Overview
- The release combines Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 into a roughly 275‑minute presentation with a 15‑minute intermission across about 1,100–1,200 North American screens.
- Tarantino’s intended structure is restored with reordered revelations, an expanded Production I.G. anime backstory for O‑Ren Ishii, and previously trimmed violence and color restored in key sequences.
- A new post‑credits Fortnite tie‑in short, The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge, premiered in‑game on November 30 and is appended theatrically, drawing criticism for its look and relevance.
- Reviews widely commend the cohesion of the single cut and spotlight Uma Thurman’s performance, while some critics argue the extended runtime and added gore feel indulgent.
- Early box‑office reports cite about $1.6 million on opening day with weekend projections near $4 million, and one outlet notes an initial Rotten Tomatoes snapshot based on a small sample.
