Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Day 5 Box Office Collection India (Tuesday)
On its fifth day, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle collected an estimated ₹4 crore to ₹5 crore nett. This is certainly an increase over Day 4 collection, which is a positive sign.
Also, with these earnings, the film’s total collections moved past the lifetime earnings of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (approximately ₹46 crore nett), making it the highest-grossing international animated film in India.
It is now the second highest-grossing animated film overall in the country, trailing the domestic production Mahavatar Narsimha, which has earned over ₹250 crore.
Day 4 Collection (Monday)
On its fourth day, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle earned an estimated ₹3.9 crore nett, according to Sacnik. This represented a drop of 71.84% from its opening day figures, a trend often observed for films on the first weekday following a major opening weekend.
However, observers are still calling it a strong collection for an anime movie, with estimates placing the first week collection to reach over ₹65 crores.
Day 3 Collection (Sunday)
The film collected ₹13.63 crore nett (₹16.55 crore gross) on its first Sunday, according to the official numbers provided. The opening weekend total reached ₹38.93 crore nett (₹47.45 crore gross).
This three-day collection established a new record for the highest opening weekend for an anime or animation film in India. It also became the second-highest opening weekend for any international film released in the country in 2025, coming behind Conjuring 4, which earned around ₹50 crores nett opening.
The weekend earnings surpassed the opening weekend collections of other 2025 releases such as Baaghi 4 (₹31 crore) which released on Sep 5, 2025.
Day 2 Collection (Saturday)
On its second day, the film earned ₹13.05 crore nett (₹15.95 crore gross). The cumulative collection after two days was ₹25.3 crore nett, which exceeded the entire opening weekend collections of films like Jaat.
Day 1 Collection (Friday)
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle opened on Sept. 12, 2025, with a collection of ₹12.25 crore nett (₹14.95 crore gross). With its first-day earnings alone, the film surpassed the lifetime box office collections of every other anime film previously released in India, making it the highest-grossing anime film in the country on its opening day.
This was in no way surprising given how strong the pre-sales were. When tickets became available on Sep 5 for premium formats, approximately 60,000 tickets were sold within the first 24 hours.
Advance sales had crossed ₹5 crore within three days. Presales had surpassed 600,000 tickets on BookMyShow app alone, with total advance ticket sales estimated to be around 2 million.
