Demon Slayer isn't a fandom anymore, it's an economy. The Infinity Castle finale is the engine, and it's getting its own night at the biggest anime convention in America.
## The AX spotlight Crunchyroll is celebrating Infinity Castle at Anime Expo 2026 on July 3, taking over the Peacock Theater in downtown LA as part of a packed programming block. When a single film gets a dedicated celebration at a show with a thousand-plus hours of programming, that's the organizers reading the room — Demon Slayer moves more bodies than almost anything else on the floor.
## A record run with more to come The film already pulled a massive theatrical run, including a March 2026 North American re-release that brought 270-degree ScreenX projection to US theaters for the first time. Now there's a streaming-date update in the mix, which means the people who waited out the theatrical window finally get a date to circle.
## The final-arc stakes Infinity Castle kicks off the end of the story — the Hashira and the demons in the same building, no more easing in. Ufotable turned that descent into some of the most expensive-looking animation the medium has produced. The franchise is closing the book at the absolute peak of its powers.
## Why it still matters A lot of anime gets big. Demon Slayer got mainstream — the kind your cousin who doesn't watch anime still knows. Infinity Castle is the victory lap, and the AX celebration is proof the hype hasn't cooled a degree.
