Purple Rain – the legendary movie dramatisation of Prince’s classic 1984 album of the same name – will be rereleased in a new Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos immersive audio enhanced digital print for one night only, appearing across the US and UK on 5 March 2025.
Dolby and Warner Bros. Discovery have worked together on the new version, taking a new 8K scan from the film’s 35mm Original Camera Negative (OCN) with the digitally restored picture being color graded specifically for Dolby Vision. For the audio the team restored the original cinema release’s Dolby Stereo tracks from over 40 years ago and, in conjunction with audio from the 20th anniversary’s 5.1 multi-channel mix master, merged them to complete a 2025-ready Dolby Atmos audio mix for the first time.
