Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc surged to the front of the U.S. box office, pacing $8–$9 million Friday from 3,003 theaters and a better-than-expected $14–$15 million opening, after $3.4 million in Thursday previews. The R-rated MAPPA release holds a 100% critics score and 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and five stars on PostTrak, and has already earned north of $64 million globally. Black Phone 2, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, and Regretting You are clustered for No. 2 at $9–$12 million, while the Dodgers–Blue Jays World Series may influence weekend traffic.
