Your Name 10th Anniversary: Theatrical Return and 4K Release Details

Your Name is turning 10, and Makoto Shinkai’s genre-defining anime is getting a proper anniversary send-off. Distributor GKIDS has confirmed that the film returns to North American theaters on August 14, 2026, as a 4K remaster at select AMC venues, with a first-ever 4K Blu-ray Steelbook following on August 25. The film premiered in Japan on August 26, 2016, so the home release lands almost exactly on the anniversary date itself.

Here’s what’s confirmed. The theatrical run kicks off August 14 at participating AMC theaters, arriving eleven days ahead of the actual anniversary. The 4K Blu-ray Steelbook drops August 25 and includes a Shinkai interview, clean opening and closing credit sequences, and the film’s original Japanese teaser trailers as bonus material. The Steelbook packaging features lead characters Mitsuha and Taki against an evening sky on the cover, with an illustration of Comet Tiamat, the celestial body driving the film’s plot, on the interior.

Why Your Name Still Matters a Decade Later

Written and directed by Shinkai, produced by CoMix Wave Films, and distributed in Japan by Toho, the film follows rural high schooler Mitsuha and Tokyo student Taki after they start waking up in each other’s bodies. What plays out as a body-swap comedy for most of the runtime turns into something far more emotional once the story reveals what’s actually connecting them. Ryunosuke Kamiki and Mone Kamishiraishi voice the leads, with RADWIMPS providing the soundtrack that became inseparable from the film’s identity.

The numbers back up why GKIDS is treating this milestone seriously. The movie has pulled in $405.3 million worldwide since its 2016 debut, a figure that still stands out among anime films released outside a major existing franchise. Before Demon Slayer reset expectations for what an anime movie could earn at the box office, this one was already proving that an original, non-franchise anime film could fill theaters on the strength of the story alone.

The anniversary push isn’t limited to North America, either. Shinkai’s own catalog got a live tribute earlier in 2026, with a concert event in Tokyo pairing footage from the film, Weathering with You, and Suzume with a live performance from the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, underscoring how tightly the music and visuals are tied together a decade on.

What’s Next

With the AMC run and Blu-ray release both locked in for August, the next thing to watch is how wide the theatrical booking ends up once AMC finalizes its participating venue list. GKIDS hasn’t detailed an international rollout beyond North America and the earlier Japan-based concert event, so fans outside those regions should keep an eye on regional distributors for their own anniversary screenings.
