Two Years After Its Premiere, ‘Gridman Universe’ Is Finally Getting a U.S. Theatrical Release — But There's a Catch

It's not that often that fans of anime movies get to see their favorite title on the big screen, and sometimes they don't even get the chance of hoping when a particular title gets released directly on streaming platforms and skips the theatrical release. This is why Gridman fans have all the reasons to celebrate: the latest installment of the franchise, Gridman Universe is finally getting a U.S. theatrical release, but there's a catch: the movie is not getting a traditional release, as it integrates the slate of titles of this year's Japan Cuts: Festival of New Japanese Film 2025.
