re-releases
Movies returning theatrically
Re-releases are works—typically films, albums, or video games—issued again after their original publication, often with updates, restorations, or additional content.
A film might get a theatrical re-release for an anniversary; an album might be re-released with bonus tracks.
The verb follows the same pattern: The studio re-released the classic in 4K.
