Akira is coming back to theaters in IMAX 4K.
Technically, the 4K remaster already got a one-day IMAX screening in September 2020 and you can buy it on disc, but it’s finally coming back to US and Canadian theaters on September 4th, 2026. Few animated films have ever been so influential; countless works have paid homage to the Akira slide alone.
