I’m so excited for fellow anime fans! Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc absolutely killed it in its opening weekend, bringing in $8.5 million from Friday and previews across 3,003 theaters!

Michael Myers is responsible for a huge number of deaths throughout the Halloween franchise—over 160, if you count the different timelines.

However, when it comes to kills per movie, the Rob Zombie films are the most violent, totaling 31 deaths in just two installments.
