Thirteen days in, the Reze chapter has cleared ₹5.16 crore in India and the graph is behaving like a steady genre success. The film opened punchy, dipped midweek and then found a second-week pulse that kept late shows alive in big cities. That rhythm is ideal heading into another weekend with prime evening slots available in multiplex chains.
The mechanics are familiar by now for anime theatrical runs in India. Core fans show up on day one and carry strong word-of-mouth. Casual viewers wait for spoiler-safe edits and then drift into screenings for the big set pieces they keep seeing on social. The result is a series of small surges rather than a single front-loaded spike. That shape preserves show counts without needing heavy marketing in week two.
If you are planning a watch this weekend, target late evenings for the best crowd energy and pick center-right seats in the middle rows. The sound mix favors impact hits that feel bigger with a responsive room. For repeat viewers, this is the moment to scan transitions and quick cutaways that land better once you know where the scene is going.
The ceiling from here depends on how wide the chains keep shows and whether a bonus asset lands before Saturday. A short director greeting or a behind-the-scenes clip tends to lift late adopters just enough to add another couple of lakhs. Even without extras, metros should sustain thanks to strong playlist carryover and community chatter.
Anime’s broader India story matters too. Multiple titles clearing multi-crore totals this year gives distributors confidence to program deeper and try riskier arcs. That diversity is how we get a healthier calendar rather than one tentpole every few months.
