It’s not the end of This Is The End in theaters. Sony Pictures will be re-releasing the R-rated comedy hit in theaters on Friday, September 6, 2013.

And given the lack of quality films currently in theaters, This Is The End could find itself finishing up its relaunch in 2,000+ theaters propelling it back onto the box office Top 10 list.

Per Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures President Rory Bruer: “This Is The End really struck a chord with comedy moviegoers this summer. For everyone who didn’t get a chance to see it – or saw it and loved it and wants to see it again on the big screen – we are thrilled to have it back in theaters.”

Directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, This Is The End stars Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, and Craig Robinson with cameo appearances by dozens of recognizable actors including Emma Watson, David Krumholtz, Michael Cera, Rihanna, Paul Rudd, Channing Tatum, Kevin Hart, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. The film was originally released on June 3, 2013 and earned $96.8 million during its first theatrical run.

The Plot: This Is The End follows six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles. As the world unravels outside, dwindling supplies and cabin fever threaten to tear apart the friendships inside. Eventually, they are forced to leave the house, facing their fate and the true meaning of friendship and redemption.
