‘The Passion of the Christ’ to Return in Theaters in September, Ahead of May 2027 Sequel

Mel Gibson’s 2004 film will be re-released theatrically this September, with the next entry, ‘Resurrection of the Christ: Part One,’ scheduled to open in May 2027.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Mel Gibson’s 2004 biblical drama “The Passion of the Christ” is set to return to theaters with a re-release planned for September, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The theatrical return is being timed ahead of “Resurrection of the Christ: Part One,” the first film in a planned follow-up titled “Resurrection of the Christ.” That sequel is scheduled to hit theaters in May 2027, the trade publication reported.

Gibson, who directed the 2004 film, is also associated with the follow-up project, which has been positioned as a continuation of the series’ depiction of Christian scripture and the events leading to the Resurrection, The Hollywood Reporter said.

The announcements establish a staggered release approach, with “The Passion of the Christ” returning first for a September run and the newer installment arriving roughly a year and a half later.

The re-release also indicates renewed distribution attention for a film that has previously been a widely recognized faith-based movie in theatrical circulation. The trade outlet did not specify additional details in the reported item, such as the number of participating theaters, release format, or whether the September run is tied to any anniversary or special edition.

With “Resurrection of the Christ: Part One” slated for May 2027, the spacing between titles is expected to give the re-release a standalone theatrical window while building toward the next entry in the franchise, creating a longer production and marketing horizon for the follow-up.

No further information about casting, production timeline updates, or changes to release plans was included in the reported item, and additional confirmation may be required through studio or distributor announcements closer to the release dates.

Why It Matters

  • The staggered September and May 2027 schedule extends the franchise’s theatrical footprint across multiple seasons rather than concentrating activity in a single release period.
  • Faith-based audiences and church community viewing plans may be affected by the September window for “The Passion of the Christ” before the next installment arrives in 2027.
  • The timing creates a longer runway for marketing and distribution decisions tied to “Resurrection of the Christ: Part One,” which will likely require sustained coordination across theaters and exhibitors.
  • The re-release may influence box office and programming decisions for theater operators seeking family and community-oriented films during the September calendar window.
