The new Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba — Infinity Castle movie just smashed a huge box office record. This film is the first of three movies meant to close out the epic Demon Slayer story. It truly made history for anime films in the United States.
According to reports from ScreenRant, the movie had the best opening weekend ever for a Japanese anime film in U.S. history. It pulled in an amazing $70 million. This beats the old record set by Pokémon: The First Movie back in 1999. If you adjust for inflation, Pokémon earned about $60 million, so Infinity Castle really took the top spot.
With all that excitement, fans everywhere have one major question on their minds. When will they be able to stream Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle from the comfort of their own homes?
When can fans stream “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle”?
Right now, there’s no official date for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle to start streaming. But it might happen sooner than you think. Let’s look at what happened with the first movie, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train. That film hit theaters in April 2021. It then became available exclusively for Funimation subscribers in June, just two months later. It’s possible Infinity Castle could follow a similar quick path.
However, many anime movies put out by Sony Pictures tend to take a bit longer to reach streaming platforms. Decider points out that, on average, there’s a five to six-month gap between a Sony release in theaters and when it comes to Crunchyroll. If Infinity Castle follows that trend, we might see it streaming around March 2026.
