Crunchyroll Launches Anime Nights Monthly Theatrical Program

At SDCC 2025, Crunchyroll announced a new Anime Nights monthly theatrical anime feature film program launching across North America.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Crunchyroll announced Crunchyroll Anime Nights, a new monthly theatrical program designed to honor the past, elevate the present, and celebrate the future of anime, all unleashed with an optimal viewing experience on the big screen every third Monday of the month. Crunchyroll plans to create an unforgettable theatrical experience to honor the deep connection between anime, its creators, and fans. Once a month, select theaters will spotlight everything anime has to offer – featuring fan-favorite films, curated television episodes, anniversaries, classic titles, and exclusive previews of upcoming streaming series from Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment's vast anime libraries. The program launches this October in more than 225 theaters across participating chains throughout the U.S., including Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, AMC Theatres, Regal, Cinemark Theatres, Harkins Theatres, and Landmark Cinemas across the U.S.

"Anime Nights offers more than a screening – it's a shared experience that honors the art form, invites fans into the world of creators, and brings anime to life in a theatrical setting," said Mitchel Berger, Executive Vice President of Commerce. "Crunchyroll is committed to the theatrical experience, and there's something powerful about watching beloved anime surrounded by friends and fellow fans in a theater. It's a unique opportunity to connect to the anime community every month to honor stories they love."
