The Dark Knight Trilogy Receiving A Theatrical Re-Release

May 19, 2020 David Gonzalez Film News, Reel Movies, Reel Talk Inc Comments Off on The Dark Knight Trilogy Receiving A Theatrical Re-Release

In an effort to bring cinephiles back to theaters, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises are headed back to movie theaters in Hong Kong and Taiwan as theaters start to reopen following closures from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The re-release of the popular Christopher Nolan directed trilogy comes as Warner Brothers is gearing up to release his upcoming film, Tenet in theaters in mid-July.

Batman Begins will play on the launch weekend for the re-release in the respective locations, The Dark Knight will play the following week, and The Dark Knight Rises will play for the finale week. Deadline reports,

“This is all in keeping with Warner Bros’ plans to bring back a number of catalogue titles around the world as cinemas ease into operations following closures forced by COVID-19,”

“In China, for example, WB earlier set plans for Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone to return to the market once movie theaters re-open.”

As it stands now, the films that are set to welcome back cinephiles to theaters are Tenet, Mulan, Wonder Woman 1984, A Quiet Place Part II and Black Widow. There is a considerable window between each release date, giving time for the studios to evaluate the releases as people start venturing out into groups again. 
As of now, there are not current plans to re-release the trilogy in the U.S.
