Mel Gibson’s 2004 film “The Passion of the Christ” is returning to theaters this September ahead of the release of a follow-up installment. Multiple outlets report that Lionsgate and Fathom Entertainment are re-releasing the movie, with the new version remastered in 4K and presented with Dolby Atmos sound. The theatrical run begins Sept. 10, according to reports.
The re-release comes as a lead-in to “The Resurrection of the Christ: Part One,” which is scheduled to hit theaters in May 2027. The outlets describe the sequel as the next chapter in Gibson’s biblical drama series, with the September re-release serving to renew interest in the original film before the sequel’s debut.
Together, the coverage focuses on two parallel developments: the technical refresh and limited theatrical return of “The Passion of the Christ,” and the upcoming, later theatrical release date for “The Resurrection of the Christ: Part One.”
