EVANGELION:3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME Gets North American Theatrical Dates

Earlier this year, it was announced that GKIDS had acquired the North American rights for the anime film Evangelion:3.0+1.01 Thrice Upon a Time. This movie serves as the final installment of the Rebuild editions of Evangelion and it’s finally coming to theaters in North America. When announced, no dates were provided, but GKIDS recently gave us the theater dates! North American fans can enjoy screenings on December 6, 8, and 11 in participating theaters. Hideaki Anno, the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion, serves as director for the film and this is exciting!

From legendary director Hideaki Anno, EVANGELION:3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME is the fourth and final installment of the REBUILD OF EVANGELION films, bringing an epic conclusion to the story of Shinji and his fellow Eva pilots, with the stunning visuals and thought-provoking storytelling that has made EVANGELION a global pop culture phenomenon.

Misato and her anti-NERV group Wille arrive at Paris, a city now red from core-ization. Crew from the flagship Wunder land on a containment tower. They only have 720 seconds to restore the city. When a horde of NERV Evas appear, Mari’s improved Eva Unit 8 must intercept. Meanwhile, Shinji, Asuka, and Rei (Provisional Name) wander about Japan.

Evangelion has become a quintessential anime series, so this is a real treat. To get ready for Thrice Upon a Time, fans can watch the original series on Netflix, or via Blu-ray and digital. The previous Evangelion films are available through Blu-ray and digital. Tickets for Thrice Upon a Time will be available starting on November 2 at Fathom Events, GKIDS, and participating theaters.
