Crunchyroll’s Biggest New Movie Tears Through U.S. Box Office Debut, Following Demon Slayer’s Example

by

Crunchyroll’s latest movie is quickly becoming a hit in US theaters, building on the success of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle. Anime has already had a strong year on television, but it’s been even more successful in cinemas thanks to the latest Demon Slayer film. Many fans and industry professionals hope this positive trend will continue, benefiting all anime releases. We’ll see if that’s the case this fall with the release of a new movie.

The movie Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has been successful in Japan, and it recently premiered in the United States and Canada. Early box office numbers are promising, suggesting a strong start for the new film from Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Chainsaw Man’s New Movie Makes U.S. Box Office Debut

The new Chainsaw Man movie, Reze Arc, is off to a strong start, earning an estimated $8 million on its opening night and projected to reach $14 million by the end of the weekend, according to Deadline. While not as widely known as the popular Demon Slayer franchise, this is still a very impressive opening for the film.

While both Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer originally appeared in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, they attract very different audiences. Chainsaw Man isn’t likely to reach the same level of global popularity as Demon Slayer, but it’s still performing well with its own, unique fanbase.

Why You Should Watch Chainsaw Man’s New Movie

The new movie, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, continues the story immediately after the first season of the Chainsaw Man anime, just like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle did. It adapts a key part of the original manga, making it essential viewing for fans eager to follow Denji’s adventures. Since there aren’t any plans for a new season right now, this movie is the only way to see what happens next in the anime.

While smaller in scope than a film like Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc delivers what anime fans expect from a feature film. It boasts animation quality beyond the original TV series, adapts a particularly strong story arc from the Chainsaw Man manga, and has been praised by ComicBook as the best anime movie released this year.
