Aniplex announced on Monday that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle - Akaza Sairai, the first film in the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle trilogy, has sold 9,104,483 tickets for 12,872,176,700 yen (about US$87.10 million) in its first 10 days at the box office. The film set a new record in Japan for the fastest film to earn 10 billion yen, beating the franchise's first film Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-Hen) in 2020, which is also currently the top-grossing film of all time in Japan. The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle - Akaza Sairai film's box office revenue exceeded 10 billion yen within eight days of its release.
The first Infinity Castle film has also topped Mugen Train for Japan's best-ever opening weekend box office (when four-day openings are compared with three-day openings), best opening-day box office (1,155,637 tickets for 1,646,054,200 yen or US$11.1 million on July 18), and best single-day box office (1,421,804 tickets for 2,037,820,200 yen or US$13.7 million on July 20). However, Mugen Train's opening weekend box office was for three days instead of four days.
