"Arrival of 'Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' Impresses with High Rotten Tomatoes Rating"
The highly anticipated movie "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" is all set to hit the screens in the US and several other regions this weekend. This film marks the continuation of the franchise's story and is the first installment in a trilogy, not more seasons of the show.
The trilogy will cover the anime's final arc, known as the "Infinity Castle" arc, which is expected to be a long and intense story, potentially spanning 4-5 episodes when put together. In this arc, the entire Demon Slayer Corps is teleported to Muzan's Infinity Castle, where they face intense battles. Key events include Tanjiro encountering Akaza, Zenitsu facing Kaigaku, and the corps fighting against other powerful demons, with the backdrop of a grand "blood festival" orchestrated by Muzan.
"Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" has already made a significant impact in Japan, where it was released on July 18. The movie has already made $67 million worldwide, despite not releasing in several major regions. Moreover, it has a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score based on a handful of reviews.
The success of "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" and its predecessor, "Mugen Train", which made a total of $486 million worldwide and had a certified fresh 98% from critics and a stunning 99% from fans, suggests a high demand for the franchise's films.
The release schedule for the trilogy indicates a long wait between installments, given the time it takes to animate such projects. Early reports suggest that Part 2 of the trilogy might be released in 2027, and Part 3 in 2029.
"Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" is set to release in Brazil, Mexico, the UAE, India, South Africa, the UK, Canada, and several other regions between the 11th and 12th. The worldwide box office earnings are likely to increase significantly after its release in more regions.
The success of "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" and "Mugen Train" has led to the decision to create a trilogy of films instead of more episodes. This trilogy will conclude the franchise, ending with this epic saga.
