A new poster visual for the Spy x Family Code: White movie has been released to celebrate its continued strong performance at the Japanese box office. The movie received the visual after making more than 4.85 billion yen (US$33.42 million).
Spy x Family Code: White took in 317 million yen (~US$2.18 million) during the January 12 to 14 weekend period and stayed at the top spot with 227 thousand attendees. Its total moviegoer count is 3.61 million so far. The film premiered on December 22, 2023.
Separately, it was announced that Anya will be featured in the marketing of KATE Tokyo‘s upcoming Popping Silhouette Shadow eyeshadow, which is set to launch on January 20, as its “official ‘agent’.” There will be an eight-day online campaign, lasting from January 15 to 22, where those interested can take part in “special missions” for a chance to win free items.
Spy x Family Code: White is mainly set in the Frigis region, which the Forgers visit on a family trip after Loid suggests to Anya that she make the region’s melemele confectionary. The melemele is a favourite of Eden Academy’s principal, who is presiding over a cooking competition that rewards the winner with a Stella Star. While Yor deals with feelings of uneasiness after seeing Loid with a mysterious woman prior to the trip, Anya ends up swallowing chocolate found in a suspicious trunk, with said chocolate containing a world-shaking secret.
