‘Demon Slayer: infinity castle’ Shatters Box Office Records, Reaching $468 Million Globally
The latest installment in the Demon Slayer franchise, Infinity Castle, has become a global box office phenomenon, earning $468 million worldwide as of September 13, 2025.

Elsewhere at the box office, The Conjuring: Last Rites has earned a total of $332.9 million, with $131.1 million domestically and $60.5 million overseas. This positions it as the second highest-grossing film in The Conjuring franchise, trailing only The nun ($366 million) and surpassing The Conjuring 2 ($322.8 million).
The Long Walk, a new release based on Stephen King’s 1979 novel and directed by Francis Lawrence, opened with an estimated $11.5 million domestically. Starring Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, and Mark Hamill, the film’s opening is below othre adaptations of King’s work, such as The monkey and Doctor Sleep, according to Deadline. International numbers for The Long Walk are still pending.
