As revealed through its new trailer, "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions" will be released on Jan. 27, and not on Jan. 20 as previously expected.

Since Jan. 20 is the Inauguration Day in the United States, President-elect Donald Trump will finally assume the highest office and will replace President Barack Obama as the new president of the United States.

The movie's makers wouldn't want the event on that date to cast shadow on the release. "Yu-Gi-Oh!" creator 4K Media partnered up with big time national cinema advertiser in October for the new movie, Comic Book reported.

It opened in Japan on April 23, and so far, the film has earned over 1 billion yen, which is about $9 million, Anime News Network reported. During the first weekend of its MX4D and 4DX screenings in Japan starting September 24, it sold 92,396 tickets, earning 133,010,600 yen, or about 1.2 million dollars. The movie screened last November 19 at the Amyu Atsugi Eiga.com Cinema.

Bigger Risks at Stake

The new "Yu-Gi-Oh!" movie is ramped up to a higher level with bigger stakes, more formidable opponents, and greater risks. One card short in the games could easily mean game over.

According to statements from the creator, the new movie was 10 years in the making. It has a whole new story and it features brand new designs. The beloved characters from Kazuki Takahashi's masterful anime will be back for this new movie. Some of those characters include Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler, Seto Kaiba, Tristan Taylor, Bakura, and more.

This is like a reunion of the characters as well as to its fans worldwide who have considered this as one of the highly anticipated "Yu-Gi-Oh!" movies ever.
