Aniplex of America announced in November 2013 that it will screen the Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai. film under the title anohana The Movie: The Flower We Saw That Day in select theaters in the United States starting this Saturday. Aniplex of America will also screen the film in Canada on February 9 and 12. Eleven Arts is distributing the anime film with English subtitles.

Those who attend screenings will receive limited quantities of an exclusive "Letters from Menma" replica of letters the character "Menma" writes to her friends in the film. Attendees will receive real flower seeds with the replica letters.

The movie opened on August 31 in theaters across Japan. The film retells the anohana story from the character Menma's point of view with a new epilogue.
