A new report suggests that the anime hit Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is coming to digital streaming very soon.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc opened in North American theaters on Oct. 24. The official synopsis for the film reads, “For the first time, Chainsaw Man slashes his way onto the big screen in an epic, action-fueled adventure that continues the hugely popular anime series. Denji worked as a Devil Hunter for the yakuza, trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents, until the yakuza betrayed him and had him killed.
“As he was losing consciousness, Denji’s beloved chainsaw-powered devil-dog, Pochita, made a deal with Denji and saved his life. This fused the two together, creating the unstoppable Chainsaw Man. Now, in a brutal war between devils, hunters, and secret enemies, a mysterious girl named Reze has stepped into his world, and Denji faces his deadliest battle yet, fueled by love in a world where survival knows no rules.”
Directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, which is based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man manga series, is reportedly going to be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, Dec. 9, according to When to Stream.
While When to Stream is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, the streaming tracker noted that Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc’s studio, Sony Pictures Entertainment, has not announced or confirmed the film’s release date and it is subject to change.
Sony/Crunchyroll Films Typically Arrive On The Crunchyroll Streaming Platform First
When to Stream’s report about the digital release of Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is interesting in that Sony Pictures Entertainment — which produces the films in conjunction with Crunchyroll — typically bypasses the PVOD route. Instead, the productions premiere on streaming video on demand on Sony’s Crunchyroll digital platform, which is a subscription service that specializes in anime programming.
It’s possible, though, that with the big box office success of Sony/Crunchyroll’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle in September and Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc a month later, the studio is efforting to get its films to viewers a lot quicker in the home entertainment marketplace. Typically, it takes new Sony/Crunchyroll films about four-and-a-half to five months after they open in theaters to arrive on the Crunchyroll platform.
The reported PVOD Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, on the other hand, means viewers will only have to wait about six weeks to watch it at home. The earlier access, however, comes with a cost, since new PVOD releases generally run anywhere from $19.99 to $29.99 to purchase or $14.99 to $24.99 to purchase for a 48-hour period.
Should Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc get a PVOD release, it will likely be available on a variety of digital platforms, including Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube. As of this publication, however, the film is not available for pre-order through any of the above-mentioned platforms.
Rated R, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is still playing in theaters. The film to date has earned $43.2 million domestically and $131.3 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $174.5 million.
