The much-awaited Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc has sliced through global box office charts, surpassing 50 million dollars in earnings since its release across 13 Asian countries. The film, produced by animation powerhouse MAPPA and distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment, continues to reign supreme in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan — and is gearing up for its worldwide rollout later this month.

Record-Breaking Performance Across Asia

According to Sony Pictures, Reze Arc has grossed over 59 million dollars globally, including 5.7 billion yen (roughly 37.6 million dollars) from Japan alone, where it remains the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2025. With more than 3.7 million tickets sold, the movie continues to top weekend box office charts, reaffirming Chainsaw Man’s global popularity.

In South Korea, the film has achieved an impressive 14.2 million dollars from nearly two million admissions, making it the 13th most-watched film of the year. Taiwan has also seen a strong performance, with Reze Arc holding the number one spot for three consecutive weeks, bringing its total to 4.6 million dollars.

The film is currently screening in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Mongolia, and the Philippines — and is slated to expand globally from October 22 across Europe, North America, and other international markets.

The Team Behind the Blood and Chaos

Directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara and produced by Studio MAPPA, the film delivers the high-energy visual brilliance that the Chainsaw Man franchise is known for. The creative team includes Masato Nakazono as assistant director, Hiroshi Seko handling the screenplay, Kazutaka Sugiyama leading character design, and Kensuke Ushio composing the haunting soundtrack.

The Reze Arc Storyline

The movie follows Denji, a devil hunter fused with his pet devil Pochita, as he continues to navigate a brutal world of devils, hunters, and deadly secrets. When a mysterious girl named Reze enters his life, Denji faces his most emotional and dangerous battle yet — torn between love and survival. With the explosive mix of violence, dark humor, and tragedy that defines Chainsaw Man, this film captures the emotional depth and chaos of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s original manga arc.

Global Anticipation Builds Ahead of Expansion

Following its monumental success across Asia, Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc is expected to perform strongly as it hits theaters worldwide starting October 22. Fans in the United States, France, Germany, Australia, and other major regions are already lining up to experience the chaos on the big screen.

With stunning animation, high-intensity storytelling, and an emotional edge, the Reze Arc is set to become one of MAPPA’s biggest theatrical hits yet — solidifying Chainsaw Man as one of the defining anime franchises of the decade.
