Box Office: ‘Chainsaw Man’ Winning as ‘Black Phone,’ ‘Springsteen’ and ‘Regretting You’ Vie for No. 2

Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc (2025)

Japanese anime feature Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is off to an impressive start at the U.S. box office, where it’s on course to top Friday’s chart with $8 million to $9 million from 3,003 theaters for a better-than-expected opening of $14 million to $15 million, if not more. The acclaimed manga pic presently boasts a perfect 100 percent critics score and a 99 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, a rarely seen combo, in addition to five out of five stars on exit polling service PostTrak.

Produced by Mappa, the R-rated pic is based on the hit anime TV series that is available to stream on Disney+, Crunchyroll and other platforms. Since launching in cinemas last month in Japan, Chainsaw Man has already grossed north of $64 million at the global box office. Sony and Crunchyroll are handling the movie domestically and in select overseas markets.

Heading into its U.S. opening,

Box Office: ‘Chainsaw Man’ Wins Thursday Previews With $3.4 Million, ‘Springsteen’ Makes $850,000

Sony’s R-rated anime “Chainsaw Man” beat Disney and 20th Century Studios’ musical biopic “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” at the box office in Thursday previews.

“Chainsaw Man — The Movie: Reze Arc” made $3.4 million in previews. It’s expected to lead the pack of newcomers at the box office with $11 million to $15 million, though it appears it could now surpass even that. It could beat last week’s box office champ, Universal and Blumhouse’s horror movie “The Black Phone 2,” which is looking to add $10 million to $12 million in its second week.

Sony already had huge success last month with its other anime offering, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” which opened to a stellar $70 million. Also based on an existing anime TV series and brought to the big screen, “Demon Slayer” has made $131 million domestically and $659 million worldwide. Now, “Chainsaw Man” could be Sony’s second anime success in a row.
