Oh, the anime fans are gearing up for the massive release ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle’ – and the film is breaking the history even before its release. With an unexpected turn of events, the Japanese anime film will be screened from 5:00 a.m. in the metropolitan cities.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle breaks the record

The advanced booking of the film commenced on September 5, and the fans quickly gathered on the online booking sites to book the seats, leading to shows getting sold out. As a response, the theatres in the major cities decided to extend their hours and offer early morning shows. A popular chain in Pune will have the earliest show at 5:15 a.m., and will be taken over by another in Navi Mumbai at 5:20 a.m.


The other shows include Bengaluru at 6:30 a.m. and Delhi at 6:40 a.m., according to the reports by the Economic Times. Directed by Haruo Sotozaki, ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle,’ the film will be released on September 12, 2025, in five languages, including Japanese (with English subtitles), English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
