After several weeks of poor box office results, the eagerly awaited horror sequel Black Phone 2<\/strong> finally had success in October. The film, which grossed $27 million in its domestic weekend debut, was the triumphant climax among a sea of underperformers, including disappointing ones Tron: Ares<\/strong> and the huge Dwayne Johnson<\/strong>-led financial flop The Smashing Machine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n However, the disappointment hides the yield of one of the biggest success stories of the year in its sixth week: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba \u2013 The Movie: Infinity Castle<\/strong>. So far, in its sensational global success, it has already broken many box office records, including recent overtakers Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon<\/strong>, becoming the highest-grossing international film of all time in America. Demon Slayer<\/strong> has now reached another impressive milestone.<\/p>\n Officially, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba \u2013 The Movie: Infinity Castle<\/strong> is now one of the 100 highest-grossing animated films in US box office history<\/strong>. Currently ranked 99th on the list, ahead of 100th The Peanuts Movie<\/strong>, Infinity Castle<\/strong>‘s arrival has caused the 2005 hit Robots<\/strong> to fall out of the top 100. No other film first released in 2025 has made it into the domestic top 100, even if it was the best-selling film Ne Zha 2<\/strong>, which has earned a staggering $2 billion worldwide.<\/p>\n The highest-grossing animated film in US box office history came from last year’s Inside Out 2<\/strong>, which broke records, reaching $652 million domestically and nearly $1.7 billion worldwide. At the time of writing this article, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba \u2013 The Movie: Infinity Castle<\/strong> has earned $639 million worldwide<\/strong>, split between domestic earnings of $131 million and $508 million from overseas markets.<\/p>\n October was a tough month for cinema, with even the most critically acclaimed newcomers failing to achieve financial success. In addition to the trio already mentioned – Demon Slayer<\/strong> film, Black Phone 2<\/strong>, and The Smashing Machine<\/strong> – there are still plenty of new arrivals worth your time and money currently playing in theaters. This includes Paul Thomas Anderson<\/strong>‘s latest masterpiece One Battle After Another<\/strong>, the Channing Tatum<\/strong> and Kirsten Dunst<\/strong>-led Dachmann<\/strong>, the big horror success The Incantation: Last Rites<\/strong>, and much more.<\/p>\n Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba \u2013 The Movie: Infinity Castle<\/strong> has reached another milestone at the box office. With its global success and impressive box office records, it continues to be a must-watch film. Stay tuned for the latest box office updates to see how Demon Slayer<\/strong> and other films perform in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Box Office Success After several weeks of poor box office results, the eagerly awaited horror sequel Black Phone 2 finally had success in October.
