‘Chainsaw Man’ is #1 at the box office; ‘Springsteen’ fails to deliver

Anime reigned supreme at the box office this weekend, with the film Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc cutting down the competition to take the number one spot with $17.2 million.

The film is a sequel to the Chainsaw Man TV series based on Tatsuki Fujimoto‘s manga series of the same name. It beat out the week’s two other big releases – Regretting You and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.

Regretting You, based on the Colleen Hoover novel, came in at number three with a better than expected $12.8 million, while the Jeremy Allen White-starring Deliver Me From Nowhere failed to deliver with $9.1 million for the number four spot. 

Last week’s number one film, Black Phone 2, dropped to the number two spot this week with $13 million. Tron: Ares rounded out the top five with $4.9 million.
