Crunchyroll, Sony Acquire Shinkai Anime Film for Global Release

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment have secured the rights to distribute Makoto Shinkai’s next animated feature film globally. The deal encompasses all territories outside of Asia, excluding India.

The agreement covers worldwide distribution rights for every territory except Asia – with the exception of India – for the upcoming anime from director Makoto Shinkai. This collaboration aims to bring Shinkai's latest work to a broad international audience.

Shinkai is known for directing critically and commercially successful animated films, including *Your Name.*, *Weathering With You*, and *Suzume*. Collectively, these three features have grossed $874 million worldwide. The financial success of his previous works likely contributed to the high demand for distribution rights to his next film.
