Anime continues to hold a strong grip on audiences in the US, and the latest example comes from Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc. The film stormed into theatres and secured the top spot on Friday’s domestic charts, outperforming every other movie currently screening across the country. Its arrival comes while Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is still running in over 500 theatres and maintaining steady earnings after recently becoming the highest-grossing non-American film in US history, with $131.8 million.
Chainsaw Man Reze Arc’s Opening Day Collection
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s hit manga, was released last Friday across more than 3,000 theaters in the US. The dark fantasy action film grossed a remarkable $8.5 million domestically on its opening day, a figure that easily placed it at number one, according to Box Office Mojo. It outperformed Regretting You, which opened in second place with $5.2 million, marking a 63.5% higher collection. The Reze Arc also surpassed The Black Phone 2 and stayed ahead of other previous major releases such as Leonardo DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another ($650,000), Keanu Reeves’ Good Fortune ($920,000), and Jared Leto’s Tron: Ares ($1.3m).
Chainsaw Man Reze Arc Worldwide Box Office Crosses $70 million
Before its US debut, the movie had already been released in several Asian territories, including Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. Its worldwide earnings have now crossed $70 million, already exceeding the totals of four of this year’s well-performing horror titles — The Monkey ($68.8m), I Know What You Did Last Summer ($64.7m), Until Dawn ($54.1m), and The Long Walk ($53.8m) Now, with its US run now gaining pace, the number is expected to rise even further in the coming weeks.
