Jujutsu Kaisen Movie Sets Streaming Date — But There’s a Catch Fans Won’t Like
Jujutsu Kaisen is back in the spotlight: fresh off the Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution film and with Season 3 on the horizon, the franchise has one more ace up its sleeve — a surprise streaming release fans won’t want to miss.
Jujutsu Kaisen is having a moment again. We just got the Execution movie in theaters, Season 3 is on the way, and now there is a new twist: the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death compilation film is finally heading to streaming. There is a catch, though — it is only confirmed for Japan right now.
So, what is this compilation movie again?
This is a theatrical re-edit of the first five episodes of Season 2, cleaned up and remastered for the big screen with an updated sound mix and an acoustic theme track. It zeroes in on Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto back when they were students, and walks through the chain of events that ultimately turns Geto into, well, the guy we meet later. If you saw Season 2, you know the broad strokes — but the movie version does slip in a few new illustrations and frames you would not have seen on TV. It is a remix with some bonus flavor, not just a straight export.
Release timeline and where to watch (in Japan)
- Japan theatrical release: May 30, 2025
- US theatrical release: July 16, 2025
- Japan digital rental/download: December 17, 2025
- Japanese platforms listed by the official site: Telasa, U-Next, Prime Video, Niconico Channel, DMM TV, Anime Hodai, Kansai TV Doga, and Crank-in! Video
- Official title on the site: 'Jujutsu Kaisen: The Movie - Compilation Film: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death'
- Why the streaming drop matters: not everyone caught the limited theatrical run, and this version includes a few moments that were not in the TV episodes
Will it stream internationally?
Not confirmed yet. The official announcement only covers Japan. That said, the fact that this cut includes some extra touches makes an international rollout feel more like a 'when' than an 'if'. I would expect an update in the coming weeks, and if past JJK release patterns hold, early 2026 is a reasonable window for worldwide streaming. Emphasis on 'reasonable' — nothing official has been announced.
Where this leaves Execution and Season 3
Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution just hit theaters, and that one is likely to take its time getting to streaming. The safer bet is that Execution lands after Season 3 starts airing, so the viewing order and marketing do not trip over each other. MAPPA has every incentive to pace these drops — the franchise is massive, the endgame arcs are only boosting interest, and a staggered schedule keeps the spotlight moving.
Numbers and where to watch the series
For the compilation film, the current scores floating around are IMDb 7.9/10 and a MAL score of 8.11. If you want to revisit the show itself, Jujutsu Kaisen is streaming on Crunchyroll.
Do you think we are getting another Jujutsu Kaisen movie before the anime wraps? I would not rule it out. Tell me what you are expecting from Season 3 and beyond.
