Demon Slayer Infinity Castle: Now Streaming, a Record Run, and the Next Film

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle: The Trilogy's Next Chapter and the Figures Collectors Are Chasing in 2026

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has moved from a theatrical event into a home-viewing and collecting story. This guide covers three things fans keep searching for: where to stream it now, how big its box office actually got, and what is (and isn't) confirmed about the next two films. Then we look at the figures collectors are chasing.

Infinity Castle is the first entry in a three-film adaptation of the manga's Infinity Castle arc, animated by Ufotable. It opened in Japan on July 18, 2025 and rolled out internationally through the rest of that year.

Where to watch Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle now

The film began streaming on Crunchyroll on July 28, 2026, worldwide except Japan, mainland China, and France. It streams in Japanese with English subtitles and with an English dub.

If you'd rather own a copy, it is also available to buy digitally on services such as Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, and YouTube. Crunchyroll held the streaming debut for roughly a year to protect the theatrical run, so the move to streaming is a signal the theatrical window has effectively closed.

How big did Infinity Castle get at the box office?

Very big. In 2025 it became the highest-grossing anime film of all time, overtaking the franchise's own Mugen Train, and the highest-grossing Japanese film of any kind. Its later opening in mainland China (about US$52 million in three days) pushed the worldwide total past US$730 million.

Fact Detail
Worldwide gross Over US$790 million (Box Office Mojo, late August 2026)
Records Highest-grossing anime film ever; highest-grossing Japanese film ever
Japan release July 18, 2025
Now streaming Crunchyroll, from July 28, 2026 (excl. Japan, mainland China, France)

Box office figures move, so treat the total as a snapshot. The takeaway for collectors is stable: a film at this scale drives sustained demand for merchandise long after it leaves theaters.

When does the next Infinity Castle film arrive?

A second and third film are planned to finish the arc, but exact dates are not locked. Trade reporting and leaked schedules point to 2027 for the second film and 2029 for the finale.

Those years are not official. Crunchyroll has said the 2027 and 2029 dates are not confirmed, and The Guardian corrected an earlier report that had stated them as fact. In short: the three-film structure is real, the years are still reporting rather than announcement. Watch for a formal reveal before planning around them.

The figures collectors are chasing

Infinity Castle puts the spotlight on the Hashira and the Upper Moon demons, and that is where demand is concentrated. Two routes cover most collectors: scale and prize figures of headline characters (Rengoku, Shinobu, and the Upper Moons are perennial sellers), and Ichiban Kuji lotteries, which are the main way limited Demon Slayer figures reach the market.

Because Infinity Castle-era characters keep getting new sculpts, a simple shelf plan works: pick one scale figure of a favorite, then chase Ichiban Kuji prizes for variety and the harder-to-find Last One figures.
