Prince’s Iconic 1987 Performance to Hit IMAX Screens Worldwide
For the first time ever, Prince’s legendary concert film Sign O’ The Times will be released exclusively in IMAX theaters worldwide for a limited one-week run starting August 29, 2025. This unprecedented event brings the Purple One’s 1987 masterpiece back to the big screen in stunning fashion, allowing a new generation and longtime fans alike to experience Prince’s genius in the most immersive format available.
Originally released in 1987, Sign O’ The Times had only a brief theatrical run, but it quickly became a cult favorite on home video – and fans have waited over three decades for its return to cinemas. Critics heaped praise on Prince’s electrifying performance – one magazine even declared it “the greatest concert movie ever made”. Directed by Prince himself at the height of his creativity, the film blends dynamic live concert footage with scripted story scenes. It showcases Prince at his peak, complete with dazzling stagecraft and iconic songs like “If I Was Your Girlfriend” and the Sheena Easton duet “U Got The Look”, underscoring his timeless impact on music and pop culture.
Now, nearly four decades later, Sign O’ The Times returns remastered for IMAX. The concert footage has been enhanced with IMAX’s cutting-edge technology – expect crystal-clear visuals and thunderous surround sound for a truly immersive experience. This limited engagement (one week only) is being distributed by IMAX in the U.S. and by Pathé Live internationally, with special preview screenings planned in New York, Los Angeles, and Prince’s hometown of Minneapolis ahead of the official release. Mark your calendars for August 29, because this IMAX debut offers a rare chance to witness Prince’s iconic performance as never before.
