Spy x Family Code: White is the highly anticipated first feature-length film of the popular anime series Spy x Family. Since its release in December, the film has taken Japan by storm and has already achieved significant success. It dominated the Japanese box office for four consecutive weeks, securing its position as the number-one film. With an impressive gross of over $37 million, Spy x Family Code: White is poised to become one of the highest-grossing Japanese films of all time.
Now, Western audiences can join in on the excitement as Sony Pictures and Crunchyroll announce the North American release of Spy x Family Code: White. On April 19, fans in the United States can finally experience the thrilling adventures of the Forger family in both English and Japanese on the big screen. The relatively short turnaround from its Japanese release to the North American release is sure to please eager fans who have been eagerly awaiting its arrival.
Spy x Family Code: White follows the Forger family's double lives in another episodic story. When Loid, the spy father, faces the possibility of being removed from Operation Strix, he takes his family on a winter vacation. Their goal is to obtain special ingredients for Anya's school cooking competition, hoping her victory will prove their continued worth. However, as is typical in Spy x Family fashion, their seemingly innocent vacation becomes entangled in a dire conflict that has the potential to change the fate of the world. Witnessing how the Forger family navigates this unexpected turmoil will undoubtedly be a thrilling experience for both new and established fans.
Given the massive success Spy x Family Code: White has achieved in Japan, it's natural to wonder if it can replicate this triumph in North America. Spy x Family has already garnered a considerable following among American fans and critics alike, and the success of Code: White only amplifies its popularity. With the film's impending release in North America this spring, there is a strong possibility that it will capture the hearts of audiences and match or surpass its Japanese triumph.
However, it's worth noting that Spy x Family is not as monumental as other renowned anime franchises such as Dragon Ball, Jujutsu Kaisen, or Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, all of which experienced tremendous box office success with their recent film adaptations. Spy x Family may not reach the same heights as these anime juggernauts in terms of North American box office figures.
Nevertheless, Spy x Family Code: White is set to be an exceptional addition to the franchise, offering fans an immersive experience and true to the playful spirit of the anime series. The upcoming release this spring is undoubtedly going to be met with a well-deserved fanfare, as enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the continuation of the Forger family's captivating story.
