Today(15 July 2024), the official Instagram account of PVR CINEMAS released the trailer for the upcoming movie in Indian theatres “Spy X Family Code: White” on 19th July.
The catch was that the official trailer released on PVR Cinemas’ official Instagram ID is the same trailer uploaded by Crunchyroll for the North American Release Back in March. Even the thumbnail of the PVR Version is the same as the Crunchyroll thumbnail they used:
In North American cinemas, Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures distributed this movie, however in India, this movie is distributed by PVR-INOX Pictures as mentioned in the credits of the official poster released by PVR-INOX Pictures on 1st of July 2024:
The problem is not over yet, even in the PVR version trailer, it is mentioned that the movie is coming in April 2024 but the thing is April 2024 was the release date for North American Cinemas, not India. The Indian Release date of this movie is 19 July 2024.
The funniest technical error was the whole PVR Version trailer was in English Dub, but according to BookMyShow and PVR’s official website, this movie will be released only in Japanese Language with English Subtitles.
This major technical error caused a buzz in the Indian Anime community where some guys got false hope about this movie releasing in English dub and some fans even complained about the half-hearted work by PVR.
Similar errors also happened during the release of Haikyu the Dumpster Battle when the official trailer uploaded by the PVR team displayed a different release date than the actual release date of the movie which again caused a lot of confusion in the Indian anime community.
Spy X Family Code: White anime film was released in Japanese Theatres on December 22, 2023. It is revealed that as of January 15, 2024, this movie has exceeded 4.5 Billion Yen in Japan.
This movie will be released on Blu-Ray DVD in Japan on July 31, 2024.
