The list of selected movie theaters is posted on Anime News Network and features various designated locations around the U.S. such as cinemas around California, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington and even Hawaii. It was reported that the screenings will commence on October 10 and that the film will have English subtitles instead of dubbing.

Kishimoto also worked as chief production supervisor for the film. He is credited with penning the original story as well as creating character designs. 'Boruto: Naruto the Movie' is considered the 11^th Naruto film ever released and received massive success upon its release.

The animated film follows the stories of the children of the original series' main protagonists. Its events pick up several years after the original anime's conclusion where Naruto is recognized as his village's Seventh Hokage. His son, Boruto, is introduced in the film along with Sasuke Uchiha's daughter Sarada as they join the Chunin Exams hosted by the Hidden Leaf Village.

It was speculated that Kishimoto may further explore Boruto and Sarada's relationship in a possible spin-off. According to Christian Today, the Japanese manga artist expressed his desire to continue the story of the Konoha ninjas but said that it was only a possibility and nothing more. It was reported that  should a spin-off happen, it may feature Sasuke's point of view as well as adventures.

'Boruto: Naruto The Movie' is the 11^th film in the popular Naruto franchise. It was directed by Hiroyuki Yamashita based on a screenplay by original creator Masashi Kishimoto and co-writer Ukyo Kodachi. It features the voices of Yuko Sanpei as Boruto Uzumaki, Kokoro Kikuchi as Sarada Uchiha, Junko Takeuchi as Naruto Uzumaki and Noriaki Sugiyama as Sasuke Uchiha.
