It was previously announced through a special video played during the USC Trojans Football Team’s season opener game that the One Piece Film Red would open in the U.S., in October 2022. Turns out, the date for the movie had been pushed from October to November just before the game day, and so there wasn’t enough time to change the date in the video, as per ANN.

Crunchyroll has now announced on their official website on Sep 12, 2022, that they will be bringing One Piece Red Film to theatres in U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand this November.

The film has earned over 13,868,544,850 yen (about US$97.31 million) as of now, overtaking Jujutsu Kaisen 0 as the 8th highest earning anime film in Japan.

Crunchyroll describes the movie as:

Uta —the most beloved singer in the world. Renowned for concealing her own identity when performing, her voice has come to be described as “otherworldly.” Now, for the first time ever, Uta will reveal herself to the world at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans—excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance—the voice that the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins with the shocking fact that she is Shanks’ daughter.
