Overview
- The once-rare single-film cut is rolling out widely today across nearly 1,200 North American locations.
- Advance ticket sales surpassed $2 million and many 35mm/70mm presentations are nearly sold out, with Lionsgate considering extending the run.
- The presentation runs roughly 275–281 minutes and includes a 15-minute intermission.
- Restored and expanded material features an extended O-Ren Ishii anime chapter and the Tokyo fight sequence in full color, reflecting an unrated presentation free of prior MPAA edits.
- Cross-platform tie-ins include a Fortnite cosmetic and a new Unreal Engine animated short that screens with the film, as critics praise the version’s cohesion and pacing.
