Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc Slashes into North American Box Office

According to the latest reports, the anime film Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc is poised to debut at the top of the North American box office this weekend. The movie, which was released in theaters on October 24, 2025, has already generated significant buzz and is expected to give a tough fight to other Hollywood releases.

One of the key factors contributing to the film's success is its critical acclaim. Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc boasts a 95% rating from critics on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with audiences giving it an even higher 99% rating. While this is slightly lower than the 98% critics' rating for the previous anime hit Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, it still showcases the growing popularity of anime movies in the North American market.

According to industry reports, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc collected a strong $3.4 million from Thursday previews, indicating a promising start. The film is expected to earn between $14 million and $15 million in its debut weekend, which would be a significant achievement considering the competition it faces. In comparison, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle collected $11.4 million from its Tuesday and Thursday previews, highlighting the rising appeal of Chainsaw Man.

Directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara and based on a script by Hiroshi Seko and Tatsuki Fujimoto, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc has already made a strong impression worldwide, having collected over $64 million at the global box office. The R-rated anime movie is poised to continue its success in North America, potentially reaching the $100 million mark this weekend.
