\u00e9mon: The First Movie \u2013 Mewtwo Strikes Back held that title since 1999. As of this writing Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has also taken in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/release\/rl53837825\/?ref_=bo_hm_rd\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:more than $350 million worldwide;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">more than $350 million worldwide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sony, who distributed the movie and backed it under its Crunchyroll banner, has extra reason to celebrate this news. The film is just the first installment in a planned trilogy that will serve as the finale for the wildly popular series.<\/p>\n<div class=\"max-md:faux-bleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex ad-container\" id=\"_R_akt56mhak5clubsnm6fbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 hidden pb-5 md:block\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex ad-container\" id=\"_R_ikt56mhak5clubsnm6fbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you want to find out what all the fuss is about but don\u2019t have time to catch up on the whole show, don\u2019t worry.

After this opening weekend box office it\u2019s obvious she is not the only one. Records are made to be broken, but more than doubling the previous one is not something that happens by accident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The only question now is how long will this new benchmark stand? Our bet is it won\u2019t be long.
