Celebrating the 1st Anniversary of ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Train’ The Movie, Special Screenings Set for August

The movie ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Train’ has confirmed special screenings next August to mark its 1st anniversary, and it has also released the main poster. 

Achieving the “box-office triple crown” in which it ranked No. 1 for opening scores in 2025, the number of viewers for Japanese animation, and total sales, ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Train’ swept through summer theaters as it topped the box office for 20 straight days after its Aug. 22, 2025 release. It then proved it still had strong staying power by drawing 111,838 viewers after a standalone re-release at CGV in new formats this year, including SCREENX as a new special theater format in March, along with even more upgraded versions of 4DX and IMAX. 

This 1st anniversary special screening is expected to be a special time to reunite on the big screen with last summer’s top blockbuster, ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Train.’ A variety of events are also set to be held, including on-site ticket perks for viewers starting from the release date, and expectations are high that, alongside strong fan response, it will reignite blockbuster momentum in theaters again this summer.

Meanwhile, the 1st anniversary special screening of ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Train’ is a wide release that marks the first debut following the merger and acquisition of Animax Broadcasting Korea and AniPlus on July 1 of last year. It is also significant in that it will serve as the first project signaling the merged company’s start. Industry watchers are paying attention to how, built on the content competitiveness and distribution know-how the two sides have accumulated over the years, they plan to showcase even stronger competitive power and influence in the domestic animation market.
