The anime movie trapezium, which hit Japanese theaters in May, is getting a very brief (and I mean brief) theatrical screening in America and Canada. Tickets are already available, and Crunchyroll will screen the movie on September 18. As of now, it will only screen on that date. Here’s a trailer for it.

While anime movies in American theaters are usually offered both subbed and dubbed, trapezium will only offer a subtitled version on the big screen.
Asaki Yuikawa plays Yu Higashi, Hina Yomiya play Kurumi Taiga, Reina Ueda plays Ranko Katori, Haruka Aikawa plays Mika Kamei, Shoya Kimata plays Shinji Kudo and Teruyoshi Uchimura plays Shuichi Itami.
The movie was made at CloverWorks, with Masahiro Shinohara helming the project as director. The screenplay was penned by Yuuko Kakihara, who is known for working on The Apothecary Diaries.
Previously, people were able to check out the first few minutes of the movie.
Crunchyroll gave this description for trapezium:
trapezium Summary
Driven by an unwavering passion for becoming an idol, Yu Azuma, a young, ambitious first-year student at Joshu East High School, embarks on a journey to form an idol group. To make her dream a reality, she recruits one girl from each of her region’s four high schools (located to the north, east, south, and west) and soon finds her fellow group members.
Joining Yu is Ranko Kashima, a sophisticated second-year student at Holy Teneritas Southern Girls’ Academy, with a distinctive curly hairstyle and admiration for Ochofujin (“Madame Butterfly”); Kurumi Taiga, a student at West Tech Vocational High School, who wears cute, oversized jackets with long sleeves and dreams of winning the championship at a robotics competition; and, Mika Kamei, a student who also hails from Joshu North High School, is known for being a kind-hearted girl and for her dedication to volunteering.
With the help of Shinji Kudo, Yu’s “collaborator” and confidante, these four young girls set off on the road to stardom. But the journey hides unexpected trials, rigorous demands, setbacks and pressures, threatening to undo all that Yu has worked so hard for.
