>While Infinity Castle earned over $9 million in India, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc has only made around $350K in its first 5 days. Due to low ticket sales, most cinemas across India have already pulled the film just days after release.
>Reze Arc had decent hype before launch, but it struggled at the box office for several reasons. The movie received an ‘A’ rating in India, which blocked a large part of its teenage fanbase.
>Most theaters showed it on fewer screens, especially compared to Infinity Castle which had over 750 screens and strong pre-booking interest.
>The long 3-year gap between the anime’s first season and this movie also cooled off the hype.
>And unlike flashy, fast-paced anime films like Jujutsu Kaisen 0 or Demon Slayer, Reze Arc had a slower, more emotional tone in the first half, which may not have matched what casual Indian viewers expected from a shounen film.
>The movie is still doing well in Japan and hasn’t flopped overall, but its India release has definitely disappointed many Chainsaw Man fans.
Bros, why did Indians hate the Reze movie?
