A representative of the theater chain SM Cinema has told Anime Pilipinas that the premiere date of the anime movie Detective Conan: Sunflowers of Inferno will be moved to Wednesday, July 29.
This comes after the theater chain previously announced that they will release the film this Wednesday, July 22.
The theater chain representative says that the move was due to the delay in the film’s materials from its licensor, which is the Singapore-based ODEX Pte. Ltd.
The movie will still be screened exclusively at selected SM Cinema branches, and will still air in Original Japanese Audio with English Subtitles.
