Three 2025 anime films, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc and Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback, have earned roughly $1.13 billion combined, based on the latest tracker figures we found as of November 2026. Our January 2026 article put the total at $1.04 billion.

The updated numbers
- Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle: about $793.5 million worldwide per The Numbers, including about $259.9 million from Japan. It opened in Japan on July 18, 2025 and was the first Japanese film to pass 100 billion yen globally, per Nippon.com.
- Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc: about $174.5 million worldwide per The Numbers. It opened in Japan on September 19, 2025 and topped the US chart with about $17.25 million, according to Anitrendz.
- Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback: about $161.8 million per a November 2025 snapshot of The Numbers.
These figures come from trackers with different snapshot dates, so treat the sum as approximate. We removed two numbers from the old article: a $4 million budget for Chainsaw Man and a Conan total of $166 million, because we could not confirm either.
Background
All three titles come from long-running manga franchises with established audiences, and two were distributed in the US by Sony, per Anitrendz. Their release dates were spread across the year, which kept anime on the chart from July to October.
What it means
Our analysis: the story of 2025 is concentration. One film supplied about 70 percent of the total, so the strongest titles pull the whole category. The 2026 picture looks different. Infinity Castle's sequel had no official date as of early 2026, with ufotable listing it as a future project, and the new Detective Conan film has already passed 10 billion yen in Japan. Expect strong results again, but not necessarily the same scale.
