Let’s look at how the movie has performed and compare its five-day total with other major anime films released in India.

A Historic Start for “Demon Slayer”

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle was released on Friday, September 12, 2025. The film had a massive pre-release buzz. Fans were excited to see the next part of the story on the big screen. The advance bookings were record-breaking, with many shows selling out even before the release.

The film had a fantastic first day, collecting a whopping ₹13.25 crore. This was a new record for an anime film in India. The momentum continued over the weekend.

On Saturday, it collected ₹13 crore, and on Sunday, the collections saw a slight jump to ₹14.5 crore. This pushed the film’s first-weekend total to an impressive ₹40.75 crore.

The film’s performance was also a big deal because it was released in multiple languages, including Japanese (with English subtitles), English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. This wider reach helped it attract a bigger audience across the country.

The Weekday Challenge and a Big Dip

Like most films, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle also faced a drop in collections on weekdays. On its first Monday (Day 4), the film saw a sharp decline. It collected around ₹3.5 crore. The drop was over 75% compared to its Sunday numbers.

This is a common trend for films that rely heavily on a specific fan base.

While this number is huge for an anime film, the significant drop on weekdays shows that the film is a front-loaded product. This means that a large number of fans rushed to watch it in the first few days, and now the collections are slowing down.

How Does It Compare with Other Anime Hits?

To understand the scale of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’s success, let’s compare its five-day run with other popular anime films that have been released in India in recent years.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie: This film was released in 2022 and was a big success in India. It had a strong start, but its total five-day collection was much lower than Demon Slayer’s. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 collected around ₹5.4 crore in its opening weekend (first three days). Its total collection in India was around ₹7.5 crore. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has already made much more than that in its first two days.

One Piece Film: Red: The One Piece movie was also released in India and had a decent run. In its first 10 days, the film collected about ₹3.15 crore. This is a number that Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has surpassed in just one day.

Suzume: This film by director Makoto Shinkai was a big hit in India. It was one of the highest-grossing Japanese films in the country, crossing the ₹10 crore mark in its lifetime.

Suzume had a strong and consistent run, but its day-by-day collections were not as high as Demon Slayer’s record-breaking opening. Suzume’s success was more about a long, stable run rather than a massive opening.

The “Demon Slayer” Phenomenon

The box office performance of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is a landmark moment for the anime industry in India. It shows that anime is no longer a niche genre. It has a dedicated fan base that is willing to go to theatres and support their favourite shows and films.

The record-breaking opening and the massive weekend collections prove the immense popularity of the Demon Slayer series.

However, the big drop on weekdays is a point to watch. For the film to become a true blockbuster, it needs to maintain a decent collection in the coming days.

The second weekend will be crucial. If it can hold its ground and continue to attract audiences, it will set a new benchmark for all future anime releases in India.

Even with the drop, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has already proven to be a historic success and a game-changer for anime cinema in the country.
