While the traditional time to do a rewatch is the Fourth of July weekend, if you want to see the film bigger, sharper, and possibly louder than ever before, you’ll need to hold out until the end of August to catch Universal Pictures’ celebratory 4K re-release screenings in IMAX, RealD 3D, 4DX, and D-Box.
