Anime Expo said this about the venture:

“Anime Expo and Iconic Events Releasing are excited to announce the launch of AX Cinema Nights, an in-person movie event series that celebrates the best new and classic anime films brought to local theaters across North America. AX Cinema Nights will now give anime fans nationwide an opportunity to gather as a community in your local movie theater and share your love of the artform.”
