Anime
Chainsaw Man movie tops US box office with $108 million global haul
The anime film “Chainsaw Man — The Movie: Reze Arc” debuted at No. 1 in U.S. theaters and grossed $108 million worldwide last weekend. Coming less than two months after “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba — Infinity Castle” set records as the highest-grossing Japanese film ever with $70 million in North America, it underscores anime's dominance over Hollywood blockbusters. This builds on the blueprint established by the 2020 release of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie — Mugen Train,” which showed animated adaptations of TV arcs could achieve massive overseas success.
