The top four films at the Japanese box office for the weekend of October 17-19 remained unchanged from last weekend, according to Kogyo Tsushinsha . Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc stayed in first place, earning 582 million yen (3.86 million USD) on 375,000 admissions in its fifth weekend. It was only 9.5% down from last weekend, but enough to keep the film at the top spot now for five consecutive weekends since its release on September 19. Reze Arc 's cumulative total domestic gross has reached 6.5 billion yen (43.1 million USD) on 4.26 million admissions. With this, anime films have now stayed on top of the Japanese box office for 14 consecutive weekends from July 22. The live-action film adaptation of Makoto Shinkai's 2007 anime film 5 Centimeters per Second also remained in second place in its second weekend, making 283 million yen (1.88 million USD) on 198,000 admissions (a 20.6% week-on-week drop). After two weekends of release, the film has earned a cumulative of one billion yen (6.64 million USD) on 710,000 admissions domestically. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle stayed in third place, while adding 255 million yen (1.69 million USD) on 157,000 admissions. It has now brought its 94-day domestic total to 36.7 billion yen (243.5 million USD) on 25.33 million admissions. Infinity Castle still ranks second in the all-time box office ranking in Japan and still needs four billion yen more to reach the top-grossing film, Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train with a 40.75 billion yen (270 million USD) box office record. After making a sixth place debut last weekend, Aikatsu! x Pripara THE MOVIE -Deai no Kiseki!- went down three places to ninth in its second weekend.
