‘Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution’ Opens in U.S. Theaters, Bridging to Season 3

The release functions as a big-screen bridge into January’s Culling Game arc.

Overview

  • The wide U.S. theatrical rollout began Dec. 5, with screenings in standard formats and IMAX.
  • The 90-minute feature condenses the Shibuya Incident before presenting opening material from Season 3.
  • Critics broadly praise MAPPA’s visuals but say the compressed recap undercuts emotion and accessibility for newcomers.
  • The film reintroduces Yuta Okkotsu as Yuji Itadori’s designated executioner and features a marquee faceoff without resolving the larger conflict.
  • It ends on a cliffhanger that sets up the TV return scheduled for Jan. 8, 2026.
