Starring Michael Keaton in the titular role, both films have been remastered and will screen at over 160 Dolby Cinema at AMC theater locations across the U.S.
Announced Friday, the event marks the first time both films will be presented in Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos sound technology. Advance tickets are available now , but are quickly getting swept up.
“I hadn’t watched these films since I made them, and seeing them again with this level of clarity, beauty, color and sound felt really new and exciting,” Burton said in Friday’s announcement. “Dolby Atmos and Vision brought it all to life in a fresh way.”
