Neofilms Opens SSSS.Gridman, SSSS.Dynazenon Compilation Films on August 17, Gridman Universe on August 24

Hong Kong film distributor Neofilms announced on July 12 that it will begin screening the compilation films for the SSSS.Gridman and SSSS.Dynazenon anime in Hong Kong simultaneously on August 17, before opening its screening of the Gridman Universe crossover anime film in Hong Kong on August 24.

The Gridman Universe 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.
