The success of the Demon Slayer franchise

Infinity Castle will be the fourth film in the Demon Slayer franchise. The first movie, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train (2020), played a crucial role in expanding the series' global fanbase. It grossed an astounding $507.1 million against a $15 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time, surpassing the Oscar-winning Spirited Away (2001).

The subsequent films, To the Swordsmith Village (2023) and To the Hashira Training (2024), received positive reviews but did not match Mugen Train’s record-breaking success.

All four seasons of Demon Slayer are available for streaming on Netflix, JioHotstar and Crunchyroll.
