‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle' Took Just 25 Days To Become Japan's 6th Highest Grossing Film Ever

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle continues its meteoric rise at the Japanese box office, earning 4.44 billion yen (US$30.11 million) over the past week to secure the position of the country's sixth highest-grossing film of all time. The latest instalment in the hit anime franchise also premiered in Taiwan over the weekend, its first international stop, where it topped charts and shattered records. This comes after smashing several box office milestones since its debut in Japan, including earning an all-time high for opening numbers and becoming the fastest movie to gross 10 billion yen domestically. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle As of 11 August, Infinity Castle has amassed 22.07 billion yen (US$149.17 million) in just 25 days, selling 15.69 million tickets, according to the series' official accounts. It overtook ONE PIECE FILM: RED for the sixth spot and now trails Your Name by just over 3 billion yen. It is also the fourth-highest-grossing anime film ever released in Japan, and continues to hold the No.1 spot for the fourth consecutive week. Taiwan's 8 August debut, reported by The Liberty Times as the first outside Japan, earned NT$46.9 million (US$1.56 million) on opening day, the seventh-largest opening across all films in the country's history. Distributor Muse announced on Instagram that the film has since grossed over NT$170 million (US$5.67 million), surpassing Mugen Train's NT$117 million to achieve the highest-grossing opening weekend for an animated film in Taiwan. Directed by Haruo Sotozaki at anime studio Ufotable, with Akira Matsushima as chief animation director and character designer, and music by Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina, Infinity Castle opened in Japan on 18 July. The film will arrive in U.S. and Canadian theatres on 12 September. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Crunchyroll, which streams the TV anime, Mugen Train , and the Hashira Training Arc in sub and dub formats, describes Infinity Castle as follows: 'Tanjiro Kamado – a boy who joined an organisation dedicated to hunting down demons called the Demon Slayer Corps after his younger sister Nezuko, was turned into a demon. While growing stronger and deepening his friendships and bonds with fellow corps members, Tanjiro has battled many demons with his comrades – Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira… The destination of where Tanjiro and the Demon Slayer Corps have fallen is the demons' stronghold – the Infinity Castle. And so, the battleground is set as the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons ignites.' With record-breaking momentum in both Japan and Taiwan, Infinity Castle is poised to make an even greater impact as it expands worldwide, with news of a star-studded vocal cast for its English dub, as Channing Tatum ( Deadpool & Wolverine ) and Rebecca Wang ( Blue Eye Samurai ) are added to its ranks. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle storms into Singapore theatres on 14 August 2025.

Noah Centineo Sets Sights On ‘John Rambo' Franchise Prequel

Action veteran Millennium Media is launching John Rambo , a prequel and origin film to the 1982 classic First Blood , and it looks like the production company has Noah Centineo in its crosshairs to play the titular character (via Deadline). Noah Centineo / Photo credits: Monica Schipper; Getty Images Sisu (2022) director Jalmari Helander is slated to direct the screenplay penned by the dual writers, Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, known for their work on Black Adam (2022). Sources have revealed that the film will be shot beginning in early 2026 in Thailand, and Lionsgate is at the forefront of considerations to distribute the film. The studio, having previously worked with Helander on Sisu , has also released the past two Rambo films and looks poised to have an advantage. While plot details have remained undisclosed, the upcoming film will be an origin story exploring a young John Rambo's escapades during the Vietnam War. Created by David Morell in his novel First Blood , John Rambo has become a household name, due in no small part to Sylvester Stallone's rugged portrayal in the original 1982 film. First Blood saw Stallone play the highly-skilled veteran Green Beret who, upon facing a harsh sheriff and his antagonistic deputies, has no choice but to flee into the mountains and wage a one-man war against them. Sylvester Stallone as Rambo The five films in the franchise have thus far generated more than US$800 million globally, with the latest instalment, Rambo: Last Blood (2019), produced by Millennium and Stallone's Balboa Productions, having garnered US$92 million at the box office. Though aware of the project and Centineo's new involvement, Stallone is currently uninvolved in the prequel's development. Centineo, meanwhile, has experienced a rising stardom with his roles in To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018), The Recruit (2022) and Black Adam (2022), but his portrayal of the titular character in John Rambo looks to be an opportunity that could propel his career further. The 29-year-old is also slated to star as Ken Masters in Legendary Entertainment's live-action Street Fighter , starring opposite Jason Momoa ( Aquaman, Fast X ) and Andrew Koji ( Warrior, Snake Eyes ).
