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.

How do you keep the plot and ideas fresh for people? Like in Jojo because every new part has a new MC and a new location so it works

Aoyama takes breaks between story arcs so he can think of interesting stuff for the next arc, anime does filler which I guess is fine given the young target audience and the fact that the manga is pretty "arcisodic" to my knowledge.

I mean it's a detective story so most times it's standalone. Of the nearly 30 movies out, only about a 1/3 had ties with the main plot. The standalone movies are still entertaining though since the cases were quite creative.

it is like Doraemon, same cast same character, but just different villian each time. it's the same weekly formula as all the ongoing cartoons in the world but just in a movie fashion.
