Cosmic Princess Kaguya! Is Returning to Theaters With a Massive Special Format Revival
Get ready to head back to the digital world of Tsukuyomi! If you missed out on the theatrical run of Cosmic Princess Kaguya!—or if you’re just itching to see it again on the big screen—we have some incredible news. The hit anime film is officially returning to Japanese cinemas on September 18, and this time, it’s going all out.
The latest trailer confirms that fans can catch the film in a variety of immersive formats, including MX4D, 4DX, SCREENX, ULTRA 4DX, and Dolby Atmos. It’s a huge expansion, hitting 247 theaters across the country. Considering how massive this movie was during its initial four-month run, it’s no surprise they are pulling out all the stops.
Snag Exclusive Gear Before You Go
If you’re planning to head to the theater, you’ll want to look into the advance "Muviticket" cards hitting Japanese cinemas on August 7. There are three gorgeous designs to collect, featuring Iroha, Kaguya, and Yachiyo rocking adorable "Fanatic Omatsuri Girl" outfits. Plus, each ticket purchase gets you a bonus clear poster, and digital buyers get a special group visual card. It’s a collector’s dream.
A Massive Success Story
It’s honestly impressive to see how far this film has come. When it first dropped on Netflix back in January 2026, it was an instant hit. The theatrical run was originally meant to last only a single week, but fan demand was so high that it stayed in the top 10 at the Japanese box office for 11 straight weekends. By the time it wrapped up in June, it had raked in a massive 2.7 billion yen, cementing its status as one of the top-grossing anime films of the year.
Behind the scenes, we have the talented Shingo Yamashita—the mastermind behind some of the most iconic openings for Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man—directing the film under Studio Colorido and Studio Chromato. The story itself is a wild, modern twist on a classic legend, following high schooler Iroha who finds a literal baby inside a glowing telephone pole. That baby grows up to be Kaguya, and before you know it, the two are taking the virtual streaming world by storm while trying to dodge mysterious lunar forces.
If you haven't seen it yet, or you're just looking for an excuse to experience that stellar music by Conisch in a Dolby Atmos theater, mark your calendars for September 18. This is one revival you definitely don't want to skip.
