Japanese fantasy flick Chainsaw Man sawed off…
“Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” landed in the No. 1 spot at the box workplace on Friday, raking in $8.5 million in its US opener, according to The Numbers.
The Japanese animated darkish fantasy motion flick based on a manga collection, which The Hollywood Reporter called “ultra-violent” and “surprisingly emotional,” was initially launched in Japan in September.
It is anticipated to take in $15.5 million this weekend, as per Variety.

“Regretting You,” the romantic drama starring Allison Williams, Scott Eastwood, Mckenna Grace and Dave Franco, got here in second, with gross sales of $5.2 million.
In an interview with Alexa, Eastwood gave his take on the movie.
“For me, it’s about the gray areas in life,” he said. “Everyone’s got secrets, these things that happen in their lives. So, it’s a foray into that.”
The Hollywood Reporter bashed the movie, based on the 2019 Colleen Hoover novel, saying its “plodding, uninventive, unthoughtful attempts at swoon and heartbreak,” hampered its spirit.

It is slated to earn $13 million this weekend.
“Black Phone 2,” slipped down to third, with $3.79 million in income.
The Boss biopic “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere,” took fourth, with a $3.5 million take.
The Post said the movie’s frontman, “Bear” actor Jeremy Allen White, “rocks” in his portrayal of the New Jersey rocker — “even if his voice doesn’t.”

White has been upfront about his lack of musical expertise, and in an interview with “Good Morning America,” said, “They’re such big shoes to fill, and I just wasn’t sure.”
He also admitted he told the movie’s producers, “I don’t play guitar, I don’t sing.”
The drama chronicles Springsteen’s bout of depression during the making of his 1982 album, “Nebraska,” and the Grammy winner talked to the morning show about having the movie revisit his troublesome time.
“They tend to be the most interesting moments of your life,” Springsteen told the outlet.
“At the end of the day, you know, when you’re making your way through some sort of crucible, hopefully to come out the other side with some knowledge gained, some greater sense of self, and a story to tell.”
In fifth place was “Tron: Ares,” which fell three spots, with earnings of $1.3 million.
