Gridman Universe Film Opens in Malaysia on Saturday

Hong Kong film distributor Neofilms announced on Wednesday that its screening of Gridman Universe, a crossover film of the SSSS.GRIDMAN and SSSS.DYNAZENON anime, will open in Malaysia with a fan screening this Saturday and Sunday, before regular screenings open on October 12.

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.

SSSS.DYNAZENON premiered in April 2021 and aired for 12 episodes.
