One of the biggest annual trade shows for the movie industry, CinemaCon is an event that has become more and more of a mainstay in the annual pop culture sphere. Specifically dedicated to both movies as well as the craft of physical movie theaters, there was no better stage for Crunchyroll to announce a large slate of theatrical film releases for the North American market and beyond.
As anime continues to become more of a mainstay in global pop culture, the Sony-owned platform revealed its plans to bring 2010s and 2020s cult classic franchises to the big screen.

With a Japanese theatrical run beginning in April, the North American theatrical distribution is set to come to theaters on June 28, 2024. Earlier this week, Crunchyroll also revealed a first-look teaser trailer:
Rounding out the announcements is a new feature film based around one of the 2010s most popular pulp seinen titles, Overlord. Adapted from the light novel series by Kugane Maruyama, Overlord was one of the biggest titles of the MMO-gone-wild subgenre of isekai that was massively popular in the mid-2010s, along with titles like Sword Art Online and Log Horizon which helped set the stage for the juggernaut genre that isekai has become today.
Picking up after the fourth season of the successful anime series, yet aiming to be standalone and accessible in its own right, the highly anticipatedSacred Kingdom f
