The movie Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc has reportedly already generated over $187 million at the global box office, confirming the immense popularity of the franchise worldwide.
This colossal success appears to have profoundly changed studio MAPPA's strategy.
MAPPA now wants to own more of its licenses
The CEO of MAPPA acknowledged that the film's triumph had altered the studio's vision for the future of its productions.
The goal would now be to own more licenses and IP rights, rather than simply working for production committees.
A significant statement that could completely transform how some animation studios manage their future projects.
A desire to improve animators' conditions
MAPPA's leader also mentioned the desire to improve:
- Animators' working conditions
- Rewards for production teams
- The recognition of internal creative work
A particularly sensitive topic in the anime industry in recent years.
A huge turning point for the anime industry?
The phenomenal success of Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc could mark a real change in the Japanese animation industry.
More and more studios are now seeking to own their works to directly benefit from the global success of their licenses.
With the enormous popularity of Chainsaw Man, MAPPA seems to want to take a new step in its development.
The Chainsaw Man phenomenon continues
Between its spectacular animation, unique art direction, and the highly anticipated Reze arc, the film once again confirms the power of the franchise created by Tatsuki Fujimoto.
The film's success also shows how much anime has become an undeniable global phenomenon.
And you, do you think MAPPA is right to want to own more of its licenses? 🔥
