'Psycho-Pass' Movie US Release Dates Confirmed By Funimation

After a year of announcements, a re-edit of season one, and a second season, "Psycho-Pass" fans will finally get to watch the movie adaptation.

Well, you'll get to watch it if you live near the 100 theaters that Funimation has distributed it.

This weekend, Funimation announced the official "Psycho-Pass" movie release dates for both the U.S. and Canada. Fans will get to check out the feature length original story in the world of "Psycho-Pass" on March 15 and March 16. Ticket pre-orders for the screenings will be available on Feb. 18 via the official Funimation website.

Funimation EVP and COO Mike DuBoise made a statement about the "Psycho-Pass" movie announcement that urged fans to make use of the pre-sale tickets.

"Since this is a very limited, two-day theatrical release, we are encouraging fans to purchase tickets in advance so they don't miss out," said DuBoise.

The "Psycho-Pass" movie was relased in Japan in January 2015 and grabbed about $2.08 million in the box office. Funimation describes the plot of the "Psycho-Pass" movie as follows:

"In a futuristic Japan, the Sibyl System is charged with keeping the peace. Using extensive surveillance and biological monitoring to gauge the likelihood that individuals will commit a crime, the police are able to use weapons called Dominators to remove potential criminals from the population before they become a problem. Confident with the success of the System within their own borders, the Japanese government has begun to export the technology to other countries, planning to ultimately spread the System across the globe." 

"When the state of SEAUn brings the Sibyl System in to test its effectiveness, it becomes a haven of peace and safety-for a time. Eventually, terrorists from SEAUn begin appearing in Japan, somehow slipping through the System's security and attacking from within. Desperate for answers, Inspector Akane Tsunemori is sent overseas to bring the terrorists to justice. But when her investigation forces her into a standoff with an old ally, will she be able to pull the trigger?"
