\n\tSony\u2019s Crunchyroll has snapped up global distribution rights to anime hitmaker Makoto Shinkai\u2018s much-anticipated next feature.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe anime streamer will co-distribute the untitled project with Sony Pictures Entertainment across the world excluding Asia \u2014 with the exception of India, which is grouped with the Western territories. Crunchyroll said Tuesday that the film\u2019s title, plot details and expected timing are all being kept under wraps for now.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile exceedingly little about the new feature is known, Shinkai is unmistakably one of anime\u2019s biggest blockbuster names. His breakthrough feature Your Name<\/em> grossed $358 million worldwide in 2016, a landmark in anime\u2019s international expansion. Weathering With You<\/em> followed in 2019 with $193 million, and 2022\u2019s Suzume<\/em> took roughly $323 million. All three features rank high among the top-grossing anime films of all time.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new film will follow the same distribution path as Suzume<\/em>, which was handled jointly by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures. The film bowed in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival and went on to earn a Golden Globe nomination for best animated feature after earning more than $10 million in U.S. theaters.<\/p>\n

\n\tShinkai, 53, has released a feature roughly every three years \u2014 Your Name<\/em> in 2016, Weathering With You<\/em> in 2019, Suzume<\/em> in 2022 \u2014 and anticipation has been building among anime fandom over the past four years about what his next work might be. The director broke his silence in a New Year\u2019s social media message in January, writing that he would finally be able to share concrete details about his next film sometime this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Crunchyroll, the deal extends a theatrical run that has made the Sony-owned company the dominant Western distributor of Japanese animation \u2014 it claims 12 of the 20 top-grossing anime releases in U.S. history, including Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle<\/em>, last year\u2019s global phenomenon.<\/p>\n
