No Game, No Life Zero Film Tops 500 Million Yen at Box Office
posted on by Karen Ressler
The official Twitter account for the No Game, No Life anime announced on Friday that the No Game, No Life Zero film's box office total topped 500 million yen (about US$4.6 million) this week.
The film opened in Japan on July 15, and will get 4DX screenings at 48 theaters in Japan beginning on September 9. Sentai Filmworks will screen the film with an English dub at the Los Angeles Anime Film Festival on September 15, and in Japanese with English subtitles the day after. A wider release is slated for fall 2017 in the United States. Azoland Pictures is handling theatrical distribution.
Sentai Filmworks describes the story:
Six thousand years before Sora and Shiro were even a blink in the history of Disboard, war consumed the land, tearing apart the heavens, destroying stars, and even threatening to wipe out the human race. Amid the chaos and destruction, a young man named Riku leads humanity toward the tomorrow his heart believed in. One day, in the ruins of an Elf city, he meets Shuvi, a female exiled "Ex-machina" android who asks him to teach her what it means to have a human heart.
Although the film features the same main cast members as the previous television anime, many of them are credited as characters who lived six millennia before Sora and Shiro came into the alternate world. However, the film's latest visual (pictured right) shows returning characters, including Sora and Shiro.
