Tickets are free but will be first come first served, and the venue has a maximum capacity of 100 people.

Crunchyroll has previously described the film:

The time is UC 1926. The Imperial Army's 203rd Air Mage Battalion led by Major Tanya Degurechaff has won the battle to the south against the Republic's stragglers. They expected to be given a vacation after returning victorious, but instead receive special orders from Staff HQ as soon as they get home. They are told that there were signs of a large-scale deployment near the Empire-Federation border.

Faced with the prospect of a new major enemy, the desperate Empire fans the flame of war.

Meanwhile, an international volunteer army spearheaded by the Commonwealth set foot in Federation territory. As they say, the enemy of an enemy is your friend. They suffer through misfortune purely out of national interest, and among them is a young girl.

She is Warrant Officer Mary Sue, and she takes up arms hoping to bring the Empire, who killed her father, to justice.

Crunchyroll previously released a subtitled trailer, below.

The film opened in Japan on February 8, and it earned 100 million yen (about US$906,285) in its first five days. The film has earned 200 million yen (about US$1.8 million) as of February 23. The anime's 4DX screenings debuted in Japan on April 5.

Most of the staff and cast returned from the earlier television anime.
