Like Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man before it, Jujutsu Kaisen is hitting the big time with an IMAX run. The catch? It’s a very brief one.
The upcoming Execution movie—made up of the last episodes of season two and the first episodes of season three—will come to the format for a one-day-only screening on December 3 as part of an Early Access event. Tickets for the event are going on sale soon, and to further incentivize fans, GKids has put out a new trailer that’s been playing ahead of Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc.
Jujutsu Kaisen is the latest movie to vie for IMAX; earlier this week saw reports of The Shining and the original Star Wars getting re-releases that also include the large-screen format. If that weren’t enough, Christopher Nolan’s 2026 epic The Odyssey has spurred Regal Cinemas and Cinemark to upgrade or build entirely new theaters after audiences flocked to buy tickets a full year before the movie even comes out. It’s even more important for this film since it’s the first feature-length film in Hollywood to be shot entirely in 70mm IMAX, which wasn’t possible before—2027’s Dune: Part Three will also be shot like that, but only some scenes.
So if you’re a format head, you’ve got quite a few IMAX movies to watch in the coming year, including December 5’s Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution.
