Sony-owned anime distributor Crunchyroll is bringing Japan’s current box office behemoth One Piece Film Red to North American cinemas later this year.
The fifteenth One Piece feature, which has already grossed more than $93 million at the Japanese box office, will hit American theaters on November 4, one day after it lands in Australia and New Zealand. The film will also get theatrical releases in Austria and Germany on October 13.
Sony, and more specifically Crunchyroll, are redefining the theatrical landscape for anime features in North America and proving that popular Japanese animated films can routinely pull in more than $30 million at the box office.
