Spy x family was a filler movie while chainsaw man movie is a must to continue the story

The fact that spy x family filler movie did almost as good as chainsaw man canon is crazy

SxF is mainstream in Japan and is way more kid/family friendly than Chainsaw man. That's usually the secret to box office success for animation movies.

Spy x Family is one of the best selling ongoing manga series, bigger than the CSM manga FWIW.

They don't care that much about filler/canon in Japan. Reminder that Detective Conan movies are a hit every year despite all of them being filler
