The Last Blossom Film Rescreens October 13 After Subtitle Errors
GKIDS has announced that The Last Blossom will rescreen in theaters on October 13 following technical issues during its initial limited run. The distributor originally scheduled screenings for August 30 and 31, but English subtitles were found to be out of sync by several seconds in the digital cinema package used for those dates.
Upon discovering the glitch, GKIDS instructed theaters to cancel affected shows and issue refunds while they worked to resolve the problem. Although a corrected version was provided on August 31, not all venues could update their systems in time, leading to further cancellations. The company apologized for the disruption and confirmed it was reviewing options for makeup screenings.
The film, which opened in Japan in October 2025 and previously appeared at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, is now set to play again on the same day it launches digitally on home video.
