In celebration of its 20th anniversary, Joe Wright’s acclaimed adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride & Prejudice” is set to return to theaters nationwide for a limited engagement starting April 20, 2025. This re-release offers both longtime fans and new audiences the opportunity to experience the timeless romance of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy on the big screen once again.
Originally released in 2005, “Pride & Prejudice” garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, grossing over $122 million globally. The film received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress for Keira Knightley’s portrayal of Elizabeth Bennet. Matthew Macfadyen co-stars as the enigmatic Mr. Darcy, with a supporting cast featuring Judi Dench, Donald Sutherland, Brenda Blethyn, Rosamund Pike, and Carey Mulligan in her film debut.
The narrative follows Elizabeth Bennet, a sharp-witted and independent young woman, as she navigates societal pressures and familial expectations in 19th-century England. Her initial disdain for the aloof Mr. Darcy evolves into a profound connection, illustrating themes of love, misunderstanding, and personal growth.
Beyond the theatrical re-release, Focus Features has announced a new line of merchandise to commemorate the film’s milestone. Additionally, in collaboration with Decca Records, the Academy Award-nominated soundtrack composed by Dario Marianelli and performed by Jean-Yves Thibaudet will be available on vinyl later this spring.
Tickets for the 20th-anniversary screenings are now available through major theater chains, including AMC, Cinemark, and Fandango. Fans are encouraged to check local listings for participating locations and showtimes to relive the enchanting story of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy on the silver screen.
This anniversary event underscores the enduring appeal of “Pride & Prejudice,” inviting audiences to once again be captivated by its romance, wit, and emotional depth.
