Demon Slayer Officially Makes All-Time Streaming Record on HBO Max

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle has made an immediate impact on HBO Max, reaching No. 2 among the platform’s movies worldwide on October 1. FlixPatrol’s latest chart gives the anime film 209 points, putting it behind only Supergirl and ahead of In the Lost Lands.

More impressively, Infinity Castle is the No. 1 HBO Max movie in 20 individual countries, while Brazil has it at No. 2. The timing is notable because HBO Max added the film to its Latin American catalog on September 29, giving viewers across the region another way to watch the first installment in the trilogy.

The worldwide HBO Max chart shows just how quickly Infinity Castle has found an audience. On October 1, the movie sits at No. 2 with 209 points, trailing Supergirl‘s 459 but remaining ahead of In the Lost Lands at 190. That places the Demon Slayer movie firmly among the most popular films being tracked on HBO Max worldwide that day. FlixPatrol describes its charts as rankings based on official trending or popularity data, with the Top 10 lists updated daily.

The country-by-country results are even more striking. Infinity Castle is No. 1 among HBO Max movies in Argentina, the Bahamas, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, El Salvador, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Those 20 markets account for every No. 1 position listed for the film on the October 1 HBO Max chart (via Flix Patrol’s website):

Brazil is the one Latin American market highlighted in the same chart where the movie does not take the top spot. Infinity Castle is No. 2 there, behind In the Lost Lands. Even so, its Brazilian placement adds another major market to the movie’s current HBO Max showing and helps demonstrate that its performance is not limited to a single country.

Infinity Castle‘s HBO Max Debut Coincides With Latin America Rollout

The timing of the surge is particularly interesting because HBO Max added Infinity Castle to its Latin American catalog on September 29. El Comercio reported that the movie arrived on HBO Max across Latin America that Tuesday, following its September 28 additions to Netflix and Disney+ in several territories. That means the movie had only been available on HBO Max in the region for roughly two days when FlixPatrol recorded its October 1 rankings.

Infinity Castle is the first movie in a trilogy adapting the final battle of Koyoharu Gotouge’s Demon Slayer manga. The film sends the Demon Slayer Corps into the Infinity Castle, where Tanjiro, Nezuko, the Hashira, and their allies face Upper Rank demons as the confrontation with Muzan Kibutsuji begins. FlixPatrol lists Haruo Sotozaki as the director and classifies the movie as a Japanese animated film.

Its HBO Max arrival also follows an unusually long theatrical journey. The movie originally premiered in Japan on July 18, 2025, before expanding internationally. It eventually became available for streaming on Crunchyroll in July 2026, and the later rollout across Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max has made it accessible to viewers on several major services.

The numbers make one thing clear: Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has made a record-breaking arrival on HBO Max. Reaching No. 2 worldwide among HBO Max movies while taking the No. 1 spot in 20 individual markets is an enormous debut, especially so soon after its arrival on the platform. With the film dominating charts across Latin America and appearing among the service’s most-watched movies worldwide, the movie has given Demon Slayer another major streaming milestone and further cemented its status as one of anime’s biggest modern theatrical successes.
