DENVER, Feb. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- For two days only
this March, " Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie " returns to movie theaters across the nation. The digitally remastered version
of the 2004 anime box office hit was inspired by the internationally popular Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading card game, manga and TV
series.
Presented by Fathom Events and 4K Media Inc., "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie" will have special
showings on Sunday, March 11 at 12:55 p.m. and Monday, March 12 at 7:00 p.m. (all local times). In addition to viewing the
full-length anime feature, moviegoers will be treated to a sneak peek of the first episode of the sixth Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series,
"Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS" English-dubbed premiere.

In "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie," a heroic Yugi squares off against archrival Kaiba in an adventure even more dangerous when
the imaginary monsters in their playing cards become ferociously real… and when an old evil enters the fray. Who will win this
ultimate smackdown? Whether you're a novice Duelist or a professional, you'll want to watch and find out!
