Overall, it still has a good buzz, and the collection will be much better after its rollout in Western countries. It is a dark fantasy action film based on the manga series Chainsaw Man by Tatsuki Fujimoto.
How much has the film earned so far at the box office in Japan?
According to reports, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc collected an estimated $560K on day 14 at the Japanese box office. It still dominates at the #1 spot in box office rankings in Japan.

But if it creates a strong fan base and gets as popular as the Ufotable flick, the future films might beat the Infinity Castle. The latest film follows Denji’s journey after the anime series’s first season. He encounters a new love interest, Reze, who works at a coffee shop. It was released in Japan on September 19.
