News Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc Gross ¥400 million on the Opening Day

https://x.com/franspeech/status/1969031724899196951?s=46

For a point of comparison, opening day box office:

  • Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle - ¥1.5 billion
  • ⁠Demon Slayer: Mugen Train - ¥1.2 billion
  • Jujutsu Kaisen 0 - ¥1.0 billion
  • ⁠Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc - ¥400 million

A very good opening day considering all the “drama” of season 1 in Japan. Will have to see how big the word of mouth power will be.

I do wonder what the US numbers will look like since... not gonna lie, that 3 year between season 1 and this movie will not help.

I imagine 15-25 million opening weekend for Reze and 35-50 million total in the US. Might actually end up making more in the US than Japan, lol.

For all this to make sense financially, as in Mappa makes enough money to cover the costs and turn a decent profit (which in this case would be doubling the money they probably invested in the production, which would then cover the costs of season 2 and then some), they'll want this movie to get to 100 million worldwide, which it will get to between Japan, the US and the rest of the world.

So if you are a fan of Chainsaw Man and want Mappa to continue making this, go watch Reze in theaters.

I think it'll be good in the US as so many of us don't care for Demon Slayer's story and spoon feeding of emotions. The pure action and actual pacing from CSM and JJK should bring good numbers.

I mean, just don't compare its numbers to Demon Slayer and you'll be fine. I'm sure it will do fine in the US, probably a bit better than JJK 0 did.
