CJ 4DPLEX announced today that it has acquired all rights to the buzzy Tribeca documentary, “The Rose: Come Back To Me,” and is set to bring indie rock sensation The Rose to global cinemas in 2026. The announcement was made by Jun Bang, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX, the world’s leading producer of immersive film formats and cinema technologies, ahead of the film’s International Premiere at the Busan International Film Festival. The company continues to redefine how audiences experience cinema — this time, through the music and story of one of Korea’s breakout alternative rock bands, which has captivated audiences around the world.

CJ 4DPLEX is a leading, next-generation cinema technology company, headquartered in Seoul with international offices in Los Angeles, Beijing and Tokyo. The company has created innovative film technologies for theaters worldwide that include “SCREENX”, “4DX”, and “Ultra 4DX” for consumers to experience films in ways that were never before possible. From production to distribution, spanning exhibition to home entertainment, CJ 4DPLEX also serves as the world’s leading Alternative content Provider.

CJ 4DPLEX is a part of the CJ Group conglomerate that also includes entertainment powerhouses CJ CGV, the fifth largest theater chain in the world, and CJ ENM (CJ Entertainment & Media), who produced the Academy Award, Golden Globe and SAG Awards winning film, “Parasite”.

“We are thrilled to be part of the inspiring journey of The Rose,” said Jun Bang, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX. “Leveraging our extensive global theater network, we are committed to bringing this exceptional documentary to theaters worldwide and reaching the broadest possible audience.”

Featuring immersive live performances, behind-the-scenes stories, and heartfelt interviews, the documentary captures The Rose’s unwavering passion for music and the strength of their teamwork. This compelling film -showcases the band’s deep creative involvement from songwriting to stage direction.

After making its premiere at the Tribeca Festival 2025 in June, the film ran away with audiences and critics alike, and received the Tribeca Runner-up Audience Prize and quickly sold out all of its screenings with an additional screening added to support the overwhelming audience demand. Directed by the award-winning Eugene Yi (Sundance’s “Free Chol Soo Lee”), and produced by Diane Quon (Oscar-nominated “Minding the Gap”), Marginal MediaWorks’ Sanjay M. Sharma and Milan Chakraborty (Tribeca Jury Prize winner “Cypher”), HYBE America’s James Shin (currently in production with Paramount on an “Untitled” K-Pop film directed by Benson Lee) and Wavelength’s Joe Plummer (award-winning “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?,” “Rather”).

“Knowing how dominant Korean culture is globally – from ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ to ‘Parasite’ – international audiences are all eager to go deeper and learn more” said Diane Quon and Sanjay M. Sharma on behalf of the producing team behind the popular Tribeca doc. “The Rose is as much a music doc as it is a coming-of-age story – about a group of friends finding their own way through the world. It’s a story of heartbreak and healing, conformity and individuality, and ultimately about the transformative power of music around the world. We are humbled to have the world’s preeminent Korean entertainment company, CJ, partner with us to bring the film to global audiences – in theaters – through the unique power of 4DPLEX.”

“The Rose: Come Back To Me” will screen three times at the Busan International Film Festival and will continue on additional film festivals worldwide, with the global theatrical release in 2026.
