Overview

• Infinity Castle is now the highest-grossing anime release ever in the U.S. and has become the first anime film to reach $100 million domestically, according to industry tallies.
• The film is projected to lead its second weekend with about $16 million, narrowly ahead of Universal/Monkeypaw’s Him at roughly $15 million, though Friday grosses placed it in second place.
• Crunchyroll executive Mitchel Berger says the movie will not be on the service in 2025, signaling a likely streaming debut in 2026 and reinforcing a theatrical-first strategy.
• Global trackers report the worldwide total hovering around the $500 million mark, with international markets continuing to contribute strong results during the phased rollout.
• In week two the release keeps premium large formats while sharing IMAX with Him, and it is on pace to remain Sony’s top-grossing title of 2025.
