Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has made a smashing start at the Indian box office. Haruo Sotozaki’s Japanese animated fantasy action film recorded the highest opening of all time for an anime film. That’s not it; it has also surpassed F1, Jurassic World Rebirth, and others to score the 4th highest opening for a foreign film in 2025. Scroll below for the day 1 official update!
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is highest-grossing anime film in India!
According to the estimates, Infinity Castle earned a whopping 13 crore net on day 1 in India. It registered final pre-sales of 10 crore+, surpassing the lifetime earnings of the previous highest-grossing anime film, Suzume (10 crores). There was competition from The Conjuring: Final Rites and F1, among other non-Indian releases, but Akaza’s Return was the #1 choice of the audience.
The trends are highly favorable, since the reviews were highly positive. On the online ticket booking platform BookMyShow alone, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle surpassed 1 million interests. It is the 3rd non-Indian movie of all time to have achieved that milestone in BMS interests, only after Avengers: Endgame (1.57 million) and Avatar: Fire And Ash (1.1 million).
