When is a popular japanese film released in the US either subbed or dubbed?

Question

A movie in Japan is releasing in February 2, 2012 - AND BOY, CAN I NOT WAIT. It's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (The English name of course...), and I think the film will be great because I'm a huge fan of the series in both manga and video games. I was wondering since it's made such a hit here in North America, if anyone has a clue as to when it'll be translated for North American viewers?

Did I say Feb 2? I meant the 11th of February, sorry >.<

No official translation has been announced yet. Given its popularity, it likely will get to US Shores in some fashion, either with subtitles or dubbed over (if only by fans, cause like I said, it's popular). Or America might try to milk it for more money and do their own version.

But we just don't know. It was only just announced a while ago, and probably hasn't even finished filming yet. Be patient, wait for the Japanese release, and then we'll see if we're getting it, and in what form, if we are.

At the very least, you can import the DVD (when it comes out), and it will probably have a subtitle feature (they'd be foolish not to).
