Twice is heading from the London O2 Arena to movie theaters with Twice: This Is For… You, a concert film drawn from the group’s “This Is For” world tour. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on Feb. 5, 2027, with Crosswalk handling the U.S. and Canada and Universal Pictures International handling international territories.

The project combines footage of Twice’s O2 Arena show with behind-the-scenes access to the nine-member K-pop group: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu. That makes the release more than a simple documentation of a single performance. Its stated format is built around both the stage-scale presentation and material intended to show activity around the concert itself.

A theatrical event built around a London arena performance

Concert films occupy a distinctive space between a filmed live show and a conventional music documentary. The concert footage is the centerpiece: audiences can expect the scale, staging and collective energy associated with an arena date. Behind-the-scenes footage, meanwhile, generally changes the vantage point. Rather than remaining in the audience’s line of sight, it can place viewers nearer to the processes surrounding a performance.

In this case, the O2 Arena setting is central to the film’s identity. Twice’s world tour is the framework, but the film specifically captures the group in London. That specificity matters for a concert-film release because it gives the theatrical presentation a defined performance setting rather than presenting an unspecified compilation of tour material.

The film’s distribution plan also has a straightforward practical implication for fans. Crosswalk’s release covers the United States and Canada, while Universal Pictures International will oversee territories outside them. A theatrical release does not, on its own, establish individual cinema locations, ticket timing, show-count length or any later home release. Those details have not been provided, so prospective attendees will need to watch for local theater information closer to Feb. 5, 2027.

The creative team behind the camera

Twice: This Is For… You is directed by Paul Dugdale and Hannah Lux Davis, and produced by Live Nation Studios. Dugdale previously directed Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience, as well as Adele: One Night Only and Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour. Davis’s cited work includes ADELA’s “Nicole Kidman” and Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next.”

That pairing points to two complementary areas of music-film experience without defining precisely how duties were divided on the Twice project. Dugdale’s listed credits include large-scale concert and television music presentations, while Davis’s listed work includes music-video direction. The confirmed takeaway is simply that the film has two directors whose prior work sits within filmed music performance and artist-focused visual storytelling.

For audiences, director credits can be useful context rather than a promise of specific techniques. They identify the filmmakers responsible for shaping what is selected from the performance, how the visual material is assembled, and how the concert footage and backstage elements are arranged into a feature-length viewing experience. They do not confirm a setlist, runtime, rating, interview subjects or the amount of behind-the-scenes material in the finished film.

Why the earlier Stray Kids release matters

The Twice film follows Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience, another K-pop concert film that Crosswalk and Universal Pictures Content Group distributed earlier in the year. That earlier release was also directed by Dugdale. The companies are continuing their partnership with Live Nation on a new theatrical K-pop event after describing the response to the Stray Kids film as strong.

This connection is meaningful because it establishes a recent distribution path for a big-screen K-pop concert experience, not because it means the two films will be identical. Twice: This Is For… You concerns a different group, a different tour and a London performance, and it also lists Hannah Lux Davis as co-director. The prior film is best understood as evidence that the distributors and Live Nation Studios are extending an existing event-cinema collaboration.

Event cinema is a term for theater programming that is not a standard narrative feature release. It can include filmed concerts, sports programming, stage productions and other time-sensitive or special-occasion presentations. For a fan audience, its appeal is often communal: the performance can be seen on a theater screen with other attendees, even when the original live date is no longer accessible or was held in another country.

That communal aspect is especially relevant to a group whose audience spans multiple territories. A theatrical presentation can bring a particular tour stop to fans beyond the venue, while preserving the emphasis on a shared viewing occasion. It is not the same as attending the London show in person, nor is it presented as a replacement for that experience. It is a separately packaged way to view footage from it on the big screen.

Twice’s place in the release

Twice formed under JYP Entertainment in 2015. The group is described as one of the best-selling K-pop recording artists of all time and has achieved a No. 1 hit on the Billboard 200, seven consecutive top-10 entries on that chart, plus two Gold certifications and one Platinum certification from the RIAA.

Those chart and certification milestones explain the international scale of the theatrical plan without needing to overstate what the film will contain. The Billboard 200 is an album chart, while RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications refer to recognized sales-and-streaming thresholds in the United States. They are separate measures, but together they offer context for Twice’s sustained commercial reach in a major music market.

The film’s nine credited members are an important detail for viewers who approach a concert release through the group dynamic as much as through individual songs. Twice is not being framed here as a solo-artist document centered on one performer; the announced feature follows the full group in a tour setting. Still, no member-specific segments, solo stages or documentary storylines have been confirmed.

What is confirmed — and what remains open

  • Confirmed: The film features Twice at London’s O2 Arena during the “This Is For” world tour.
  • Confirmed: It includes concert footage and behind-the-scenes access.
  • Confirmed: Paul Dugdale and Hannah Lux Davis directed it, and Live Nation Studios produced it.
  • Confirmed: The theatrical date is Feb. 5, 2027.
  • Confirmed: Crosswalk will release the film in the U.S. and Canada; Universal Pictures International will release it internationally.
  • Not specified: Runtime, ticket prices, participating theaters, setlist, rating and any future streaming or physical-media plans.

Keeping that distinction clear is useful with concert-film announcements. A title, date and territory plan can establish the basic route to theaters, but they do not automatically answer the viewing questions fans tend to have next. In particular, an international release arrangement signals broad territorial intent, not a confirmed screening in every city or theater chain.

A wider screen for a live-performance format

The release arrives amid continued interest in music-centered theatrical programming. Concert films give artists and distributors a format that can spotlight a tour’s production values while reaching people who could not attend a given date. For a group with a global audience, the attraction is obvious: footage from an arena event can circulate across borders in an environment designed for a large screen and shared crowd response.

That does not reduce the importance of the artists or the music. It changes the mode of access. The live concert remains a one-place, one-night event; the film preserves and reframes a performance for theaters. With backstage access included, Twice: This Is For… You is positioned to provide both the outward-facing concert spectacle and a view beyond the stage.

For Twice fans, the key date is Feb. 5, 2027. Until more theater-specific details are released, the clearest expectation is a big-screen presentation of the group’s O2 Arena performance, enhanced with exclusive behind-the-scenes material and delivered through a coordinated North American and international rollout.
