Ufotable's Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle ended its Japanese theatrical run on April 9 after 266 days in cinemas — more than nine months. The film closes with more than $250 million in domestic Japan receipts and a global total of $738.5 million, cementing the Infinity Castle trilogy as one of the most lucrative anime releases in the medium's history.

The next chapter, however, is no longer arriving on the originally implied 2026 timeline. The sequel has been recategorised as a "future project" on the Aniplex production docket, which in practice rules out any 2026 release date. A Crunchyroll streaming date for the first film has also yet to be confirmed.

Aniplex and Ufotable are both coming off a landmark year commercially — one of the few years in which two anime films (Infinity Castle and Chainsaw Man: The Movie — Reze Arc) held first-place weekend spots on the North American box office charts.
