The strong result marked the biggest IMAX domestic opening ever for a local language release and pushed IMAX to a record $316 million in local language box office for 2025 \u2014 far surpassing the previous record of $243 million set in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\nFollowing its rollout in Japan and across Asian markets, \u201cDemon Slayer: Infinity Castle\u201d expanded this weekend to more than 600 IMAX screens across North America, Latin America, Europe, India, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. The film has earned $58.5 million in IMAX across more than 70 markets worldwide to date and is the highest grossing Japanese release of all time in IMAX.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201c\u2018Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle\u2019 further demonstrates that local language is the strongest emerging growth driver of the global box office, and IMAX \u2014 as the only global platform for cinema \u2014 is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend,\u201d said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. \u201cAnime has built a passionate global following across cultures, and this thriving genre is part of why IMAX has already delivered its biggest year ever for local language box office just nine months into 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSince its initial release in Japan on July 18, \u201cDemon Slayer: Infinity Castle\u201d has become the highest-grossing IMAX local language film ever released outside China. Internationally, the anime blockbuster brought in an additional $7 million over the weekend, delivering the biggest IMAX opening weekend ever in Spain, Turkey, Nigeria, Mexico, Chile and Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>\nWith \u201cDemon Slayer: Infinity Castle\u201d and \u201cNe Zha 2\u201d leading the charge, local language releases account for 35% of the company\u2019s total box office year-to-date. \u201cDemon Slayer: Infinity Castle\u201d will continue to play in markets across the IMAX global network through next week.<\/p>\n<p><b>About IMAX Corporation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nIMAX, an innovator in entertainment technology, combines proprietary software, architecture, and equipment to create experiences that take you beyond the edge of your seat to a world you&#8217;ve never imagined.
