Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle surpassed expectations in pre-sales at the Chinese box office. Despite the political tensions, it is minting impressive moolah at the ticket windows.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle China Box Office Day 2 Collection
According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando, Akaza’s Return earned $20.8 million on its second day in China, from over 170K screenings. It witnessed a limited 26% growth compared to $16.5 million garnered on the opening day.
Infinity Castle has scored the second-highest Saturday for a Japanese film in China. It remained only behind Suzume, which had brought in $22.5 million, back in 2023. However, the latest Demon Slayer movie did score the biggest Saturday for a non-Chinese film in 2025. The two-day total concludes at $40 million, including previews.

Take a look at the day-wise box office breakdown at the China box office:
- Previews: $2.7 million
- Day 1: $16.5 million
- Day 2: $20.8 million
Total: $40 million
The word-of-mouth is spectacular, and the Japanese animated dark fantasy action film has also passed the audience test with raving reviews. But there’s a reduction in screen count, which is limiting the growth at the ticket windows. For Sunday, it has clocked $6.5 million in pre-sales but will screen at 166K screens. This means a further reduction of 4K screens from Saturday.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle vs Avatar 2 opening weekend in China
Infinity Castle was predicted to gross an opening weekend of over $55-65 million in China. But going by the current trends, the debut weekend will land somewhere around $55 million. Haruo Sotozaki’s directorial may fall short of surpassing Avatar – The Way Of Water ($57.1 million), which means it will score the 4th biggest opening weekend for a non-Chinese film.
