Cosm and Disney Set A New Hope Dome Presentation for 2027

Cosm and Disney have announced a multiyear, multifilm partnership that will bring a shared-reality presentation of Star Wars: A New Hope to Cosm venues in March 2027, as the original film’s 50th-anniversary celebrations begin.

The presentation will use the 2019 version of the film, placing its 16:9 image at the center of Cosm’s 12K LED dome. The companies said the surrounding visual environment will change to immerse audiences in locations and sequences from the story. The experience is being developed with Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic and MakeMake.

Cosm has not announced a specific March opening date. Tickets for screenings at its Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit and Los Angeles locations are expected to go on sale in 2027. The company describes the film as its sixth shared-reality cinema release.

The announcement is part of a wider slate of plans for the franchise’s anniversary year. Lucasfilm and Disney have also announced that the original 1977 Star Wars will return to theaters on February 19, 2027. The rerelease is planned for several formats, including IMAX 70mm, digital IMAX, 4DX and D-BOX, and will include a newly orchestrated score by John Williams.
