Made in Abyss: Journey's Dawn (劇場版総集編【前編】メイドインアビス 旅立ちの夜明け), a 2019 compilation film from the popular anime series, will play in US theaters in March.
No one knows what’s at the bottom of the Abyss. No one who's ventured that far has ever returned. What is known is that the Abyss is filled with strange creatures and priceless relics that have lured generations of fortune hunters into a diabolical trap. Because while anyone can descend into the Abyss safely, coming back up triggers a nightmarish series of transformations and madness. And the deeper you go, the less chance you have of coming back unchanged. But when 12-year-old Riko receives a message that her missing mother might still be alive deep in the Abyss, she knows she has to go to her. She must go even if it's a one-way trip for her and her robot friend Reg as they brave the ultimate darkness in MADE IN ABYSS.The March 20 screening will be subtitled, while the March 25 screening will be dubbed in English. Tickets are not yet available, though if other films from this distributor are any indication, it will play at the Pittsburgh-area Cinemarks.
This exclusive event will include behind-the-scenes footage, Japanese created spots, and a reflection on how MADE IN ABYSS mirrors fairytales.
