Chainsaw Man Reze Arc Slices Past $174 Million To Become MAPPA’s Best Film Yet
Anime’s 2025 box office boom just crowned a new heavyweight—Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc has carved up $174.6 million worldwide as of December 9, 2025, and it’s not done yet.
2025 was already a loud year for anime movies, and then Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc showed up and decided to run the table. As of December 9, 2025, it has banked $174.6 million worldwide, and the theatrical run is still rolling. It is already MAPPA's top earner of 2025, and it is now breathing down the neck of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 ($183.76 million) for the studio's all-time box office crown.
Where the money is coming from
Per The Numbers' territory updates, Japan is the anchor as expected, but the North American push has been a major tailwind, and South Korea's turnout is the eye-opener. Here is the breakdown so far:
- Japan - $60.7 million
- United States/Canada - $43.3 million
- South Korea - $24.24 million
- Taiwan - $7.90 million
- France - $3.70 million
- Germany - $3.70 million
- United Kingdom - $3.60 million
- Australia - $2.48 million
- Mexico - $2.56 million
- Hong Kong - $2.30 million
- Russia (CIS) - $2.15 million
- Spain - $1.87 million
- Italy - $1.21 million
- Turkey - $0.42 million
- Netherlands - $0.67 million
- Romania - $0.26 million
- Czech Republic - $0.20 million
- Portugal - $0.30 million
- Denmark - $0.30 million
- Finland - $0.23 million
- Croatia - $0.09 million
- New Zealand - $0.25 million
- Rest of World - $12.27 million
- Total - $174.6 million
That South Korea number jumps off the page. It is quickly becoming one of the strongest anime box office markets outside Japan. Meanwhile, domestic screenings in Japan are still active, North America keeps legs under it, and new playdates in parts of Europe and Russia are only just ramping up. Translation: this thing still has runway.
Reze vs the MAPPA record book
Right now, the gap to Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is about $9 million. If Reze Arc holds even half of its current week-to-week pace, it can pass $183.76 million and become MAPPA's top-grossing film to date. Considering how well the character work in Reze hits and how strong Chainsaw Man's global fanbase is, the studio may end the year breaking its own record.
How it stacks up with the rest of MAPPA's big-screen slate
For context, here is where MAPPA's notable features and special-event releases sit: Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (released in 2021) stands at $183.76 million worldwide with a current IMDb score of 7.8/10 and is available on Crunchyroll. Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc (2025) is at $174.6 million and rising, with an 8.5/10 IMDb score, and is expected to land on Crunchyroll after theaters. Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (2025) has pulled in $36.4 million so far, carries a 6.5/10 on IMDb, and is also expected on Crunchyroll. In This Corner of the World (2016) sits at $19.7 million globally, with a 7.8/10 IMDb score, and streams on Netflix or Prime depending on region. Attack on Titan: The Last Attack (2024) has made $21.5 million, holds a 9.2/10 on IMDb, and is expected on Crunchyroll. JJK Hidden Inventory / Premature Death (2025) is at $5.1 million, has a 7.9/10 IMDb score, and streams on Crunchyroll.
The short version
Amid a packed anime year that also includes Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, and JJK Hidden Inventory / Premature Death, Reze Arc still carved out a global moment. If it keeps this clip for another week or two, MAPPA's new heavy-hitter is likely to nudge past Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and take the studio's top spot.
Do you think Reze Arc officially knocks off JJK 0 by the end of its run? I am leaning yes.
