Sadly, the movie is scheduled to debut exclusively in Japan on August 2. This means that those outside of Japan may have to endure several additional months of anticipation. This is confirmed by the announcement that the film will hit North American theaters on October 11, 2024.

Fans from different parts of the world may have to endure a longer wait. However, it is expected that the announcements regarding its release will be made shortly after the movie premieres in Japan.
