Muse Asia announced on Friday that it will open its screening of the Gekijōban Ansatsu Kyōshitsu Minna no Jikan (Assassination Classroom the Movie: Everybody's Time) anime film in the Philippines on May 13, in Thailand on June 4, and in Indonesia and Vietnam on June 5.
Muse Asia already opened the film in Malaysia and Singapore on Thursday.
The film opened in Japan on March 20. The film opened at #7 in Japan and earned 167,864,310 yen (about US$1.05 million) in its first three days.
Previously announced new cast includes:
The cast members from the previous television anime reprised their roles for the film.
Masaki Kitamura (After-School Hanako-kun, Gundam Evolve) directed the film at Lerche. Makoto Uezu returned to pen the script for the film, and Aya Higami (After-School Hanako-kun) designed the characters. Singer-songwriter Sora Tomonari performed the film's theme song "Teacher."
The new film contains a full collection of episodes that were left out of the anime due to time constraints. The original manga's author Yūsei Matsui stated that the film is not just a 10th anniversary project, but is also a continuation of the main story.
Matsui's Assassination Classroom manga ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2012 to 2016. The manga inspired a 22-episode television anime series that aired in 2015, and a 25-episode second season that aired in 2016. An anime film then opened in Japan in November 2016.
Assassination Classroom also inspired two live-action films that opened in Japan in March 2015 and March 2016, respectively.
