For Anime lovers, it's great for them to see that "Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc" has crossed $150 Million+ in revenue (btw it took approximately six to seven weeks for this film to achieve this), it has become one of the year’s breakout international successes. This Anime film performed greatly in Japan and North America. Early opening numbers in Japan were extremely healthy (strong opening-day admissions and solid weekend holds), while the North American opening which is a top debut in its release weekend — powered a significant chunk of the North American total. These combined market performances produced a cumulative worldwide figure that sits comfortably above $150 million. This insane performance places 'Reze Arc' among the higher-grossing anime features globally and pushing it into the upper echelons of modern anime theatrical releases.
I would say that behind the popularity of this film, there was also a really smart strategy from "Maruyama Animation Produce Project Association" (MAPPA). Beyond ticket sales, younger global audiences are driving anime theatrical success; anime IPs can translate to mainstream box office when distributors secure wide playdates; and localized marketing (festival appearances, targeted fan screenings, influencer and convention tie-ins) continues to amplify opening weekend legs, and etc. MAPPA have also made and followed 'Financial', 'Creative' and as well as 'Global distribution' strategies to help this Movie reach a wider audience.
