Newly remastered in stunning 4K with Dolby Atmos sound, offering audiences the opportunity to experience again—or for the very first time—the cinematic event that became a global phenomenon.

The special theatrical engagement also marks the beginning of the journey toward Gibson’s The Resurrection of the Christ: Part One. His most ambitious filmmaking achievement—and the largest faith film ever brought to the screen—the epic arrives exclusively in theatres May 6, 2027. The re-release of The Passion of the Christ invites audiences to rediscover the film as an unforgettable, communal cinematic event before they return to theatres for the next film in 2027.

For this special theatrical presentation, The Passion of the Christ has been meticulously remastered from the original camera negative in 4K resolution.

Audiences attending the re-release of The Passion of the Christ will see an exclusive, behind-the-scenes sneak peek of The Resurrection of the Christ, the highly anticipated new film, which tells the story of Christ’s victory over death after His greatest sacrifice—a moment that forever changed the course of humanity and continues one of history’s most consequential and enduring stories.
