'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World' 10th Anniversary Screenings Are Expanding, And A 4K Ultra HD Release Is Coming Too
Last weekend, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World returned to select theaters for the film's 10th anniversary. It's actually been 11 years since the movie was released in theaters, but the coronavirus pandemic ruined what would have been last year's celebrations, so here we are. And it turns out fans were so happy to return to theaters for Edgar Wright's adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's graphic novel series that Universal Pictures will be expanding the anniversary screenings to even more theaters.
But don't worry if you're not ready to head back to movie theaters just yet. Because this summer will bring Scott Pilgrim vs. the World home in 4K Ultra HD for the first time ever.
When Scott Pilgrim vs. the World returned to theaters last weekend, it was only in Dolby Cinemas locations with a completely new never-before-seen version of the movie that has been recalibrated for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. That meant the opportunities for some to see the movie for the exclusive one-week engagement (which ends today) were not very plentiful. Thankfully, Universal is letting more people get in on the fun, and Edgar Wright announced the good news:
#ScottPilgrim just got a 1UP! 🎮 The exclusive 1 week re-release in #DolbyCinema ends tomorrow, BUT if you weren't able to see it in a theatre, you can still get the big screen experience of Scott Pilgrim as it expands in @amctheatres & other theaters from Friday in the US! pic.twitter.com/AHW9ckVGsV

Starting tomorrow, you'll be able to see Scott Pilgrim vs. the World in 451 total screens across the United States (via Collider), and not just Dolby Cinema screens. The wider release includes AMC Theatres locations and some other theaters across the country. Unfortunately, a full theater list wasn't available at the time of publication, so you'll have to check your local listings to see where the movie is playing. This apparently isn't just a one-week engagement either, so you should have plenty of time to check it out on the big screen.
For those across the pond hoping for a re-release, Wright added, "I am not in charge of international distribution, nor am I 100% reliable customer service, but there are some Dolby level rumblings for some summer screenings in the UK and a hope to be back in Canada soon."
The good news is that this summer you can have your own Scott Pilgrim vs. the World anniversary screening:
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World will be available on 4K Ultra HD for the first time ever, presenting movie with the best video and audio of the movie possible on home video. Arriving on July 6, 2021, here are all the special features you'll get with this release:
Plus, there are four total feature commentaries, as well as commentaries on the deleted scenes:
None of these special features are new, but the inclusion of the Dolby Vision version of the movie is a solid addition. At the very least, it will be good to have this movie available in the best home video format possible.
Game on! Scott Pilgrim just met the girl of his dreams...literally. But in order for them to date, he must defeat her seven evil exes — a rogues' gallery — including an infamous skateboarder, a vegan rock star and fearsome identical twins! From the genre-smashing director of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead comes "a true original" (Entertainment Weekly) powered up by wit, action and groundbreaking visuals that you will want to watch again as soon as it's over!
