LISA’s “Always Lalisa” Is Coming to Cinemas and IMAX Worldwide on October 12

"Always Lalisa" Goes Global

What began as an unexplained listing on cinema websites is now official: LISA’s feature documentary Always Lalisa is set for a worldwide release in cinemas and IMAX.

LLOUD has confirmed that this limited theatrical engagement will commence on October 12, 2026, with tickets officially going on sale starting September 9. Fans eager for local updates can register their interest via AlwaysLalisa.com.

The phrase “for a limited time” is crucial. As of now, LLOUD has not released a comprehensive list of participating countries, specific theaters, showtimes, or the exact duration of the engagement. BLINKs are advised to exercise caution and avoid unofficial ticket links, waiting instead for their local cinema or the documentary’s official website to activate sales.

Inside LISA's Big Screen Debut

Directed by Sue Kim, Always Lalisa chronicles a pivotal year in LISA’s life as she navigates professional independence outside of BLACKPINK’s established group schedule.

According to Sony Music Vision, the film delves into the immense pressure of launching her solo career, venturing into acting, establishing her own company, and striving to protect her personal life from the relentless glare of the spotlight.

This documentary is not framed as a narrative about leaving BLACKPINK. Instead, it captures the specific period during which LISA forged a new identity as an independent solo artist before her return to the group. This makes the emotional stakes profoundly more personal than those typically found in a conventional concert film.

The reported 97-minute runtime provides ample space for the story to extend beyond mere performances and polished campaign footage. It promises an intimate look at the fear, ambition, and private decisions that underpin the global superstar audiences usually only see after the work is complete.

From Toronto Premiere to IMAX

Prior to its global theatrical launch, Always Lalisa will have its world premiere in the prestigious Gala programme of the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival.

The documentary is a collaborative production by Sony Music Vision in association with RCA Records, Tremolo Productions, Salt Water Productions, and LLOUD CO. Notably, Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville is among its executive producers.

Its IMAX release significantly elevates the project's scale. However, current technical details do not confirm that the documentary was filmed with IMAX-certified cameras. The announcement specifies an IMAX presentation, rather than a particular production format.

Preparing for September 9

The most critical date for fans is now September 9, when official ticket sales are slated to begin. Theater availability will vary across different markets, making it essential for BLINKs to register through the official website and regularly check trusted local cinema chains for updates.

For LISA, this marks another significant milestone: her personal journey into solo music, acting, and entrepreneurship is no longer solely for a festival audience. It is evolving into a shared worldwide cinematic event.

On October 12, BLINKs will not just observe LISA’s journey—they will experience the year Lalisa became LLOUD on the largest screen possible. 💛🎬
