Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Sets Feb. 6 Japan IMAX Return as Streaming Wait Grows

The film’s 1.43:1 IMAX cut in Japan signals a prolonged wait for any home or streaming release.

Overview

  • An updated 1.43:1 version will screen in IMAX starting Feb. 6 at two venues in Tokyo and Osaka, a treatment reported as a first for an anime in Japan.
  • A special fan event on Jan. 24 will hold cosplay-and-cheer screenings across 10 theaters in Japan, according to the franchise’s official site.
  • No Blu-ray, digital, or streaming dates have been announced, and the IMAX run is expected by industry reporters to push those releases back.
  • Past precedent suggests a lengthy window, with Mugen Train hitting Crunchyroll roughly eight months after its theatrical debut and Crunchyroll cautioning against a 2025 streaming arrival.
  • Forbes reports the film has topped $722.6 million worldwide and ranks as Japan’s No. 2 all-time box office title, underscoring why it remains theatrical-first.
