As this is a sequel to the Demon Slayer movie, which broke the all-time record of becoming the highest-grossing movie in box office history, expectations are high this time as well!

Demon Slayer movie screening period
Anime films are usually screened for one to two months , but this film is a "hot topic" and it is speculated that it may have a long run from late October until as long as January 2026.
- At the earliest : until the end of September 2025
- If it drags on : It's possible that it will be shown until around January 2026.
Movies based on the nationally popular anime Detective Conan are also released every spring, but it is said that the screening period changes depending on the box office revenue of that year.
I think the screening period for the movie "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Castle Arc Chapter 1: Akaza Strikes Back" will also be adjusted depending on the initial box office revenue.
The North American, UK and other international release dates are scheduled for September 12, 2025.
As a fan, I'm very happy that the movie will reach Demon Slayer fans all over the world! (Of course, I plan to go see it soon!)
Depending on the theater, Demon Slayer collaboration food will be available, and the movie theater may even be decorated in Demon Slayer style!
