Chainsaw Man The Movie Reze Arc: When It Will Hit Streaming And Where To Watch
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc’s streaming debut is hard to pin down thanks to a late U.S. rollout, but if anime’s usual 90-day window holds, expect an OTT drop roughly three months after its theatrical bow.
Chainsaw Man fans keep asking the same thing: great, Reze is finally hitting US theaters late this fall… so when can I watch it at home? Short answer: not anytime in 2025. Let’s walk through why.
So when does it stream?
Most anime films follow a loose 90-day path from theaters to streaming. Because the US release lands late — October 24, 2025 — that clock pushes the online window into early 2026. If the movie plays long in Western theaters (which is very possible if it turns into a word-of-mouth hit), tack on extra weeks.
Ballpark it this way: no official streaming date yet, but March–April 2026 is a reasonable guess. Anime distribution can be messy — licensing, regional deals, all the usual hurdles — so treat that as a window, not a promise.
Where will it land?
Nothing is confirmed. That said, look at where Season 1 lives and you can make an educated guess. Crunchyroll is the obvious first stop for anime like this. Netflix has been scooping up plenty of anime movies lately, and Prime Video has hosted Chainsaw Man Season 1 in some regions, so both are in the conversation too. Expect regional quirks and staggered availability.
How it’s doing before the US opens
The movie has already rolled out in 13 countries and cleared about $68 million worldwide so far, with roughly $43 million of that coming from Japan alone. Momentum is there heading into the States.
For the US launch on October 24, 2025, industry tracking (via Deadline) projects an $11–$14 million opening across around 3,000 theaters. The core driver is the 18–34 male crowd that showed up for Season 1. It probably will not touch Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle numbers, but it does not need to to be a clean theatrical win.
- Title: Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc
- Studio: MAPPA
- Japan theatrical release: September 19, 2025
- US theatrical release: October 24, 2025
- Japan gross to date: about $43 million
- Global gross to date (13 countries): about $68 million
- Projected US opening weekend: $11–$14 million in ~3,000 theaters
- Likely streaming window: early 2026, with March–April the best bet if runs do not extend
- Potential platforms: Crunchyroll first, with Netflix and Prime Video possible depending on region
Bottom line: if you are skipping theaters, circle early 2026 and keep an eye on Crunchyroll first, then the usual suspects. If the US box office legs out, nudge that circle a little further right on the calendar.
