Spy x Family

Code White Theatrical Film Hits #5 in American Box Office

27 May 2024

Spy x Family: Code White, a 2-hour feature film based on the best-selling anime/manga series, was released in American theaters on April 19th. Although subtitled and English-dubbed versions of the film will be available for viewing at select showtimes through April 25th, the film has already accrued $4,875,000 over the weekend at the domestic box office, placing it as the 5thhighest-selling film that week in the U.S. In Spy x Family, a psychiatrist, a clerk, and their adopted 1st grader form a makeshift family—except the psychiatrist is a government spy on a mission to infiltrate a prestigious academy and hunt down a target, the clerk is an assassin, and the 1st grader is a scientific experiment-turned-telepath. Their rescue dog can also see the future. Only the 1st grader knows each of the family member's true identities and abilities, as they all suspensefully try to keep the truth a secret from one another. Heart-warming chaos ensues as the very fake family slowly threatens to become a very real family. Spy x Family: Code White is an independent entry into the Spy x Family storyline, making it accessible to both first-time viewers and long-time fans of the series. As its worldwide earnings exceed the $51,366,942-mark, Spy x Family: Code White will no doubt serve as yet another case study for the continued success of anime films that speaks to the worldwide impact of Japanese storytelling on audiences.
