The movie Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle will leave theaters

Maintaining public interest in a single feature film for nearly a year is an unusual feat in the competitive Japanese box office. Breaking revenue records during that period turns it into a cultural phenomenon. Distributors confirmed that the first anime movie of the final trilogy based on Koyoharu Gotoge'sshonen, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, will end its theatrical run in Japanese cinemas on April 9th. To commemorate the end of this stage, theaters will provide collectible cards featuring illustrations from the credits to attendees who go to see the film during these final weeks of availability.

Globally, the project sold over 89 million tickets and became the first Japanese animation to cross the 100 billion yen mark in worldwide revenue. The title reached screens in Latin America during September of last year.

Tanjiro Kamado and the rest of the Hashira suddenly fall into a dimensional trap orchestrated by the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji.

In this completely hostile terrain, the protagonists are forced to push their breathing techniques to the absolute limit to survive ambushes and defeat the deadliest enemies in existence.
