Sony’s Mamoru Hosoda-Directed ‘Scarlet’ To Slay Theaters In December

Sony is bringing its co-production of *Scarlet*, directed by Mamoru Hosoda, alongside *Ella McKay* and *Hamnet*, to theaters on December 12, 2025. The film is produced by Studio Chizu and Nippon TV, with Sony handling global releases except in Japan, where it’s distributed by Toho. Meanwhile, Hayao Miyazaki’s *The Boy and the Heron* will open during the second frame of December 2023, a strong choice for an awards-season anime, amassing over $13 million in its first three days at the box office.
