Neofilms Opens Gridman Universe Film in Hong Kong in August

Hong Kong film distributor Neofilms announced on Wednesday that it will open Gridman Universe, a crossover film of the SSSS.GRIDMAN and SSSS.DYNAZENON anime, in Hong Kong in August. The film will have screenings in both Chinese and English subtitles.

The film opened in Japan on March 24. The film screened in 151 theaters, and had the highest per-screen average revenue for films that screened in more than 100 theaters that weekend.

The film stars a returning cast from SSSS.GRIDMAN and SSSS.DYNAZENON.

Akira Amemiya returned to direct the film at studio Trigger. Other returning staff members include scriptwriter Keiichi Hasegawa, character designer Masaru Sakamoto, and composer Shiro Sagisu.

The SSSS.Gridman anime was the first anime in the "Gridman Universe." The 12-episode series premiered in October 2018. The anime was a collaboration between the anime studio Trigger and Tsuburaya Productions — the creator of the Ultraman franchise and the original 1993-1994 live-action tokusatsu (special-effects) series Denkō Chōjin Gridman.
