LISA’s feature documentary ‘Always Lalisa’ has confirmed its theatrical release schedule. According to an announcement from Sony Music Vision, the film will receive a limited release through Trafalgar Releasing in IMAX and theaters worldwide beginning October 12, 2026. However, the theaters screening the film and the regions where tickets are available must be confirmed through additional notices on the official movie website.
Key Changes
The first date to check is the ticket-sales launch. Theatrical tickets are scheduled to go on official sale at AlwaysLaLisa.com beginning September 9, 2026. Since the film opens on October 12, anyone planning to attend should check both the ticket launch and regional screening information.
| Category | Confirmed schedule/status |
|---|---|
| Limited IMAX and theatrical release | Beginning October 12, 2026 |
| Official ticket sales | Beginning September 9, 2026, at AlwaysLaLisa.com |
| YouTube Premium | Scheduled for release during 2026; specific date not announced |
| LISA’s upcoming EP ‘PRESS PLAY’ | Listed for October 23, 2026 |
October 12 is the theatrical release date, while the YouTube Premium release date has not yet been specified.
Current Status
‘Always Lalisa’ is a feature documentary directed by Sue Kim. The film covers a year of transition in which LISA stepped away from BLACKPINK for a time to focus on solo music, acting, and building her brand. The theatrical release is therefore more than the publication of a concert film; it offers a cinematic look at the expansion of her solo career.
After its theatrical run, the film is scheduled for global streaming on YouTube Premium. However, the timing has only been described as “during 2026,” and no exact date has been announced. Viewers who miss the theatrical release are expected to have a streaming option, but the actual viewing date and regional availability will require a follow-up announcement.
LISA’s official website links to the movie page and lists October 23, 2026, as the release date for the upcoming EP ‘PRESS PLAY.’ Because the film’s theatrical release and the EP’s release date are close together, October may become a consecutive period of interest for fans following both the documentary and LISA’s music activities.
What Has Been Confirmed About the Relationship Remarks?
Past relationship-related remarks mentioned in the documentary have also contributed to the surge in searches. GMA News reported that LISA said she had kept several past relationships private because she did not want to affect BLACKPINK’s popularity. These remarks were presented as comments about past experiences and decisions made at the time.
The Korea Times reported that the song ‘Dream,’ included on ‘Alter Ego,’ was inspired by a past secret relationship and that LISA asked the other person for permission before releasing the song. Public reports discuss the song’s creative background and the past relationship but do not identify the other person.
Accordingly, the verifiable scope extends only to remarks about past relationships and the creative background of ‘Dream.’ No basis for inferring a specific person’s name or identity has been made public, and these remarks cannot confirm LISA’s current relationship status.
Impact
This release schedule connects LISA’s music activities and video content in one sequence. The documentary will be available in IMAX and theaters from October 12, followed by the official website’s listed release date for the EP ‘PRESS PLAY’ on October 23. YouTube Premium streaming is scheduled afterward, creating a staggered theatrical and online release structure.
When preparing to watch, distinguish among these three dates:
- The film’s official theatrical release date is October 12.
- Ticket sales begin September 9 through AlwaysLaLisa.com.
- The YouTube Premium release is scheduled for sometime in 2026, but the exact date is undecided.
Sony Music Vision’s announcement alone does not confirm theaters or ticket availability in every country. Regional screening availability, showtimes, and booking links can be confirmed more specifically after additional notices are posted on the official movie website.
Next Checkpoints
The first checkpoint is September 9, when ticket sales begin. At that time, viewers should check the official website for theaters in their area and ticket availability. The second is October 12, the theatrical release date, when final information about screening formats and regional schedules may be provided.
The exact YouTube Premium release date requires a separate announcement. For now, only a global streaming release during 2026 has been confirmed. LISA’s remarks about past relationships and the background of ‘Dream’ also concern past events mentioned in the documentary; no information has been made public that can connect them to a current dating rumor or identify a specific individual.
The official YouTube video ‘LISA - ROCKSTAR (Official Music Video)’ from LLOUD Official can also be viewed. It is not a trailer for the documentary itself, but it provides context for LISA’s solo music activities. Anyone interested in following the connection between the film’s release schedule and her solo career may find it useful alongside the documentary’s official announcements.
