The Reze Arc Movie Leads the U.S. Cinema Earnings in Debut Weekend

Can Sony claim to have done it again? Coming after the triumph of the blockbuster Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, which grossed over $600 million globally, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has reached beyond the $100 million mark internationally, attaining a worldwide gross of $108 million in its opening frame. This movie beat out the thriller Black Phone 2 ($12.9 million) in its sophomore frame in theaters, as well as the music documentary Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere starring the talented Jeremy Allen White ($9M).

Strong Domestic and International Earnings

Helmed by director Tatsuya Yoshihara, the movie is a immediate sequel of Chainsaw Man’s first season. It brought in $18.2M in North America after a powerful five-point-two-million-dollar Saturday box office and $4.5M Sunday performance. Internationally, the MAPPA-produced film earned nearly $15 million across 46 global regions, bringing its global earnings to over $60 million via Sony ($43.1 million overseas, $18.2 million stateside). The studio has not yet revealed its official box office total.

Benchmarks to Previous Anime Hits

Anime marketing agency an industry expert noted in prior discussions, drawing parallels between the movie's expected results to Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which grossed thirty-four million dollars in the North America in 2022 and opened to a similar eighteen million dollars in the U.S.. Reze Arc’s debut weekend is in line with that benchmark, while its $108M worldwide total is now positioned slightly below Jujutsu Kaisen 0’s over $166 million final run. Even if it doesn't seem possible the Reze Arc movie will earn the numbers of blockbuster the record-breaking Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, this is still a huge win for the distributor.

Promotional Efforts Drive Performance

The studio and its partner Crunchyroll have skillfully used community involvement to drive their leadership at the cinema for anime films. This film's promotional efforts launched at the Los Angeles Anime Expo in summer with a MAPPA panel, unique experiences, and photo opportunities with Pochita, then continued with a significant involvement at NYCC showcasing never-before-seen content, audience giveaways, and additional MAPPA panels. Additionally, there was an special preview for fans for general audiences and influencers alike after the concluding day of the event.

Looking Ahead

2025 is a significant period for Japanese animation, and for the company, which has another animated movie releasing in 2025 in the film Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution in the month of November.
