Crunchyroll says an exclusive cinema window preserves the collective experience to sustain the film’s box-office run.

Overview

  • Citing executive Mitchel Berger, Crunchyroll confirmed the film will not be on its platform in 2025 and will remain theatrical-only until at least sometime in 2026.
  • Crunchyroll also stated there will be no digital release, rental, or legal download before 2026, reinforcing a cinema-first strategy.
  • The movie has delivered major global results with territory records, including the biggest North American opening for an anime feature and strong debuts in Japan and Spain.
  • Japan opened on July 18, followed by a coordinated international rollout that included a Sept. 7 fan preview in Mexico and a wide release there on Sept. 11 with localized dubbing.
  • Reports indicate two additional films are planned to complete the final arc, though no release dates have been announced and timing remains unconfirmed.
