Weathering With You Returns to Theaters For A Limited Time

The award winning Weathering With You will return to select theaters on July 25 and 27, courtesy of distributor GKIDS.

GKIDS announced the new limited engagement on their Twitter account. Screenings on July 25 will feature the English dub of the movie, while the original Japanese audio with subtitles will be screened on July 27. The movie will also be available in 4D theaters for fans seeking a more immersive experience. Weathering With You debuted in Japanese theaters in 2019, where it made over 35 billion yen at the Japanese box office. It was originally released in North America by GKIDS in January 2020.

Weathering With You tells the story of Hodaka Morishima, a troubled teenager who runs away to Tokyo and meets Hina Amano, a young girl who bears the responsibility of caring for her much younger brother, and who possesses the mysterious ability to clear the sky of clouds when it rains. The two decide to a start a business, using Hina's powers to ensure sunny weather for businesses and weddings, but things get complicated when the police start looking for Hodaka and the side effects of Hina's abilities start to appear.

The movie is the latest work by Makoto Shinkai, who previously directed the critically acclaimed Your Name, as well as films such as The Garden of Words and 5 Centimeters Per Second. Known for his ability to create sentimentally gripping narratives, Shinkai is frequently ranked alongside directors such as Satoshi Kon (Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue) and Mamoru Hosoda (Summer Wars, Belle) as one of the premier anime directors to emerge within the last twenty years.

Weathering With You is also currently available for streaming on HBO Max.
