Crunchyroll Anime Films Continue Box Office‌ Success Following ‘Chainsaw Man‘ ⁣Triumph

LOS ANGELES, ⁤CA‌ – Crunchyroll continues to demonstrate⁣ the growing power of anime⁢ in the ‌north American box office,‌ with recent⁣ releases like⁣ “Chainsaw Man” achieving important success. The ⁤film topped the domestic charts upon its release,following a trend‌ established by previous Crunchyroll releases including “Dragon Ball Super” films,”My Hero Academia,” “One Piece Film Red,” and “Jujutsu Kaisen 0.”

Since 2020,‌ Crunchyroll‍ releases have generated $217 million in⁣ North American box office revenue, representing a considerable portion of the‍ $37 billion⁣ global anime industry.This success prompted Sony, Crunchyroll’s parent company, to send representatives to CinemaCon in April 2024-skipping its⁣ own presentation-to‍ advocate for increased theatrical support ‌of anime, emphasizing the passionate young‍ fanbases that drive attendance.

The latest “Demon Slayer” film alone earned $132 million domestically and $666 million worldwide, exceeding half of crunchyroll’s total North American earnings from the previous four ‍years. ”Chainsaw⁣ Man” followed a similar strategy, ‌building international hype ‍with $90.7⁣ million in the Asia Pacific ‌region before its U.S.debut. The film garnered‍ positive reviews, with IndieWire describing it as “both sad and sweet”‌ and a “gorgeously animated ‌anime bloodfest.”

Despite opening on over 3,000 ‌screens, “Chainsaw Man” remains an R-rated anime primarily attracting its core audience. Notably, premium screens contributed substantially to its⁣ revenue, with IMAX showings accounting for 19 percent of its buisness, ⁣or $3.3 million.

Sony’s acquisition of Alamo Drafthouse later in 2024 signaled a commitment to bolstering its anime business by⁣ leveraging the ‌theater chain’s ⁢dedicated, “nerdy and passionate”‌ clientele. The partnership with Sony Pictures Motion Picture⁣ group has expanded the worldwide marketing and distribution reach ⁢of Crunchyroll’s films, ⁣contributing to more⁣ consistent hits.

Crunchyroll’s ⁣growing market presence is further evidenced⁢ by a⁤ recent deal to provide ⁤anime content for Delta flights. While predicting the next⁢ breakout anime film remains challenging, the company’s track record demonstrates a clear and expanding audience for‌ the genre.

Globally, “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” earned $132.1 million across 49 international markets, bringing its total worldwide gross to $272 million. Japan contributed $213 million to that total.

Focus Features’ new “Downton Abbey” film landed in third place with $18.1 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales.Lionsgate’s “The Long Walk,” based on a Stephen King novel, opened in fourth with $11.5 million domestically.

“Spinal Tap II,” a sequel to the 1984 mockumentary, had a disappointing opening weekend, earning just $1.7 million.
