Currently, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is doing phenomenally at the worldwide box office by the parameters of any animated film. The film has already grossed over $68 million in Asia ahead of its international debut. There’s plenty of room to grow as the film officially releases today (October 24) in the United States. That said, given its current trajectory, there is absolutely no way The Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc will conquer Demon Slayer at the box office.
By time Demon Slayer Released theatrically in the West, it had already broken almost all records for overseas animated film performance, earning $100 million even before its release in America. It has since become by far the biggest animated film of all time, and although its sales have slowed, it continues.

There is no recap (like most of the previous ones Demon Slayer movies tend to) or overemphasize flashbacks, and it doesn’t end with a major cliffhanger in the middle of an important story moment. While prior knowledge of the story is certainly a necessary requirement to get the complete picture, a newbie to the series can still enjoy it for what it is, as the characters are slowly built throughout the arc. It disguises itself as a slow-burn romance before that “burn” inevitably hits the tip of the fuse, leading to a shocking explosion.

It’s a film that offers a more mature and relatable storyline to an older audience than the vast majority of animated films can attest to.

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc goes straight to the heart of the human experience, for all its controversial beauty and strangely inviting horrors, and it’s something people were bound to resonate with.
