He sat on a bench and looked at the beautiful Koi fish swimming. He learnt that the Koi is a very hard-working fish that swims upstream. While looking at the fish, he saw his reflection in the water.That was the moment when it occurred to him that HE WAS a Koi fish. Swimming against all odds with all his might.

The success of the Demon Slayer series on streaming and other platforms has built a dedicated fanbase eagerly anticipating the theatrical release of Infinity Castle.Strong opening buzz: Unlike Mugen Train, which was released during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and relied on a slow burn, Infinity Castle had a massive opening thanks to its pre-established brand recognition and the removal of pandemic restrictions.Positive word of mouth: The film’s strong box office performance was supported by excellent audience ratings on Korean ticketing sites like CGV and Megabox, signaling high satisfaction with the movie itself.Expanded cultural appeal: The franchise’s steady growth and repeated box office success in Korea indicate a deeper, long-term cultural engagement with Japanese animation, rather than just a passing trend.

Here’s a breakdown of the report “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Box Office Advance Booking (Final): Misses Avengers: Infinity War But Scores #3 Opening Day Pre-Sales Of 2025!”, and what the numbers mean. If you want just a quick recap or specifics, I can pull those out too.

What the report says (India box office / advance booking)

• Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle (India) final advance booking for Day 1 grossed ₹30 crore.
• It registered the 6th highest advance booking for a foreign film in India.
• It missed surpassing Avengers: Infinity War in advance booking (Infinity War did around ₹40 crore pre-sales in India).
• Among 2025 releases, it secured #3 in Opening Day pre-sales at national multiplex chains in India.
• At these chains (PVR, INOX, Cinepolis), it sold about 200,000 tickets for Day 1 through pre-sales.
• Also, as a comparison: opening day collections were estimated at ₹13 crore net in India, which was high for a foreign/animated/non-Bollywood release.

---

Context & Significance

• “Advance booking” means tickets sold before the film release (includes pre-sales and advance shows). Strong advance booking often predicts a strong opening day.
• Avengers: Infinity War had a very large advance booking in India (~₹40 crore) for Day 1. Demon Slayer didn’t beat that, but ₹30 crore is still a major success, especially for anime / non-Bollywood / foreign films.
• Being #3 in 2025 for opening day pre-sales means it’s outperforming many big releases (Hollywood or otherwise) except two which had perhaps larger stars or brands.
